ACCIONA Hammers PitBull, 86-82, Gains Finals Slot!

For the third time, Acciona intensified its mastery over Pit Bull, 86-82, in the deciding match to face the idling RFC in the Finals. The result is easier to expect since Acciona led the series, 2-0, between these two teams before the rubbermatch. However, the real stories turned out different.

Acciona who fielded-in its first five that give usual headaches to Pit Bull starters, were no answer to rampaging Pit Bulls. Pit Bull led all the way, 10-9 1st quarter, 33-26 2nd quarter and extended their lead to 14 points after the third quarter 58-44. However, crucial turnovers in inbound plays in the backcourt rattled Pit Bull and cost them the game in the fourth quarter. It became Acciona’s key to comeback in the game and pulled off a big win.

ITAAS Puts on Masterful Show on Noypi Basketball Summer League in Hong Kong

Tsing Yi Sports Centre (HK) August 1, 2007

That was a masterful performance from Francis Itaas (jersey no. 88) last Wed night @ Tsing Yi Sports Centre. No other way to put it. Itaas put the RFC team on his back, simplified the game offensively for his teammates and himself, and allowed RFC’s stellar defense to take care of the rest. Itaas ability to make life easier on himself
and his teammates offensively cannot be overstated. He attacked the defense on top of the key, with a few fakes and pivotal move, and had the Acciona defense on its heels more than it liked.
