TEAM Hotel outplayed Team Bravo, 86-83, while Foxtrot blasted winless Alpha, 88-70, Friday night at the start of the 2nd round of the Center Katipunan A. Lopez Christian Organization (CEKALCO) 2013 Second Season basketball tournament at the A. Lopez open court in Labangon, Cebu City.

The game was tight right from the opening tip-off which resulted in deadlocks at the end of first, second and third quarters with the latter ending in a 66-all tie.

In the fourth, Hotel soared to a four-point lead, 84-80 but Bravo’s pointguard Fritz Desoyo made it a one-point game by nailing a crucial triple with nine seconds remaining. But Hotel’s skipper Kelvin Cinco calmly sank his two freethrows in the last two seconds to peg the final count as Hotel improved its win-loss record to 6-2. Bravo on the other hand, dropped to 2-6.
