LAGUNA WINS, FORCES RUBBER MATCH WITH TAGUIG

TAGUIG CITY – The visiting sixth seed Trace-Laguna Stallions forced a winner-take-all game for the last seat in this weekend’s Super Leg by upsetting fifth seed Forward Taguig, 83-79, in their Smart Liga Pilipinas Conference III Wild Card game Tuesday evening at the C. P. Tinga Memorial Hall.



With their conference on the line, the Stallions of Atty. Erwin Genuino and Coach Nomar banked on the combined 15 fourth period points of guard Alex Angeles and the returning Leo Losentes plus crucial baskets by Alfie Grijaldo to pull off the victory and remain in the hunt for the last remaining seat in next week's Liga SuperLeg National Finals.



With Taguig constantly threatening, Grijaldo, Angeles and Losentes banged in a triple each that erected an 81-74 Stallions advantage with 1:13 to play. Angeles and Losentes then split their separate trips to the free throw each to ensure the win at the 41-second mark. Jeff Sanders settled the final tally with the game’s final five points.



Angeles, RB Mangahas and Ron Capati gave Laguna their biggest lead of the contest, 43-33, early in the third period. Taguig of Mayor Freddie R. Tinga and Coach Bing Victoria slowly closed in, with Michael Gonzales giving them the lead for the first time via a three-point play with 8:16 remaining in the final canto, 58-56.



After a deadlock and four lead changes, Grijaldo followed a Jan Villaver triple with a basket that gave the Stallions the lead for good, 68-67, and 3:59 to play. A good first period worked wonders for the Stallions as Capati and Rob Sanz quickly found their scoring touch for a 19-14 advantage.



“Cebu City, we’re getting there,” said an exhausted Coach Isla. “After the Apayao Leg, we held team meetings and the team vowed to work very hard at practice as we prepared for Taguig.” Taguig’s twice-to-beat advantage is now history and both coaches have less than 24 hours to make adjustments for the rubber match to be held still at Tinga Hall.



Angeles had a good all-around game with 14 points, six rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes of play. Sanz followed with 12 points. Sanders paced Taguig with 22 points while Nino Marquez chipped in 14.



The five-team Super Leg is scheduled for November 22 to 29 at the New Cebu Coliseum and will determine the next Liga Pilipinas National Champion. Already earning their tickets are the undefeated M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu Ninos, Smart-Pampanga Buddies, Quezon Red Oilers and the defending National Champion Misamis Oriental Meteors.



The Liga Pilipinas Wild Card games and the whole Super Leg will be aired on Solar Sports starting next week. Liga Pilipinas Classics are also seen daily on Viva Prime Channel.

CMO drubs PRO-XI 95-72, sweeps elims

City Mayor’s Office completed a sweep of the eliminations but this last win did not come all too easy.

The league-leading Mayor’s Men ran smack into a tough Police Regional Office-XI quintet that fought tooth and nail to the end but came out with enough ammunition to eke out a 95-72 win for its eighth win and a sweep of the elimination phase in Group A of the Mayor Rody and Inday Sara 7th PNP-AFP Basketball Tournament over the weekend at the Almendras Gym.

Streak-shooting Christopher “Bong” Go was shadowed throughout the match but he was able to burry some from his favorite area beyond the arc including one from near the halfcourt mark before the end of the first half and a rare four-point play in the third canto for a game-high 28 points.

“This is the toughest game we played. They were very physical in defense,” said Go after the match.

Former pro Dindo Pastor added 19 markers including five triples while daredevil Roy Bangkas chipped in 13.

The Mayor’s Men erected a huge lead that ballooned to 38-17 midway in the second canto with Go and the Triple B connection of Bangkas, Dioven Braga and Ariel Bonleon conspiring with slotman Cadel Mosqueda and Pastor.

Archie Zozobrado led the PRO-XI side with 23 as they dropped to 3-1.

In other games, RMG continued its winning ways with a masterful 116-91 massacre of Philippine Coast Guard for their fourth straight win in as many games in Group B. PCG dropped to 0-4. Special Action Force also kept abreast with a 4-0 card after blasting East Mincom (0-4) 116-98. (NJB-City Sports)
