Mandaue gains playoff perks

MANILA, Philippines — KCS Mandaue clinched the second twice-to-beat playoff incentive in the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup after dealing Tubigon Bohol a harsh 80-50 reality check yesterday at the Alcantara Civic Center in Cebu.

Shaq Imperial tallied 15 points and seven boards while Gileant Delator added 13 on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting as Mandaue improved to 6-2 and sealed second spot behind unbeaten Talisay (8-0) nearing the end of the elimination round.

Michole Solera also contributed 10 markers in the Computer Specialists’ repeat win over the Mariners following a 97-71 victory in the first round.

“We just exerted extra hard work, especially on defense,” said Delator.
