Ace Hardware and Mobil\/JP World earned their second straight win after prevailing in their respective games in the 2016 Emon Lodge No. 179 Brotherhood\/IT&E Basketball League last Sunday at the Civic Center Basketball Court.<\/p>\n

Mobil\/JP World, which won the league\u2019s opener last Jan. 3 with a 94-74 rout of MJD Enterprises, made it two in a row following an 85-76 triumph against Shirley\u2019s Coffee Shop (1-1) in last weekend\u2019s curtain-raiser. Ace Hardware also moved up to a 2-0 mark to join Mobil\/JP World in the early lead after whipping GPPC (1-1), 82-55, in the second match.<\/p>\n

Both Ace Hardware and Mobil\/JP World played better in the second half to cruise to victory.<\/p>\n

Ace Hardware was only up by 8 at halftime, 38-30, before taking a baker\u2019s dozen lead after the third period, 55-42. Sidney Quan led Ace\u2019s third-quarter assault, scoring 8 straight markers midway in that period.<\/p>\n

Then in the final canto, Jethro Cruz closed out for Ace, knocking in the team\u2019s last 8 markers, including a banked triple in the closing seconds of the match.<\/p>\n

Cruz went on to top-score for Ace Hardware with his 19 points. Four other Ace Hardware players finished in double figures with Don Brennan adding 15, Quan chipping in 14, and Daniel Camacho and Keoni Chariton contributing 10 apiece.<\/p>\n

Randy Mungcal paced GPPC with his 20 markers.<\/p>\n

In the first game, Mobil\/JP turned a 47-35 halftime edge to a 70-56 advantage , thanks to Elgene Mangali\u2019s 9 markers and ample support from his teammates in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

Shirley\u2019s behind Rabasto\u2019s triples managed to cut the deficit to single digit in the fourth period, but still fell short in the end as Ignacio Borja and Lerio Pagarao delivered timely baskets for Mobil\/JP World to keep their safe distance.<\/p>\n
