Sherwin Williams remains unscathed in the 2011 Blue Haus Invitational Basketball League after slipping past Fong\u2019s Bakery, 74-70, Thursday night at the Gualo Rai Basketball Court.<\/p>\n
The game was a continuation of the two teams\u2019 B bracket matchup from Tuesday. The nightcap between Motombo Bud Brothers (1-3) and Life Force (0-3) was suspended at halftime on account of rain with the former on top, 49-43.<\/p>\n
Fong\u2019s Bakery got off to a quick start thanks to two 3-pointers that gave it an early 18-16 margin over Sherwin Williams at the end of the first quarter.<\/p>\n
The latter, however, kept pace in the second quarter and knotted the game at 33-all at halftime.<\/p>\n
Seven Sherwin Williams players chipped in on the action, while Jayde Duhon led Fong\u2019s Bakery with 10 points. <\/p>\n
Sherwin Williams bit down on defense and limited Fong\u2019s Bakery to just a baker\u2019s dozen in the third quarter, allowing it to jump in front, 54-46. Joe Ada came off the bench scoring 10 points in the period to spearhead Sherwin Williams\u2019 run.<\/p>\n
Fong\u2019s Bakery charged back at crunch time and dropped three from downtown, but Sherwin Williams held strong for the win. Ada scored eight points in the final period, including a pair of free throws that closed the game. <\/p>\n
Ada and teammate Jun Tabora combined for 46 points, while Fong\u2019s Bakery\u2019s Jomer Diyco finished with a team-high 17. <\/p>\n
The loss was Fong\u2019s Bakery\u2019s first in three games.<\/p>\n
Aside from the Bud Brothers-Life Force match, the late-game pairing between Marianas Water (1-3) and Lyn\u2019s BBQ (1-3) Thursday night was also called off and will be rescheduled at a later date.<\/p>\n
Wednesday\u2019s game between Star Water (2-2) and MBI (2-2) was also put on hold due to rain after a half of play. Star Water held a slim, 32-30, lead at the break when organizers declared the court unplayable.<\/p>\n
In other results, C-Bracket frontrunner Fresco Saipan (6-0) defeated Mawati (1-2), 84-79, in Wednesday\u2019s opener, while Pacific Postal evened its record to 2-2 after handing A bracket leader Inchcape its second loss in six games, 67-61, in Tuesday\u2019s first match.<\/p>\n
The Blue Haus caging continues tonight with C-Bracket\u2019s Cell Pro (1-2) taking on Jacem Printing (1-2) at 5:30pm followed by Fong\u2019s Bakery against second-ranked Joeten Superstore (3-0) in B bracket play at 8pm.<\/p>\n
