Cavaliers, Magis in UNTV finals

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Cavaliers outlasted the NHA Home Masters, 81-74, in sudden death and advanced to the finals of the 9th UNTV Cup last Sunday at the Paco Arena in Manila.

Mark Salupado shone brightest for the three-time champions, coming through with clutch plays in the pivotal period to help take the fight out of the stubborn Home Masters and arrange a title clash with the Judiciary Magis.

Game 1 of the best-of-three title series is set tomorrow at the Novadeci Convention Center in Quezon City.

The chosen charity of the winning team in the event organized by Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International CEO and president Daniel Razon will earn a tax-free P3 million top prize.

In the Executive Face-Off match, the PNP Responders beat the Judiciary Magis, 86-78.

Five AFP players tallied in double figures with Darwin Cordero finishing with 21 points and 13 boards while Salupado contributed 10 points and six rebounds apart from the hustle he provided that led to several vital baskets down the stretch.
