With the advantage of home fans, hosts Rattana Bundit controlled the game from the outset to end the first period 25-17. Then things turned around as Srinakarinwirot came alive and outpaced the hosts from the middle of the second quarter to lead 39-37 by half-time.

In the third quarter, both sides played aggressively and fouls were called several times. The Srinakarinwirot side lost Prachya Kruatiwa to injury and the up-and-coming point guard was replaced with Prawit Wichudarat.

The change slowed the visitors' game and allowed the Rattana Bundit team to tie the score at 55-55, and they never looked back. The Srinakarinwirot side's Prachya scored 20 points to be top scorer.

Srinakarinwirot University now have four wins against one loss, while Rattana Bundit University have three wins against two losses.
