Davies Paints sweeps Amchels to wrest Don Bosco Cup crown

CEBU, Philippines - In an amazing display of sheer guts, Davies Paints overhauled a 22-point deficit at halftime on the way to complete a two-game sweep of Amchels, 85-82, and clinch the championship of the Bosconian Basketball Club's Don Bosco Cup 2013 last Sunday at the Don Bosco Technology Center (DBTC) gym in Brgy. Punta Princesa, this city.

Celso Colegado powered his way to a 27-point finish, paving the way to him to claim his second straight MVP award.

Davies Paints was down by a mile at the break, 28-50, but outpointed Amchels in the third period, 26-17, before closing the match with a devastating 31-15 bomb to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Kenneth Kern Sesante topscored with 20 points for Amchels, who shook their heads in disbelief after seeing their chance of forging a rubbermatch vanish in thin air.

The Painters' successful campaign was made possible through the all-out support of Davies Paints business development officer Richy Tan and business development manager Armando Guevarra.— EBV (FREEMAN)
