SAN JUAN, MM--JRU gets back on track.
Teytey
Teodoro buried a clutch jumper with 5.3 seconds left to lift the Heavy Bombers
to a win over the gallant fight of the EAC Generals, 60-59, at the FilOil
Flying V Centre on Thursday.
The
H-Bombers showed signs of pulling away at the start after leading by as much as
11 and ending the 1st quarter with a 19-10 lead.
But the
Generals would not acquiesce to letting their guard down as they turned the
battle to a complete toss up. Hamadou Laminou tallied a total of 6 blocks in
the 1st half and led the charge for EAC to snatch the lead at the break, 30-29.
The seesaw
battle continued to end the 3rd quarter, 45-44, with JRU getting back the lead.
The
dogfight lasted for good with the Generals falling short of a play.
Francis
Munsayac had the chance of redemption after putting the Generals ahead with 11
seconds remaining.
The celebration, however, was immediately gone through the
smokes as Teodoro hits the basket sent them all back to earth.
The loss
extends the fiasco for EAC, which has now dropped its fourth straight game.
JRU, on the
other hand, goes into the middle of the standings with a 2-3 record.
Teodoro had
21 points, while unsung hero Mark Cruz contributed 14 for the Heavy Bombers.
Laminou put
in 14 markers, 14 rebounds, and eight blocks for the Generals. Sidney Onwubere had
18 points and 19 boards.
