But after that, City Sports Coordinator Christopher "Bong" Go, City General Services Officer Marvin "Oying" Melodias, Melchor Gadiano, Jonel Avendaño jelled at crunch time to regain the lead and never looked back.
Aldrin Casado led the Legislators on the attack, 1:45 remaining in the last canto, and cut the lead to just three points, 96-99, but their errors gave the Executives the opportunity to bounce back.
