YMCA (AP) - Dexter Sze gave Quackies something to celebrate before leaving for Vigan for good.
Dexter Quackies rolled past RBK Cobras 130-124 behind Jigger's career night and making Sze's farewell game more eventful. Snapping a 3 game skid without Johen Sy, Quackies leaned on Jiger and Dexter Sze as the duo frustrated Cobras, dispatching any rallies set by Cobras. "We know once we got the big lead in the first half, it won't last long since they're top gunners aren't performing to the level we know they can. It turns out we were right and luckily we were able to fend off their multiply rally attempts." Kaw said.
Leading 60-42 in the first half, Cobras went to work. Ben Lim and Michael Kent, reviving the "Great Wall of China" duo days, started the rally. Lim scoring 20 of his 37 points in the payoff period while Kent complementing 25 of his 36 points that got Cobras rolling. Trailing 82-62, Kent and Lim started a furious rally that saw the 20 point deficit shrink to 6 points in the final 2 minutes of the game, 124-118. Off-setting the injury of Arnold Tsai, Peewa dominated the rebounds and intense interior defense that held Quackies scoreless for 3 minutes. "We're just started slow, that made the lead insurmountable. We're able to cut down the lead but in the end, we ran out of gas." Kent said.
Dexter Sze, who will be leaving for Vigan this Tuesday, played like there's tomorrow. Playing leech-like defense on the hottest player of Cobras, Kent, Sze also scored 20 points but mosre importantly, holding down Kent to 9/20 shooting, his first game with 20 or more attempts. "We're just trying to pressure him. He added dimension to his game and there's no better way than to limit him is to play man to man defense with our best defender." Kaw said.
But it was PotPot and Jigger putting the finishing kicks for Quackies.
"We're doing fine. We just have to start strong. This game, we dug ourselves in a hole. They played great without Johen Sy. We'll be fine." Kent said.
Notes: When Arnold Tsai was injured, 3 of his closest friends namely Kent, Djangs and Lim were seen smiling. It was only revealed than Chan was laughing out loud. Quackies's kaw, who ran earlier morning at Century Tuna Fun run, played and nailed a key 3-pointer to put the game out of reach.
