\"Konflikt's\u00a0 Konflikt outlasted Proa, 72-70, on Wednesday as the Garapan Basketball League IT&E Cup season resumed after a weeklong sabbatical at the Garapan Basketball Court.<\/p>\n

Undefeated Konflikt now sits alone in first place in the standings after four games, while Proa’s win-loss record tumbled down to 3-2.<\/p>\n

In the nightcap, Mobil gave Running Rebels its first loss of the season, 84-76, to improve to 2-3.<\/p>\n

In the curtain raiser, Proa’s Pete Iguel caught fire early and drained two 3-pointers for 14 points in the opening 10 minutes that gave his team a 17-14 advantage.<\/p>\n

Konflikt battled back and managed a slim 34-32 advantage at the half.<\/p>\n

Iguel was held in check before taking a seat, while Konflikt’s Dave Sablan provided the spark with seven quick points at the start of the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Konflikt’s Elmer Esdrelon found his mark after the pause and scored eight points to keep his team in front, 50-47, heading into crunch time.<\/p>\n

It went back and forth in a fast-paced fourth period and 11 clutch points from Konflikt’s Jawn Joyner, including a late trey, made the difference when the dust cleared.<\/p>\n

Proa’s Iguel scrambled for 10 points to keep his team within striking distance of Konflikt, but a three-point play by Esdrelon sealed the deal for his team.<\/p>\n

Esdrelon led a well-balanced Konflikt attack with 15 markers, while Iguel carried Proa with 33 points the hard-fought loss.<\/p>\n

In the second match, Mobil built an early 20-14 lead with a mixed effort as six different players scored in the opening period.<\/p>\n

Running Rebels’ Ben Lisua and Trevor Ogumoro teamed up for 16 points in a second quarter rally, but Mobil continued to spread the ball around and led it by a handful, 39-43, at halftime.<\/p>\n

Mobil’s Jun Estolas then buried a pair of long-range field goals for a quick 12 points early in the third quarter to help his team pull away, 63-49, with 10 minutes to go.<\/p>\n

Estolas added 11 more in the fourth period and the Running Rebels were unable to climb out of the hole, despite 12 markers in the clutch by Ogumoro.<\/p>\n

Ogumoro led all scorers with 29 on the short end, while Estolas carried the torch for Mobil with 28.
