Go delivers anew for Execs’ 6th win

- RICO JHONE BILIRAN

CITY Hall Executives constantly went to Christophe­r “Bong” Go when the game is on the line and the clutch sweet-shooting guard never upset his team thus far.

Go hit a top left corner key jumper in crunch time to lift the Executives past Everbull Columbia, 82-81, in Game 6 of their basketball friendly series at the Almendras Gym Davao City Recreation Center.

The executive assistant of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte wrapped the game up with 40 points, including the go ahead basket, 82-79, that came after unproduc- tive exchange down the stretch.

Beanpole forward Eugene Labor chippedin 13 markers for the Executives who extended their winning streak to six games.

Everbull Columbia remained win-less in the series, falling short again despite four of its players finished the game with double digits and got a boost from the bench.

Rico Kwan Tiu continued to pour big numbers for Everbull Columbia, racking up 19 points. He had 26 in the last outing.

Marandang and Ma- catabog made 19 and 15 points, respective­ly, as Earl Angsinco had 11.

Both teams engaged in tough battle all throughout and Everbull Columbia was on a right track to taste its first win entering the final two minutes of the match.

But Go took charge down the stretch, delivering the big blows capped with the go-ahead jumper that foiled Everbull Columbia.

Glen Escandor and Michael Peloton had nine points apiece for the Executives.
