KCS Computer Specialist-Mandaue City put on a shooting display in its 82-71 victory over a nine-man Tabogon side in the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup on Wednesday at the Alcantara Civic Center in Cebu.
It was Mandaue City second straight win, and seventh in nine outinga, as they cruised toward the semifinals as guaranteed No. 2 seeds.
Down 23-25 early in the second period, Mandaue City quickly went on a three-point shooting spree, making six in a row in a scorching 26-2 scoring tear that vaulted them to 49-29 at half time.
Steve Castro came off the bench and gave Mandaue City a lift with two triples while Gryann Mendoza, Gileant Delator and Phil Mercader accounted for four treys in the game-changing rally.
“It’s about time that Steve Castro gets his breakout game since he is the most consistent who always gives quality minutes for the team,” Mandaue City Assistant Coach Jabby Bautista said.
Mandaue City made 10 three-pointers in the first half.
Mandaue City led by as many as 29, 61-32, but Tabogon fought back in the fourth quarter and trimmed the deficit to 62-69 on a three-point play by Richmond Bersabal.
But Mandaue City was unfazed and responded behind Mendoza, Castro and Delator to bring their lead back to 13, 75-62, with three minutes left.
Mendoza led Mandaue City with 19 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals while Castro played the best game of his pro career so far with 16 points, two rebounds and three steals.
