On the other end, Thanh Nhan Nguyen and Han Minh Trieu each dropped 17 points to pace Vietnam, which ended its preliminaries with a 1-3 record.

MALAYSIA over TIMOR-LESTE, 77-28
Box scores.
- Malaysia is no longer in the running to finish on the podium, but that didn’t stop them from totally outclassing Timor-Leste. Star forward Ivan Yeo played sparingly here, scoring 5 points, but he was hardly needed as Vincent Choong and Liaw Chee Huei scored a combined 27 points to lead Malaysia. No Timorese scored more than 8 points. Malaysia, despite failing to make it to the medal round here, will go on to play in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship.
Line of the Game: Vincent Choong (MAS) - 15pts, 8rebs, 3stls, 2 triples.
