Titans repulse Blue Devils
SHERWIN Emmanuelle Resilla put on a magnificent offensive show as he steered the defending champions Teletech Titans to a nail-biting 81-80 win over the Stream Blue Devils last Sunday in the 2011 E-League for Basketball at the City Sports Club-Cebu Gym.
Resilla erupted for 38 points, the most points scored by a player this season and preserved his heroics with clutch endgame plays.
Resilla first hit a three-pointer that tied the score at 78-all with 16 seconds left. He then canned two freebies in the final five seconds that sealed the Titans’ thrilling win, allowing them to catch up with co-leaders Convergys and Lexmark at 6-1 (win-loss).
It was virtually a one-man show for Resilla as Lourenz Limpangog was the only other Teletch player in double figures.
Sylvester Millevo scored 23 points for the Blue Devils, who saw their six-game win streak come to an end to drop to 6-2.
In the other game, the Aegis People Support Vipers broke two league-records in their 120-33 slaying of the hapless Executive Boutique Tarantulas.
In tallying their fourth win in eight games, the Vipers recorded the most points scored by a team in league story. The 87-point win was also the biggest winning margin made a by team in league history.
Meanwhile, Dennis Noel Poquita scored 22 points, Michael Gabutin added 16 and Edward Henry Lago had 11 as Opinionology secured its fourth win in eight starts with a 98-56 dumping of the JP Morgan Chase and Co. Bankers. /EDITORIAL ASSISTANT CALVIN D. CORDOVA
