The Freeman-CDN nips CCTN-47 in overtime

Lemuel P. Maglinte - The Freeman

CEBU, Philippines - The combined forces of  The Freeman and Cebu Daily News (CDN) had to pass through a five-minute extension before egding out the equally-tough CCTN-47, 70-66, in the Newsmen Basketball Association of Cebu (NBAC) 2013 Season yesterday at the Chiang Kai Shek gymnasium of the Cebu Eastern College (CEC).

The Freeman-CDN, thus, will enjoy a twice-to-beat advantage in the semifinals after finishing the elimination round at second place with a 4-1 win-loss record.

CCTN-47 was actually on top by two, 60-58, with just a few seconds remaining in the regulation period, but Jonas Panerio made a footback jumper to send the game into overtime.

In the extra period, the two protagonists again figured in air-tight battle, but a layup by Ador Mayol with 12 seconds left sealed the deal for The Freeman-CDN.

Panerio paced The Freeman-CDN with 25 points. Calvin Cordova chipped in 15 points, while top center Rico Navarro and Lemuel Maglinte combined for 20 markers.

Rodhel Quimod topped CCTN-47 with 25 points followed by Rey Gealon with 19.

In the second game, Sunstar-Bombo Radyo completed the four-team semifinal cast with a 86-66 demolition of against ABS-CBN.
