Wildcats burn Fire Eater with emphatic win
Wednesday, June 16, 2010
THE GILR Wildcats continued their winning ways with an 88-45 demolition of Fire Eater in Group B of the 2nd Queenielin's Cup last night at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat. Following their surprising 100-85 victory over Palm Cafe last Saturday, three players notched double figures in last night's win.
Archie Perez topscored for the team with 14 points while Wawie Ybanez and Erneste Espeque chipped in 11 and 10 points respectively.
On the other hand, McDonald Retuya had the game-high of 16 points to pace Fire Eater and Manny Meridor contributed 12 points in the losing effort.
The GILR Wildcats got off to a better start as they were dominant inside
the paint with their height advantage. Fire Eater would turn to Retuya,
who would put in 10 points for the period, but saw his team down 19-14
heading into the second quarter.
Fire Eater were made to suffer as they only had two substitutes on the bench as the GILR Wildcats switched gears. They were running the floor in numbers while their opponents couldn't catch up on defence.
It was one way traffic with the GILR Wildcats scoring on fastbreaks before opening up a 47-21 advantage at halftime.
It was the same affair in the third stanza with Fire Eater making numerous turnovers. The GILR Wildcats would quickly pass the ball up court and the game was summed up when Ybanez connected on a three-pointer beating the buzzer to put his team in total
control at 66-37 for their second straight win. Read More...
