TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, Nov. 14 (PIA) -- Ginebra didn’t need any miracle comeback or an overtime period to beat Shopinas.com. One brilliant quarter was more than enough.
TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, Nov. 17 (PIA) -–Construction of the farm-to-market road project in Barangay Matampay, Bucana, Lala, this province, will soon facilitate the market access of farmers.
The league’s most popular ball club came through with a huge run in the 2nd quarter, and the Kings glided their way to a convincing 92-79 victory over the Clickers to spring back into the winning track in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup, here, Saturday night of Nov. 11.
The announcement was made after a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony held at the site last Nov. 11.
Well aware of the ability of Shopinas.com to pull off its very first win in the season-opening tournament, Ginebra tore the game apart by heavily outscoring the bottom-dwelling franchise, 33-13, in the 2nd period, and in the process collected its 4rth win in eight games while dealing Shopinas.com its 9th loss in a row.
The project was implemented under the Kapitbisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDDS) program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
That blast the Kings unloaded turned a shaky 20-18 advantage to 53-31 at the halftime break.
Four other towns in Lanao del Norte continue to benefit from the Kalahi-CIDDS program, namely: Kapatagan, Bacolod, Salvador and Sapad.
Ginebra stretched it further to 27 (59-32) on a pair of free throws by Nino Canaleta in the 3rd quarter, and it more or less plucked away the Clickers’ fighting spirit in the Phoenix Fuel-backed match.
“The provincial government is always quick in releasing its counterpart because these are community-driven projects. These are what our people wanted,” Gov. Khalid Dimaporo, who expressed pleasure with the latest project under Kalahi-CIDDS in the coastal town of Lala, said.
In that 2nd period, the Clickers committed six errors and gave away 10 points off turnovers.
Spearheading the implementation of the project is the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) headed by Anabelle Mendez with the assistance of DSWD Region 10.
While this was a victory that gave Ginebra a sweep of its head-to-head duel with Shopinas.com in the elimination round, the result was far from the manner by which the Kings won the 1st encounter, last Oct. 26.
Upon completion, the farm-to-market road will help ease the transportation of cultured crabs from the fish pens to their selling areas.
In that contest, Ginebra trailed by five points with 55.2 seconds left to play in regulation, but somehow conjured a magical comeback to send the game into extra time and eventually won it, 94-90.
In the past, crab farmers used to carry their harvested crabs through the small dikes which normally take an hour to cross on foot just to reach the local market.
Willy Wilson scored 12 points and pulled down nine rebounds, Caneleta had 12 points, and Jay-Jay Helterbrand, fast re-discovering his touch from the long court, added 10 points for the Kings.
Now using the new road, however, farmers can easily reach the town market in less than 15 minutes. (PIO/PIA-1
RJ Jazul led the Clickers with 11 points while Dennis Daa and James Sena contributed 10 apiece.
So miserable were the Clickers that they merely shot 35.8 percent from the field, converting just 29 of their 81 attempts. The Kings had a decent 43 percent clip on 33-of-76 shooting.
The scores: Ginebra (92) - W. Wilson 12, Canaleta 12, Helterbrand 10, Villanueva 9, De Ocampo 9, J. Wilson 9, Caguioa 8, Cervantes 6, Tubid 5, Labagala 5, Cortez 3, Intal 2, Aquino 2.
Shopinas.com (79) - Jazul 11, Daa 10, Sena 10, Mirza 10, Hubalde 7, Sison 5, Duncil 5, Ritualo 5, Menor 5, Espiritu 5, Se 4, Aquino 0, Hermida 0.
Quarterscores: 20-18, 53-31, 72-50, 92-79. (PIO/PIA-10)
