Cruz Amigos trounces SFG in Amicis hoopla

CEBU, Philippines —  Cruz Amigos unleashed a nearly flawless offensive from start to finish on the way to decimate the SFG squad, 79-51, in the 29 Under category of the 1st Amicis Basketball League (ABL) season at the Conspolacion Sports Complex.

Glenn Maghinay filled the stats sheet with 22 points, 11 rebounds and three assists while Junrey Tundag added 13 points and seven rebounds as the Cruz Amigos of team owner and playing coach Atty. Eric Cruz evened their record to 2-2.

Dominic Sarsalejo chipped in 11 markers on top of six rebounds and four assists for the Cruz Amigos, which completely dominated the match since sprinting to a hot 21-9 start.

The outcome was already a foregone conclusion when Cruz Amigos stretched its lead to 24 points at halftime, 44-20. Cruz Amigos kept on pounding the hapless SFG the rest of the way to come up with a 28-point blowout.

Chris Ariel cashed in 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while Noe Martinez tossed in 10 points, seven rebounds and six assists but to no avail as SFG stayed winless in five starts.
