By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

Shooting 4 out 5 from downtown, Juan Gomez de Liaño played his best game with Mighty Sports PH carrying them to their third straight win against ES Rades Tunisia, 84-66.

The waxing hot GDL torched the team from Tunisia as he just couldn’t seem to miss and was unconscious offensively.

Producing two low-scoring games in their past two games, the UP Fighting Maroon star switched gears and was lights out the moment he was called by coach Charles Tiu for a substitution.

Co-collegiate teammate Thirdy Ravena from the Ateneo Blue Eagles also had a solid outing after playing consistent suffocating defense while chipping in 8 points, 2 dimes, and 2 interceptions.

This was Mighty Sports’ biggest win of the tournament so far after getting their first two victories with just single-digit leads.

Mighty Sports iconic duo in Andray Blatche and Renaldo Balkman kept their consistent numbers after contributing 18 markers apiece.

The win boosted the squad with their hopes of clinching the Dubai Invitational title seating at the number one spot with a 3-0 record.
