The Feds and Department of Public Safety tamed their separate foes to open up their respective playoffs campaign in the 2014 IT&E-DYS Inter-government Basketball League on a high note last Friday night at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

The top-seeded Feds used a second-half scoring spree in coasting to an 83-66 win over Commonwealth Health Center, while DPS thrashed Department of Community and Cultural Affairs, 58-44.<\/p>\n

Holding on to a still manageable 34-29 spread at the turn, Ronnel Gamboa and Joe Esteves led the Feds\u2019 second-half breakaway as they combined for 20 of their team\u2019s 30 points in the third period. Gamboa tallied 12, including 10 straight early in the third.<\/p>\n

The Feds never let CHC recover from there as it had an answer on its opponents\u2019 every comeback attempt to book its fourth straight win since dropping a 71-65 decision against DCAA on Oct. 20.<\/p>\n

Gamboa paced Feds with a game-high 22 points, making three of their team\u2019s eight 3-pointers. Leo Apelo and Juan Camacho tallied 14 and 12 markers, respectively, while Esteves scored 11.<\/p>\n

Omar Ajoste led CHC with 16 points, Anthony Raho added 10 markers , and Sam Fernandez and Adrian Flores finished with 10 points apiece.<\/p>\n

CHC\u2019s loss to the Feds in the playoffs was a far improvement from the 44-point humbling it suffered against the same team on Oct. 15, 88-44.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the first game, Edwin Camacho and Trevor Ogumoro were at the forefront of DPS\u2019 balanced scoring attack in beating DCCA.<\/p>\n

DPS held DCCA to 13 points in the first half to enjoy an early double-digit lead and was hardly threatened after that.<\/p>\n

Camacho and Ogumoro scattered 11 points each, while Suane Pua and Maverick Saures made 7 markers apiece. Six other DPS players scored 2 or more points.<\/p>\n

Perry Inos finished with a game-high 21 points, while Tim Wesley chipped in 11, but they failed to get the needed scoring support from the rest of the team.<\/p>\n
