Peched and Ngermid, the two teams that played in the finals of Division I playoffs, have extended their head-to-head collision.
Both teams swept their respective opponents in the semifinal round of the ongoing 2007 NBL Season playoffs to arrange a best-of-five championship series.
Game One will start on Monday.
Peched wrapped-up the best-of-three semifinal series, 2-0, against Meda with a 75-63 victory in Game Two last Wednesday night.
Before that, the Rivals staved off an 84-83 win In Game Two over the Surangel Suns and also swept the best-of three series in the other semifinal encounter.
On Monday, the Rivals defeated the Suns in Game One, 93-72, while Peched defeated Meda, 74-72.
Although the Rivals controlled the tempo of the game most of the time, the Suns took a 30-21 run in the third quarter and even led most in that stretch until the early fourth quarter, the last time at 70-67.
The loss of Andy Johnson, who did not come back in the game after a hard fall, proved too costly for the Suns.
The Rivals rallied back with a 7-0 blast behind set-up plays by Javis Pedro and Olson and three points from the free throw line from Spis Gordon and Bonny for a 78-73 lead.
From the on, the Rivals never looked back.
With the Rivals infront at 84-78, the Suns were able to cut the deficit to just a point capped by a three-pointer by Eric Manio with 48 ticks to go.
In the next play, Ody Yalap missed from three-point range while the Suns after getting the rebound missed one from beyond the arc and a perimeter jumper from Manio before the buzzer sounded.
Javis and Jake led the Rivals with 27 and 26 points while Alvin Soguilon and Andy Johnson had 24 and 23 while Arnold Undecimo added 16 for the Suns.
"We were just lucky to win. We played hard for this win," the Rivals team manager Greg Gordon said after the game.
He said that it’s not going to be easy to play in the finals against Peched, which they beat twice in the elimination round but lost in the Division I finals.
The defending champion Peched established a 17-10 lead in the opening quarter on the way to the easy win over Meda.
Joe Joe Robertsled Peched with 15, Calson Dulei and Sunshine had 14 while Markus added 11.
Coach Ateley Kazuma expressed confidence that they will win their first back to back title.
Most of the players are now with the national team despite only two of the players are going to the Pacific Games in Apia Samoa.
