*OT period between USC Law and Free Agents to be played at a later date


Benjo Rodriguez scored a team high 12 points while Mod Gallardo and Sean Lapus took over in the 4th quarter to hold off a stubborn Team Free Agents squad in Day 3 of the Cebu Recreational Basketball League Season 1 tournament. In the second game, Sunday Club leaned on the scoring of Jonas Cuayzon and Mark Manubag who had 14 apiece. With the win, the Angry Birds claimed top spot in the leaderboard.

Team Free Agents scored a league record low for points in a quarter with just 2 points to show in the first quarter(courtesy of Mark Pantonial) and lowest point production in a half with 6. Mark Pantonial caught fire in the 3rd period, scoring 8 of his game-high 13 points but Michael Gumagay missed 2 free throws off a technical foul called on the Angry Birds' Bryan Maranga. Randolf Alegre then led a spirited rally by the Free Agents in the 4th quarter scoring all of his 6 points in the period but Gallardo hit 5 crucial points in the 4th quarter while Lapus used his size well to fish for fouls while going steady at the line. Lapus scored 5 of his 7 points in the 4th quarter. 

In the second game, Manubag and Cuayzon combined for 18 first quarter points to help Team Sunday surge ahead of  T-boyz and never looked back from there. Daniel Edquid and Joel scored a combined output of 9 in the 2nd period to maintain Team Sunday's lead. T-boyz staged a rally in the 3rd canto behind co-captain Wendell Kwan and the debuting Edmund Odulio who combined for 14 points in the period but timely three point bombs from Carl Embalzado and the continued onslaught of Cuayzon kept the T-boyz at bay. Kwan led another spirited T-boyz rally in the 4th scoring 6 points as the T-boyz outscored the Angry Birds 16-10 in the 4th quarter, but the Sunday Club managed the clock and their lead well to prevail in the end. The loss relegated the T-boyz to the bottom of the standings.
