\"Konflikt-IT&E\u00a0Konflikt-IT&E sparked a late surge in a back-and-forth duel with Mobil and held on strong in the clutch to snatch a 92-84 victory in overtime in Sunday’s Garapan Basketball League IT&E Cup held at the Garapan Basketball Court.<\/p>\n

A continuation match preceded the main game, which ended in the Rebels overcoming an eight-point halftime deficit to upset FGC, 72-66.<\/p>\n

Both Konflikt-IT&E and the Rebels are officially on a winning streak with a pair of wins apiece, while Mobil dropped its second game in three matches and FGC (2-1) was issued its first loss. Notably, Sunday’s winners are also the only two unbeaten teams left in GBL’s eight-team field.<\/p>\n

Mobil trailed by three, 59-62, heading into the final period of regulation, but rallied at crunch time to force overtime, 77-77.<\/p>\n

IT&E then nailed a trio of 3-pointers in the extra period to take the win.<\/p>\n

IT&E’s Elmer Esdrelon, Dave Sablan, and Wowie Abuel each helped make it rain in the shining moment.<\/p>\n

IT&E managed a 19-17 lead after the opening tip thanks to a couple of early 3-pointers, but Mobil battled back in the second period and claimed a 44-40 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n

Juan Maratita came out with seven points in the rally, which was complemented by welcomed support.<\/p>\n

Bart Demapan, Leo Factor, and Maratita led Mobil with an even 30 markers in the first half, while eight different players put a hand in for IT&E in the frame.<\/p>\n

Sablan took the reins in the third period with 13 points as IT&E held a slight edge, 62-59, heading into the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

After being held to just 15 points in the previous period, Mobil’s offense answered back and reciprocated IT&E’s effort in the clutch.<\/p>\n

Mobil fought hard in the fourth to grind out a 77-77 stalemate, but its shots ran cold in the bonus period.<\/p>\n

Sablan lit up Mobil with 37 points in a gem of a game, while Demapan and Maratita tallied 20 apiece on the short end.<\/p>\n

Back in Saturday night’s late tiff, FGC built a healthy 17-9 advantage in the opening 10 minutes off six points apiece from Kae Bernardo and Lerio Pagarao. Rebels’ Sahj Hossain managed six against the early onslaught.<\/p>\n

Teams traded baskets in the second quarter as FGC maintained a 38-30 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n

FGC’s Pagarao added six points in the period, while Trevor Ogumoro chipped in seven for the Rebels, but heavy rainfall during the break forced organizers to postpone the match until Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Rebels battled their way back into the match when action picked back up Sunday night and knotted up the count at 47-all heading into the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

The fiery Rebels’ defense stood up against FGC but the latter still managed to save face from six free throws in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

Hossain led the comeback with a handful of markers in the third quarter, and although FGC did a good job taking him out equation at crunch time, his teammates stepped up for him and filled the void with a more than supportive 21-point outburst that sent FGC packing.<\/p>\n

It was a hard-fought battle as the Rebels accrued 22 fouls to FGC’s 19 in the bout, which resulted in both Rebels’ Zack Babuta and FGC’s Derrick Aughenbough fouling out of the game.<\/p>\n

Hossain led all scorers with 21 points, while FGC’s Banjo Basila buried 10 free throws and finished with a team-high 14.<\/p>\n
