MOLDEX OBLITERATES HCG LAZULI FOR 94-63 VICTORY
Exclusive by Epoy Del Rosario.
Moldex rode a strong third quarter as HCG Lazuli returned cold from the halftime break to break away in the second half and secure their first win in the 2008 A.B.U. Corporate Cup 1st Jam.
Lester Ong made up for his absence in his team’s first game to dominate both ends of the floor, as his 32 points, 19 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals squeezed the life out of HCG in the 2nd half. Ong was all over the floor, disrupting HCG’s offensive execution and making plays on the other end, making it easier for his team to put this one away early.
Jeff Uy played a very solid game for Moldex to the tune of 16 points, converting on an array of outside shots and excursions to the basket as he worked well with Leo Mamaradlo, Jeff Gaw and Drew Ambatali to spell Ong.
Mamaradlo collected 14 points and 3 rebounds for Moldex, as Gaw struck for 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals. Ambatali rounded up the solid five for Moldex with a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds with 4 assists.
HCG managed to cut a big 18 point deficit early in the game to come within 4 points at the end of the 1st half, 31-35. They only managed 14 points in the 3rd, though, as Moldex started to put some distance between them by scoring 37 in the period.
BJ Chiu led HCG with 14 points, adding 3 rebounds and 2 assists to his stat line. Jay De Guzman went for 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, while Ronald Motus contributed 11 points and 9 rebounds. Ed Casares scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in his first game back from injury. Randy Go fought early foul trouble and managed 8 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals for HCG.
