Banahaw dropped to a 2-1 slate. In the Bracket A match, Team Pogi downed AD-31, 82-70, for its second win in three games. AD-31 fell to a 1-3 card.<\/p>\n<p>The trio of Jack Aranda, Niko Salem, and Melvin Cadiang made life difficult for Banahaw Restaurant, as they combined for 63 big points. Aranda nailed a game-high 27 points, including 15 from downtown, while Salem and Cadiang added 21 and 15, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The Fastbreakers led from start to finish and was only threatened in the third period when its nine-point halftime lead was trimmed to three, 49-62. Julius Tabamo brought Banahaw back in the game in the third, unloading eight of his 17 points in that period. After being outscored in the first two quarters, 14-21, 17-19, Banahaw outgunned the Fastbreakers in the third, 18-13.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Fastbreakers kept the driver&#8217;s seat in the fourth behind the 10 and 8 points of Salem and Aranda, respectively. Cadiang chipped in 5 in the payoff canto.<\/p>\n<p>In the curtain-raiser, Team Pogi hit timely treys in the third and escaped with fastbreak layups in the fourth quarter to beat AD-31.<\/p>\n<p>The AD-31 and Team Pogi tiff was pretty even with the match tied after the first, 15-all, and the latter ahead by only three at the break, 32-29.<\/p>\n<p>Then at the start of the second half, there was a seesaw battle with Team Pogi managing to stay in front, 52-49, after scoring 12 of its last 14 points from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<p>It was still a close game in the fourth period and Team Pogi was only on top by 4 points, 73-69, entering the final 2:30 minutes of the match before Jason Bahillo completed a 3-point fastbreak play and Harold Aranda hit back-to-back uncontested layups to close the deal, 79-69.<\/p>\n<p>Harold Aranda paced Team Pogi with 14 points, while Erlan Lansang and Jeff Bahillo contributed 13 and 12, respectively, and Jason Bahillo made 10 for a balance scoring. Rod Sacramento and Lester Vertudez logged 18 each for AD-31, while Baldo Lavarias also scored double figures (13), but was held to one field goal in the fourth period.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, Friday&#8217;s games were rained-out and will be rescheduled on a later date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Team Pogi 82 &#8211; H.
