The Public School System bumped off the Commonwealth Health Center and now sits on top of the standings of the 2006 Inter-Government Basketball League.<\/p>\n
PSS was on fire and handed CHC just its second loss of the season, 92-64.<\/p>\n
After dominating the first quarter for a 22-9 lead, PSS made things worse for their opponents as they lit up the scoreboard for 28 points, while limiting CHC to just three field goals for a commanding 35-point halftime lead, 50-15.<\/p>\n
CHC finally broke out of its scoring slump and was able to match PSS point for point in the third quarter. Despite the improvement, CHC was still in a big hole as they headed into the final period still down by a mile, 32-67.<\/p>\n
It was cruise control from there and PSS finally settled with the 28-point victory margin.<\/p>\n
Taj Van Buren led PSS with 21 points, while Gary Lashley and guard Lawrence Buniag supported him with 20 and 17 points.<\/p>\n
Tony Raho and Frank Iglecias paced CHC with 16 and 10 points.<\/p>\n
In the second game, Procurement and Supply broke into the win column with a 107-78 victory over Department of Public Works.<\/p>\n
Edgar Pangilinan was a pleasant surprise as he exploded for 43 points. He pumped in 16 points in the opening quarter to spearhead a 28-14 P&S attack.<\/p>\n
After slowing down a bit in the second, Pangilinan went back to his scoring spree as he added 10 points in each of the final two periods.<\/p>\n
Mike Guerrero and Ray Takai chipped in 21 and 19 points, while Mike Muna added 12 points for P&S.<\/p>\n
