URDAN EXPRESS easily picked up their third victory of the 2nd Queenielin's Cup with a 88-55 demolition of Gills Sport Express in Group A on Thursday night.

Playing at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat, Roldan Binas scored a game-high 16 points for Urdan Express while Crisanto Zamora led Gills Sports Express with 14 points to a losing cause.

Gills Sport Express got off to a hot start by connecting on their first three baskets.

Urdan Express were however rushing their shots and throwing away possessions via sloppy passes.

Urdan Express sat out Mark Del Mundo, their 6ft 4in centre, and Gills Sport Express took advantage of the situation by driving into the paint for easy points to lead 18-11 into the second quarter.

Gills Sport Express had been dominating the boards but Mundo's substitution in the second period turned the game around.

Urdan Express, now sporting a height advantage, ran their offence through their lengthy big man whom Gills Sport Express had no answer for as they could no longer get their shots off in the paint.

Gills Sport Express were limited to only eight points in the quarter which resulted in a 32-26 Urdan Express lead at halftime.

Urdan Express also took advantage of Gills Sport Express's lack of substitutes by incorporating all of their players in their substitution rotations.

Gills Sport Express only had two substitutes for the entire game. Read More...
