IAN Garrido tallied 19 points as Malacanang Kamao kept its record clean last Sunday, crushing the BFP Firefighters, 92-77 in the UNTV Cup at Pasig City Sports Center.
Garrido also had six of eight field goals, seven of seven free throws, six boards, three assists, a steal and a block, making him as the Best Player of the Game and leading the Kamaos to their third straight win in Group A.
The Kamaos made the most out of their height advantage, physical play and balanced offense to douse water on the Firefighters.
Raffy Gonzales mentored the Malacañang team as head coach in lieu of Louie Gonzales, who was not present in their game.
“Talagang pinaghandaan namin ito. Sa huli, ‘di talaga bumitaw ang mga players namin. Talagang ni-run lang namin ang sistema namin”, said Raffy Gonzales.
The Kamaos are expected to have tough match against AFP this Sunday.
The UNTV Cup now on its fifth season gives away more than P12 million to the chosen charities of all 13 participating government teams.
Meanwhile, the NHA Builders made a successful comeback as they carved out a 102-100 squeaker over the HOR Solons.
Season 4 MVP Antonio Lustestica’s triple gave the advantage to NHA, 91-88, with 4 minutes and 15 seconds left in the final period.
