Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop and Save More players battle for the rebound during the second quarter of their game in the UFO\/IT&E caging last Saturday at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium. (Roselyn B. Monroyo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop\/NMBA and 8th Division\/MAFEA bounced back from their debut losses after downing separate foes in the 2016 UFO\/IT&E Inter-Organizational Basketball League last Saturday night at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop, which fell to Best Sunshine International-Blue Eagle in its first game, made it to the win column following a 91-70 rout of Save More\/MIFICPA (1-1) in the second game last weekend. In the curtain-raiser, 8th Division, which bowed to Ali\u2019i Blue Haus\/Bayani in the league opener, pulled off a 61-55 victory against Cavite.<\/p>\n

Kelvin Fitial top-scored for 8th Division, firing 15 points, including the 7 of the team\u2019s last 9 points. His three straight field goals down the stretch gave 8th Division cushion. Jun Alipio, who missed 8th Division\u2019s debut game, also finished in twin digits, registering 10 points, 6 of them came in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Dan Barcinas had 22 points on a losing effort for Cavite, which played without gunner Preston Basa. With its No. 1 scorer in the last game out, Cavite, which had 15 triples in its 99-76 rout of PC Bargain last week, knocked in only three shots from the parking lot.<\/p>\n

In the second match, Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop was on target from downtown to lead Save More from start to finish.<\/p>\n

James Abuy came out smoking early in the game, drilling five triples, while Jack Aranda added one as Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop built a 27-16 advantage after the first period.<\/p>\n

Save More cut the deficit to single digit at the break, 41-48, behind the combined efforts of Sid Quan and Rolly Paraiso. However, Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop regained its shooting touch in the third canto to reclaim the double-digit spread, 76-59. Bogs Dayrit converted two triples and Taj Van Buren chipped in one, while Aranda and Michael Espinosa teamed up for 11 points in Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop\u2019s 28-18 scoring in the third.<\/p>\n

With its big lead, Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop\u2019s starters took a breather in the fourth and let their bench finished the game. Arnold Arellano, who came to play late in the third, capped Stephen\u2019s Pawnshop\u2019s long-game domination of Save More, scoring 8 of the team\u2019s 15 markers in the final canto.<\/p>\n
