However, Goldberry asserted itself in the second half behind the inside-out scoring of siblings Jeremy and Justin Huang and Dave Ting to register its third win in four games.
Jeremy Huang led the winners with 16 points, Ting added 13 while Justin Huang chipped in 10 to send the Landmasters to their second loss against a lone win.
