Mobil fended off a second half rally by Andhok\u2019s, 76-73, in Monday\u2019s Garapan Basketball League – IT&E Cup matchup at the Garapan Basketball Court.<\/p>\n
The win evened out Mobil\u2019s win-loss card to 3-3. <\/p>\n
Andhok\u2019s gave Mobil hell, but fell a basket short of forcing overtime and is solemnly still in search of a win after five tries. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Konflikt-IT&E (4-0) was leading the Ol\u2019Aces (1-2), 68-66, with four minutes left in the game when rain caused an untimely stoppage of play in Monday\u2019s second matchup.<\/p>\n
The game was scheduled to resume at 6:15pm last night followed by Mobil squaring off against Ol\u2019Aces at 7pm. Then Konflikt-IT&E returns to the floor to take on Andhok\u2019s at 9pm; weather permitting.<\/p>\n
Mobil shared the ball well at the start of the first game as a handful of players chipped in for a 14-12 edge in the opening 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Andhok\u2019s Alex Lauron muscled his way for eight points in the second quarter, but Mobil buried three treys late in the period to maintain a 35-32 margin at halftime.<\/p>\n
Mobil\u2019s Angelo Fernando scrambled for eight markers in the first half.<\/p>\n
Andhok\u2019s kept grinding after the break and mounted a 51-45 comeback heading into the final period.<\/p>\n
With Mobil\u2019s first stringers taking a breather, Lauron led Andhok\u2019s\u2019 third quarter charge with seven points.<\/p>\n
Mobil saved its best for last as Jun Estolas returned to the floor and drained a couple of early three-balls for 11 points in the final stanza that went with six big points in the clutch by teammate Larry Sharry.<\/p>\n
Mobil 76 \u2013 Estolas 25, Sharry 13, Fernando 11, Maratita 10, Lizama 8, Wenceslao 7, Factor 2.<\/p>\n
Andhok\u2019s 73 \u2013 Lauron 29, Artates 11, Tenorio 10, Montano 10, Wesley 3.<\/p>\n
