By Rommel C. Manlosa
Game tonight: (championship)
(City Sports Club gym)
7 p.m. Class 1996-A vs. Class 1988
SINNERS and Saints 88 showed more determination as it whipped Chester Enterprises 83, 75-53, to retain the Division A title and forge a one-game championship with three-peater Eco-Tech Appliance 96-A, which survived Dendramil Merchandizing 94, 63-60, in the Cecaba-5th Dr. Chen Lieh Fu Memorial Cup at the City Sports Club Gym.
The Class 88 cagers will be eyeing the title denied them by Class 93 last year, while Class 96-A, which has recorded the leagues longest winning run, eyes to reclaim the title.
Erwin Yu led the onslaught as he finished with 17 points as Ernest Tanting and Rey Kenneth Ng added 12 and 11 points.
Class 88 broke away from a 15-all deadlock with a 23-7 bomb in the second quarter.
Class 88 tried to fight back in the third but could only come within 39-53 to start the final period, when the younger batch unleashed a fiery 22-13 blitz that put the game out of reach.
Edwin Ang topped the losing team with 29 points, while the rest of the Class 83 members failed to score in double-digit.
Meanwhile, the combined 43-point output of Jennis Lim, Mark Ryan Babor and Arniel Frank Pelaez was a huge factor for Class 96-A as they bucked the 30-point performance of Anwar Satina.
Class 94 took the opening quarter, 17-11, before the younger squad regained momentum to close the third period, 47-40. Class 96-A then played heads-up basketball to preserve the lead until the final buzzer.
