DENR sweeps Group B elims

MANILA, Philippines — Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) continued its hot streak, claiming the scalp of National Housing Authority, 87-84, to complete a sweep of the Group B elims in the 8th UNTV Cup held recently at the Pasig City Sports Center.

Paul Parreno outshone five DENR players who scored in doubles figures as he knocked in the buzzer-beating trey that shattered a 77-77 count as the Warriors notched their fifth straight win in the annual tournament for public servants.

Ed Rivera scattered 17 points to lead a well-balanced DENR attack while Melvin Bangal and Archie Gamboa added 15 points each and Des Ayson and Ryan Abanes combined for 21 points.
