Vizion Insurance are repeat champions as they cleared a lopsided path to victory over Beto, 108-67, in the finals of the Destroyers Basketball Club Friendly Games 2024 Season 2 at the Gillette Multipurpose Gymnasium last Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The game was mismatched from the start, with Vizion growing stronger by the minute. By halftime, they had an overwhelming 51-23 lead. Vizion\u2019s Arnold Sangoyo put up 7 straight points then ended the first half with 17, while Christian Bravo and Alex Robles contributed 12 and eight points each respectively.<\/p>\n

The margin widened in the second half as sharpshooters Sangoyo, Robles, Mii Tekopua, and Bravo kept the baskets coming.<\/p>\n

Hot streaks solidified Vizion\u2019s dominance, with Robles scoring 6 straight, followed later by seven unanswered points.<\/p>\n

As the game neared its end, the \u201cfriendly\u201d nature of the league became clear. With Vizion already dominating, Beto\u2019s team allowed uncontested shots, giving Vizion\u2019s bench free opportunities.<\/p>\n

This inflated Vizion\u2019s lead to 41 points, with Rico Morales sinking 7 markers and Arnold Arboleda adding 3.<\/p>\n

In the end, Robles racked up 30 points with Sangoyo right behind at 27. Tekopua put up 17 markers, while Bravo scored 16.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Jhomer Espinueva and Keith Santos were the only ones in double digits with 22 markers each.<\/p>\n

In the third place match before the finals, Underground won after they beat Velleza in a close matchup, 100-97.<\/p>\n

The MVP was Robles. He said after the awards ceremony, \u201cI just did what I could for our team to win. I distributed the ball but we also talked about having good defense because Beto is a good team. We just did our best as a team and had great teamwork, that\u2019s why we\u2019re champions.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the season, he said, \u201cIt was fun and enjoyable. It was a good league. There were a lot of good teams this season so we also improved our game. We had an addition of Bravo so that\u2019s also why we won.\u201d<\/p>\n
