DOHA: Team Power Horse Energy Drink registered another convincing victory over Manila Express Cargo-One Family, 79-72, and remain on top of the standing with 4-1 in the Class A Division of Subaru Cup 2012 of Pinoy Basketball Qatar (PIBAQ) at the Al Gharafa Stadium, recently.
The winning squad had dominated throughout the game and maintained a double-digit lead that came to as high as 16-point edge even as One Family’s Richard Raagas who led his team with 18 points tried to inch closer in the trading of baskets.
It was however the magic duo of Power Horse’s Chris Guerero and Michael Paderes who were in perfect condition to be unstoppable with their rally in converting the baskets and delivering the ball inside and outside from the 10-15 footline.
The counterpart of Mark Anthony Isip and Michael Olino of One Family who unleashed their all-out domination on the board and power slashes, allowed them to create so many chances in the midcourt from the 15 footline.
However such efforts remained futile to close the gap.
In other games in the Division B, Alberto Andalion of Ali Café was slapped with technical foul and was thrown out of the playing area of the hardcourt after he threw invectives at the bench.
Ali Café however still survived another victory over Gilas 3, 85-77, which the latter was eventually eliminated this season.
A no show by Qatar Knights, awarded an advantage for Division B league leaders Natsco Garage who now holds a 6-0 record in this season’s competition.
In other results, IMCO Engineering beat Juan Pinoy, 75-70; CEG International beatFamilia Bisdak, 94-55, KBAS Contracting edged Dukhan Ballers, 65-55 and Flamin’Go beat Mercury Engineering, 62-50.
