Pelita Jaya aim to keep momentum before 2026 IBL final
Game 1 of the best-of-five series is set for Friday at GMSB Jakarta, with Pelita Jaya viewing Bogor's foreign trio as the main threat.
Pelita Jaya Jakarta enter the 2026 Indonesian Basketball League final with high confidence after players returned to full fitness and preparations went according to plan. Game 1 of the best-of-five final against Bogor Hornbills is scheduled for GOR Mahasiswa Soemantri Brodjonegoro, Jakarta, on Friday, 19 June 2026. Coach David Singleton said his team is in a positive rhythm, but that momentum must be proven on the court. He also refused to take Hornbills lightly after they reached the final for the first time on the back of a consistent season. According to Singleton, the opponent's main threats are Stephaun Branch, Travin Thibodeaux, and Kaleb Wesson. Thibodeaux, the season MVP, along with Wesson and Branch, can change the course of the game, so their space must be limited.
