FIL-SINO CAGEFEST
JSY Transport beats
Sweet Crystal, 91-83
BY NIDA BUENAFE
Sidney Chua scored 20 points while Ritchie Militante delivered 19 as JSY Transport notched its first win at the expense of Sweet Crystal, 91-83, in their recent tussle in Fil-Sino All Asian Countertrade Inc. Inter-Color Basketball Tournament at Tay Tung gym.
Posting a two-digit lead in the first quarter behind Chua’s inspired performance, the transport guys almost squandered their advantage as Frederick Ong and Ricky Chua combined forces for Sweet Crystal to even the score at 48-all at halftime.
In the third quarter, JSY exploited its height advantage and with Militante displaying his all-around game, led a 35-13 third quarter breakaway to restore the lead on their side.
