TEAM Alam Na handily won over Team Doki in their fight-marred tussle that was abruptly decided after a 19-8 score.
But the 6-0 win of the streaking wards of Anjun Gomez and Yogi Hembrador was overshadowed by the thrilling victory of Team Dads Uy on Thursday night’s triple-header of the Green CdeO Eagles Club Second President’s Cup basketball tournament at the SPC covered court here.
With only 15 seconds left and Team Baba up by one point, Naknak del Castillo decided to go for a daring penetration that missed.
That was all Team Dads needed as its reliable center John Naliponguit got fouled at the turn, sank both his freebies and blocked the last attempt of Loloy Casiño as time expired.
“Undermanned kaayo mi pero tanan nag-contribute. Maayo sab pagkadala sa among point guard [Anton Pabillore] ang team (We are undermanned but everyone contributes. Our point guard [Anton Pabillore] handled the team well,” said team-playing manager Dads Uyangurin.
Team Daabay also sustained its winning ways against the Eagles Aspirants. (LLS)
