The Green Archers dominated the Centro Escolar University Scorpions once again in Game 2 of their best-of-three titular showdown, 96-66, Thursday night, in the process keeping the tournament championship for the third straight year.
The three-peat champions kept the margin after two quarters as the Scorpions continued to struggle with their shots. CEU connected just 33 percent of its field goal in the first quarter and made just five of 23 attempts in the second period for a woeful 21 percent clip. It also became the second team to win three in a row after NLEX, which won four consecutive titles and six overall.
“First of all, I would like to thank the Lord for giving us this championship. We would like to thank the EcoOil management, the coaching staff and the players,” said La Salle assistant coach Gian Nazario.
