Go, Execs beat Lawyers in tune up game

Christopher “Bong” Go and the City Hall Executives beat Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), 115 – 105 in a tune up game Friday night at the Davao City Recreation Center.

The sweet-shooting Go, who was hitting three-pointers from all angles, scattered 32 big points, accounting six shots from behind the arc.

Go’s third triple that capped a 10-0 run midway of the second period gave the Executives their first lead of the ballgame and never looked back for the victory.

Ryan Escuredo chipped in 20 points for the Executives who was thrilling since the opening buzzer until Go hit a three-pointer at the top for a 40 – 39 advantage at the 3:18 mark of the second canto.

The Executives went to scoring spree in the third quarter that ballooned the gap to 22, 86 – 64 going to the pay off period.

But the lawyers staged a huge come back in the final canto behind heroics of Adrian Paguican who scored 15 of his total 24 to bring back the game on the line.

Paguican’s triple put the count at 103- 104 with 2:34 left.

Ryan Alquizar, who had 14 points, made a three point play on the ensuing possession to back up the lead to 4, 107 – 103 and the Executives pulled away for good.

Dante Baguio scored 20 markers for IBP which was up 29 – 17 after the opening period, credited to the excellent quarterbacking of Emilio “Nonot” Dayanghirang.

The Executives had 47 – 43 lead at halftime.
