UGA rules Oro’s Frisbee tourney
ILIGAN City’s Ultimate Green Archers (UGA) ruled the Cagayan de Oro Ultimate Players Association (COUPA) beach Frisbee tournament on Sunday at Jesper Beach in Barangay Bonbon.
This, after the Green Archers defeated Cagayan de Oro’s top bet Ateneo Blue Ultimate (ABU), 13-8 in the final.
Jigze Rafisura, also a basketball forward for the Xavier University Crusaders, pulled a game-high 4 points along with a single assist and a block. While Elka Corporal gave 3 points and 2 assists for UGA’s titular win which also had Jok-Jok Pacana and Tan-Tan Ermac each contributing 4 assists and 2 points.
The Green Archers finished the elimination round with a perfect 10-0 record including their 9-6 triumph over Ateneo Blue in the first round.
Marianne Casinillo scored 3 points and a block for ABU’s losing cause as Harry Jones Chaves dished out 3 assists.
On the way to the final, UGA pulled a 9-8 thriller against Iligan compatriot Gecko in the semifinals.
Both went to a 8-8 tie
FINALLY playing its role to the hilt as the heavy favorite, Golden State stroked a 122103 rout of Cleveland yesterday for a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals.
This time, it had nothing of “the thief in the night” stuff as had happened in Golden State’s 124-114 overtime win in Game 1, when the Warriors leaned on Cav J.R. Smith’s major blunder in regulation to win.
Stephen Curry starred anew with nine mostly magnificent threes.
The heart and soul of the Warriors finished with 33 points, 16 of those in the final quarter where the two-time MVP fired five triples in the frame’s first seven minutes.
Curry even completed a rare four-point play on a Kevin Love foul while burying his eighth triple, giving Golden State a 109-93 lead 5:27 remaining in the game.
At the 5:15 mark, Curry even issued a jaw-dropping assist in a give-and-go play completed by Kevin Durant for a 111-93 Warriors bubble.
And with that, you think Curry was done for the day? Wrong. Curry would bang home another three— his ninth, giving GSW a 21-point, 114-93 margin.
That’s when Cleveland coach Ty Lue decided to throw in the towel, pulling out all his stars led by LeBron James (29 points, 9 rebounds, 13 assists) even as there were still about four minutes left in the game.
