THE Philippine Amateur Basketball League was in action on Sunday having two feature games with the outstanding players getting a bouquet to give to their mothers for Mother’s Day. The day would begin with the (2–1) Budweiser Kings taking on the (0–3) National Office Supply.
The game would be a close one as Justin Andre led the way for the National Office Supply with 18 points. Andre would get help through Jeff Manalastas who added 14 points, but it would not be enough to dethrone the Kings as they won 61-59.
The Kings move to 3–1 on the season behind the scoring of Tony Borja with 15 points and Derrick Bollinger with 12 points.
The National Office Supply would watch their first win slip away as they fall to 0–4 on the season. In the second game of the day and the first of the two feature games on the day the (2–1) Argent Estates Realty team took on the (3–0) Ace Hardware Aces. The game would live up to the hype going in as the Argent Estates Realty would hand the Aces their first loss of the season winning 95-93.
The game would need extra time to finish this one as they went into overtime.
In overtime Argent Estates’ De Andre Walker would take over and lead his team to the victory. Walker would score a game high 34 points, and would be helped by Jason Johnson who had 32 points.
The Aces were led by JP Cruz with 33 points and Alfred Vitug with 22 points but the Aces would fall. With the win the Argent Estates Realty team moves to 3–1 and the Aces fall to 3–1. Both teams now trail the undefeated Sign By Dey Chargers by one game. The Guam Greyhounds National team also moved to 3–1 on the season as they defeated the Samurai Bombers easily taking the victory 65-38.
