(ROSELYN B. MONROYO)<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Bandits snapped their two-game losing skid after topping Pogi Problems, 81-71, in the nightcap in the 2013 DLX\/IT&E Invitational Basketball League last Monday at the Gualo Rai Basketball Court.<\/p>\n

The Bandits got off to a strong start for an early double-digit lead and never looked back to enter the win column after losing their first two games. Pogi Problems dropped to a 1-2 slate.<\/p>\n

J.R. Barrios and Angelo Fernando partnered in the Bandits\u2019 early attack, as they scored 6 points each in the first period, lifting their team to a 22-10 advantage. Fernando was still at it in the second canto, escaping with fastbreak layups and adding 8 more markers, as the Bandits kept the twin-digit margin at the break, 42-30.<\/p>\n

Fernando and company then had their biggest lead at 20, 65-45, late in the third period, giving the team the luxury to be a bit complacent in the fourth quarter and allowing Pogi Problems to cut the deficit to a decent number.<\/p>\n

Fernando led the Bandits with his 18 points, while Myler David paced Pogi Problems with his 15 markers.<\/p>\n

In the first game, Gwap Gang reached the century mark en route to whipping Hite, 100-58.<\/p>\n

Gwap Gang improved to a 2-0 record, while Hite remained winless after two games.<\/p>\n

Seven Gwap Gang players scored in double figures in their lopsided win. Gwap Gang set up the route after working out a 22-11 advantage at the end of the first period. The lead ballooned to 17 by halftime, 42-30, as Gwap Gang continued to spread the wealth.<\/p>\n

Gwap Gang then made it a 20-plus margin in the third, as Hite clearly failed to match the former\u2019s firepower. Despite the big lead, Gwap Gang showed no mercy, saving its best for last with a 37-point production in the fourth to almost double up Hite with its 42-point winning margin.<\/p>\n
