Go ignites, Executives force Game 7

Intense game took place on Friday night as the Executives escaped from the brink of defeat and forced a Game 7 in the Executive-Legislative Basketball Tournament Season 14 at the Davao City Recreation Center.
So intense it was as Game 6 ended in double overtime and the Executives tied the series at 3-3, via a 119-118 victory, bouncing from the 105-112 setback in Game 5.
City Sports Coordinator Christopher “Bong” Go scored nine straight points including a clutch three-pointer in the second extra period that set the tone and crushed the fighting hearts of the Legislators.
The Legislators could have wrapped up the game and annexed the Season 14 crown but Go and the Executives fought as if there was no tomorrow.
The Legislators outscored the Executives in the second half with Aldrin Casado leading the scoring charge by canning in 13 of his 25 points but Go and Ariel Bonleon quickly responded to catch up with their rivals.
“I think I just lucky with my shots. But we expect the Legislators to fight back, very hard, in Game 7,” said Go.

The scores:
Executives (119)- B.Go 34, Bonleon 28, Alquizar 22, Gadiano 22, Labor 6, Escorido 4, Acojedo 2, Caminade 1, Abasolo 0, Mondigo 0.
Legislators (118)- Casado 25, Villaver 20, Plarisan 18, Araneta 16, Casan 14, Mahipus 9, Abellera 8, Bredol 4, Pacayra 2, Estomata 2, Acero 0, Pahamutang 0, Yamit 0, Apostol 0.
