Friday, June 25, 2010
Palm Cafe ended Liga Bumiputera's chances of making it into the semi-finals with an 87-58 thumping in Group B of the 2nd Queenielin's Cup last night at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat. Danny Felicilda had the hot hands for Palm Cafe with a game-high of 21 points while Geve Leones and Jolito Entapan each contributed 16 points.
On the other hand, Mohd Azrani Hamzah topscored for Liga Bumiputera with 19 points and Lim Liang Wei chipped in 11 points to a losing cause.
Palm Cafe got off to a hot start with good defence and went on the break to open up a 21-2 lead midway through the opening period. They were dominating the boards and covering the cutting lanes but Liga Bumiputera got their act together and started knocking down shots to cut the deficit to 26-16 going into the second quarter.
Liga Bumiputera were dribbling the ball too much which led to turnovers but they slowly chipped away the lead as Palm Cafe settled for long distance shots which they failed to convert.
It was tied at 28-28 midway through the quarter but Palm Cafe shifted
gears to finish off their opponents with a 14-2 run to stay ahead at 45-30 at halftime.
Things never changed after the break and Liga Bumiputera had their backs against the wall with only two players on the bench.
Palm Cafe would continue to run the floor to extend their lead to as much as 31 points, cruising to victory. Read More...
