Sharks stay perfect
Monday, August 9, 2010
Sharks kept their perfect record intact with a 91-71 triumph over Ifdhaal Enterprise in Group A of the 2010 Sultan's Cup at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat last night.
Four players notched double figures for Sharks with Aries Castro putting up a shooting clinic with 36 points. Jolito Entapan added 15 while Geve
Leones and Elvin Requintin chipped in 13 and 11 points respectively in the win.
On the other hand, Armando Estoesta topscored for Ifdhaal Enterprise with 20 points while Ahmad Termizi Nordeen and Hj Md Rahmat Hj Suhaili each poured in 15 points to a losing cause.
Ifdhaal Enterprise started off on the wrong foot last night. Sharks were
throwing quick outlet passes after each rebound and Castro was the main benefactor at the offensive end as he poured in 10 points in the opening period to help Sharks open up a 23-13 lead going into the second quarter.
It was the same affair in the second period as Sharks were trapping and pressing their opponents' ball handler at the defensive end for steals.
Ifdhaal Enterprise failed to handle the pressure which resulted in turnovers. Sharks were going on fastbreaks to score easily and extended their lead to 47-26 at halftime.
Ifdhaal Enterprise never backed down and nailed their shots when given the opportunity. Sharks were gifting their opponents open looks as they
failed to put a hand in their face on set plays.
But Castro was on fire with his catch shooting for 16 points in the stanza as Sharks rode on a 70-52 cushion into the final quarter.
They continued to run the floor in the fourth period and extended their lead to as large as 28 points as they cruised to victory sending Ifdhaal Enterprise to their third straight loss.
"I'm not satisfied with our performance yet. We haven't had any practice yet and we're still lacking communication on the floor," said Leones, the captain of Sharks, in an interview with The Brunei Times, after the win.
"Our defence and stamina are fine at the moment. We'll need to talk to each other more on offence and get more passing done as well," added Leones.
Meanwhile, Ranoadidas Rockettes emerged champions of the women's category after they edged Steam Solutions 56-54 in the earlier match.
