    Sep 30, 2019

    MALACANANG-Philippine Sports Commission pulled off another come-from-behind win, nipping National Housing Authority (NHA), 77-76, in Group II elims of the 8th UNTV Cup held over the weekend at the Pasig City Sports Center.

    Eric dela Cuesta led the Kamao with 19 points while Joseph Roque and Ian Garrido combined for 29 points as they helped negate the 34-point explosion of Alvin Vitug.

    The Benneth Palad-mentored NHA slipped to 1-1.

    Judiciary bounced back from a 64-60 defeat to the Kamao by downing the GSIS Furies, 88-74, in the other Group II match.

    Haddi Porto and Louis Lopez scored 22 points each in leading the Philippine International Trading Corporation to a 95-74 win over Philhealth in Group I play.

    PITC’s win was its first in two games while handing the PhilHealth Plus their second straight in the tournament for public servants.

    Former Ginebra player Chester Tolomia led the Judiciary Magis with 24 points but it was Frederick Salamat who turned the game around in their favor, draining five triples on the way to 19 points.
