Cresta Verde Mountaineers Filipino-style basketball defeats USA BASKETBALL 104-84

USA Arena, Philippines -- With the allstar break looming and both teams are looking to advance in the National Tournament, there is no rest between the two. USA BASKETBALL put a tough act as they open the first quarter leading 28-23.

However, they were stomped in the second quarter as the Mountaineers charged 29-10 to end the half leading 14, 52-38. The Mountaineers continued in the third as they scored 27 compared to USAs 20 leading 21 by then 79-58.

The starters did not play in the fourth led by Benigno Besa's 23 points and 27 rebounds. Frontmate Rhyan Tersol had 12 points and 21 rebounds to compliment him.

From then, Fillmore Sabangan came off the bench scoring 24 points to lead the Mountaineers to a 104-84 victory over USA BASKETBALL.

"Great win! Our team is clicking and their chemistry is working!" GM Nicolo Maro exclaimed.

Uzi Alfasi fired 25 points for USA while Itzik Schum and David Brown chipped in 24 and 23 points respectively. Despite their bad shape, it is very much evident that these guys are 'gunners' as they scored 72 of their 84 points!

The Mountaineers dominated the boards with Besa and Tersol having 20+ rebounds each with 71 compared to USAs 38; same with assists as they passed the ball more with 15 compared to 5 while protecting the rim with 7 blocks compared to none.

The Mountaineers[35] will face Rim Crashers[179] in the National Tournament while USA Basketball[45] will go against EL DE BANYO[182].

Player of the game: B. Besa - 23 points and 27 rebounds.
X-factor: R. Tersol - 12 points and 21 rebounds.
Best player on the losing team: I. Schum - 24 points and 9 rebounds.

Notes:
Benigno Besa gave his all and thought it was enough to secure an allstar spot. However, the Mountaineers felt slighted as he was last in the voting having 13,321 when the results came in after the game.

Despite averaging 19 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block in 39 minutes on 51% shooting, he played 3 fewer league games that may have been a factor in his selection.

Besa was unavailable for comment but he vowed to 'destroy' the league in the coming games. Such strong words from him but with no representative, the Mountaineers will just play each game as if its their last.
