[Title] => Washington takes charge for Welcoat
[Summary] => Welcoat Paints banked on Jay Washington’s second half explosion as it trounced Montaña Pawnshop, 81-74, yesterday in a duel of fancied teams to remain in the hunt for an outright semifinal berth in the 2005 PBL Unity Cup at the JCSGO Gym in Cubao.
Washington unloaded an eight-point splurge in a run that turned a shaky 37-36 halftime lead to a 57-43 third quarter advantage and then came through again with eight points he capped with two straight triples in the final period to anchor the victory. Washington finished with 27 points.
