In the third quarter, the reigning Asian champions had extended their lead to a 33 point cushion (57-24) to remain out of reach.
It was then over when Malaysia piled up the pressure on Thailand defensively and charged their way to a 42 point gap ending with a scoreline 75-33 at the end of the buzzer.
