Bautista)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Top Development edged McDonald\u2019s, 98-96, in the curtain-raiser in the 2018 JP World Corp. Customer Appreciation Basketball League last Saturday at the Gillette Multipurpose Gymnasium.<\/p>\n<p>TDI battled back from a 42-50 halftime deficit when it regained the lead in the third quarter and then hung on to the driver\u2019s seat in the fourth for the 2-point victory.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Rabasto scored 13 points in the third period to give TDI back the lead, 73-68. TDI fired 31 markers against the 18 of McDonald\u2019s to overhaul its foe\u2019s 8-point advantage at the break. Raymond Velasco added 8, while Darwin Barbo chipped in 6 in the penultimate frame to hand TDI the driver\u2019s seat going into the final canto.<\/p>\n<p>The same trio kept TDI on top, as it combined for 23 of the team\u2019s 25 markers in the fourth frame to withstand McDonald\u2019s rally. McDonald\u2019s fought back behind the 11 points of Jaymark De Guzman, but fell short in the end, as Rabasto delivered TDI\u2019s last 5 points to secure the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Rabasto finished with 26 points, while Velasco top-scored for TDI with his 30. Barbo chipped in 20, while Jerome Reyes added 12. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in the second game, Joeten 1 outclassed MJD Construction, 77-64.<\/p>\n<p>After a close first quarter that ended with Joeten clinging to a 22-21 points lead, it gained more cushion as the game progressed by getting contributions from multiple players.<\/p>\n<p>Ernest Duenas and Chris Lilles led Joeten 1\u2019s balanced offense after scoring 15 apiece. Vince Teregeyo added 13, while Alex Lauron made 12, and K.J. Kabiriel and Patrick Rotap combined for 15.<\/p>\n<p>While Joeten 1 showed team effort on offense, MJD relied heavily on Freddie Pelisamen, who led all scorers with his 31 markers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Game<\/strong><br \/>\nTDI 98\u2014Velasco 30, Rabasto 26, Barbo 20, Reyes 12, Polisco 8, Arreza 2.<br \/>\nMcDonald\u2019s 96\u2014De Guzman 35, Mc.
