Inter-company basketball tips off
Monday, May 30, 2011
TOURNAMENT favourites SKS (Syarikat Kejuruteraan Sistematik S/B) survived a hard fought battle to grab an 85-80 victory over IMD (Istana Maintenance Dept) in Group A of the Inter-Company Basketball Tournament yesterday at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat. Four players hit double figures for SKS with Rio Oblido leading the way hitting a game-high of 27 points, with 11 coming from the freethrow line, and Cesar Asaldo pouring in 21. Rollin Castillo and Lowey Jee Palma each chipped in 13 and 11 points respectively in the win.
Aries Castro topscored for IMD with 22 points and Elvin Requintin added 21 points in the losing effort.
IMD started the game as the better team with SKS failing to make their shots from range.
SKS, however, kept themselves in the game by being aggressive inside the paint at the offensive end, drawing fouls to earn their points from the charity stripe.
With Requintin manning the paint and putting up a block party, IMD would lead by as much as six points but SKS switched to man-to-man defence to claw within 19-20 heading into the second quarter.
The shooting woes continued for SKS while in contrast IMD were getting good looks at the basket. Read More… Source: The Brunei Times
