Jacob\u2019s Bakeshop & Barbecue nipped OG Rollers as the NMI Rollers Basketball Association\u2019s Inaugural NMI Rollers Men\u2019s Basketball Tournament continued Saturday at the Koblerville Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

Coach Edong Echavez\u2019s team trailed 42-40 with around a minute to go in the second game of the scheduled four-set that playdate. However, Rollers OG failed to score to rest of the way and Jacob\u2019s Bakeshop closed on a 3-0 endgame run all on free throws from Isaac Perez.<\/p>\n

The loss eliminated OG Rollers from further action in the open men\u2019s tournament, while Jacob\u2019s Bakeshop got to live another day.<\/p>\n

Jacob\u2019s Bakeshop took the bull by the horns early and erected an 8-point lead in the first half, thanks to the 7 points of forward D.J. Ong. OG Rollers rallied like there was no tomorrow in the second half with Eman Feria knocking shot after shot.<\/p>\n

Both teams were in a dogfight late in game until Jacob\u2019s Bakeshop caught a break when OG Rollers, who were already in the penalty, fouled Perez twice. Perez didn\u2019t disappoint, going 75% from the stripe to lead his team to the heart-stopping victory.<\/p>\n

No player finished in double figures in the game with center James Kintz pacing Jacob\u2019s Bakeshop with 9 points and 7 rebounds. Renren Gaviola also added 9 points, while Ong chipped in 7 in the win. Feria fired 9 points, while Kya Aldan tossed in 8 more in the loss.<\/p>\n

In the first game, the San Antonio Sixers remained undefeated after torching a listless Pacific Auto side, 40-29. After an 18-18 tie in the first half, the Sixers threw everything but the kitchen sink against Pacific Auto resulting in the 11-point victory.<\/p>\n

National team candidate Jack Aranda was the high-point man in the victory with 14 points, while James Camacho led Pacific Auto\u2019s anemic offense with 7 markers.<\/p>\n

In the third game, GMJ\/IKKI held off a spirited late-game rally by K2 Ballers to prevail 56-53. Elgene Mangali and Joemar Agustin started strong for GMJ\/IKKI as both combined for a dozen points to give their team a 38-28 spread at halftime.<\/p>\n

K2 Ballers, however, wouldn\u2019t go down without a fight and thanks to the 8 points of Dame Deleon Guerrero and 7 points of John Black made a game of it before eventually running out of steam in the end.<\/p>\n

Alvin Fundador and Agustin led GMJ\/IKKI to the win with 8 points apiece, while K2 Ballers\u2019 Black and Deleon Guerrero scored 15 and 13 markers, respectively, in the loss.<\/p>\n

In last game of the day, Marianas Dental also ousted Socho 1 with a 61-48 demolition. After building a 30-20 lead in the first half, Marianas Dental would just add to the double-digit lead in the second half en route to the baker\u2019s dozen victory.<\/p>\n

Jecil Gant scored 18 points and Joseph Torres 12 points in the win, while Mariano Aguon Jr. paced K2 Socho 1 with 12 points.<\/p>\n
