CEBU, Philippines – Team Grandeur chalked up its first win in style, demolishing the erstwhile unbeaten Heartfelt squad by 22 points, 86-64, in what is by far the biggest shocker in the F. Llamas Youth Association (FYA) 1st Vice Mayor Mike Rama Cup at the Don Vicente Sotto Memorial Gym in Brgy. Punta Princesa, this city.
Cat-quick playmaker Dondon Cadungog amassed 30 points as Grandeur finally snapped out of its three-game losing streak.
Dodong Cabigas had 17 points for Heartfelt, which was badly crippled playing without its scoring machine Tata Laborte.
Earlier, Orillaville handed the Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau (CIIB) of Police Supt George Ylanan its second loss in four games, 108-105, in the league's first overtime game.
Junbel Llegunas spearheaded Orillaville's triumph with 26 points followed by Ryan Villaver with 19 points. Jay Perez and Kikoy Mauceda chipped in 23 markers combined.
Roy Veloso and Arnel Maglinte carried the offensive load for CIIB with 32 and 27 points, respectively.
