Warriors, Myrzia’s collide in Cherrylume cagefest finals
THE Mystic Water Philippines Warriors and Myrzia's Online Koleksyon will test each other's mettle when they collide on Tuesday at the Rizal Memorial Colleges (RMC) Fil Oil Flying V for the Cherrylume-backed Basketball Avenue titular showdown.
Mytic Water Philippines, bannered by Assumption College of Davao (ACD) Warriors, earned an outright finals berth after beating the determined Emar Alumni Red Stags 76-68, in a rivalry-renewed semifinals game last Tuesday at the Gaisano Grand Citimall Skygym.
Leonard Salvame came out strong, scoring 20 points in a 10-out-of-12 attempts while teammates Christian Paul Malano and AJ Royo combined for 27 points to seal the win.
The Red Stags, however, leaned on the service of Greggy Delica who sizzled at the paint to complete his 36 points in a losing effort.
Myrzia's Online Koleksyon, on the other hand, arranged a titular showdown against the Warriors after stunning Cherrylume 75-67, in the other semifinals clash.
RB Damaolao drilled in 27 points as Gil Bryan Remonsada chipped in 17 points that left Cherrylume at bay all throughout the game.
Jariues Guinguing and Sherwin Allen Driz canned 18 and 14 buckets, respectively, for Cherrylume that totally ended its bid to reach the finals of the event sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP).
The event bankrolled by Cherrylume, The Royal Mandaya Hotel, Mahugani Security Agency, Davao San EI Trading and the City Government of Davao. ABM
