Friends stains Park N Go’s record
THE FRIENDS handed the Park N Go Bakeshop its first loss of the tournament, 109-104, in the Power Forty President’s Cup last Tuesday at the Inayawan Sports Complex.
It was the Friends’ second win in as many games as they took the solo lead in the standings, dropping their victims to 2-1 (win-loss).
They led big, 59-38, but blew that late in the second period behind the efforts of Park N Go’s Jingjing Rama and Michael Arias.
But the Friends were unfazed and finished the game strong behind the timely shotmaking of Alex Mercado, Julian Capala and Rey Abarquez for the five-point victory.
Mercado finished with 29 points while Capala added 18.
Earlier, the AMBL defeated Akira, 81-74 with Robert Abasolo scoring 21 points.
