TEAM Miller edged Pegasus 102-99 for back-to-back wins in the all-star gear up games last night.
Ray Miller topscored for Team Miller with 32 points while Sameen Swint added 29 - including six treys - in the victory at the BBA court in Batu Bersurat.
Samuel Jong was the other in double figures with 13 points - 11 of them coming in the second period.
On the other hand, Patrick Cabahug had the hot hands for Pegasus with a game-high of 36 points.
Both Roider Cabrera, who knocked down six three-pointers, and Lim Liang Wei finished with 20 points each in the defeat.
Pegasus were up 99-95 late on before back-to-back baskets by Michael Clark and Willie Miller respectively to tie the game with under two minutes to play.
They went in front after Ray completed an alley-oop dunk off a Michael Clark assist with just over 20 seconds to go.
Pegasus turned the ball over in the next possession four seconds later.
They had no choice but to foul - four consecutive times - till they got in the penalty sending Swint to the line with six seconds left.
He missed the first before connecting on the second resulting in a timeout by Pegasus.
Ahmad Termizi Hj Noordeen from the inbounds got the ball in the hands of Cabrera but his potential game-tying shot was blocked by Swint just before the buzzer.
The games were gear ups for Pegasus as they prepare for the Thailand Basketball Super League (TBSL) starting this weekend.
They will open their campaign against Makabayan Warriors of the Philippines on Saturday.
