PINTADOS DE PASSI BASKETBALL: DPWH continue dominance after crushing Ogtonganons

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

From the Dinagyang basketball cup and now the Pintados tournament, DPWH continues to dominate the local basketball scene.

Team DPWH garnered a drubbing victory against the Ogtonganons, 103-77, in the 1^st Mayor Stephen Palmares Pintados de Passi Open Invitational basketball tournament.

From start to finish, the veteran DPWH squad bullied team Ogtonganons in the paint, man-handling them during post-up situations.

Team Ogtonganons tried to keep up with DPWH’s high-octane offense but were ultimately left in the dust, unable to mount a comeback run in the second half.

Pusoy Arenal led the charge for DPWH as he torched team Ogtonganons with his sweet three-point shooting, chalking up 19 big points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Meanwhile, the XYZ/TOTO-TIA-TEN got the much-needed victory to keep their playoff hopes alive after dismantling PNP, 100-63.

Marvin Cuerbo had a statement game after shooting flat against JKG Mamba, pouring in 29 points against PNP.

The young guns of XYZ/TOTO-TIA-TEN relentlessly look to push the tempo with each possession that made it hard for PNP to keep up.
