CMO defeats Everball Acer for 17 games in a row

Christopher “Bong” Go piloted the City Mayors Office to unprecedented winning streak – 17 games in a row.
Go scored 33 points with six baskets from behind the arc as the City Hall dribblers defeated Everball Acer, 83 – 75, for 17 straight times in their 2015 Basketball Friendly Series on Friday night at the Davao City Recreation Center Almendras Gym.
Michael Peloton and JR De Guzman contributed 14 and 10 respectively for CMO that won last time in front of a packed PBA crowd at the USEP Gym before Purefoods pulled off a triple OT win over talk N’ Text.
The sweet-shooting trusted aid of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte finished off the Everball with timely baskets in the final stretch that kept the CMO pushing up the gap.
Earl Angsinco scored 19 and three others tallied double digits for Everball that remained winless in the series.
Filbon Maligro put up 18 as Mending and Lucero had 12 and 10 for Everball team which never tasted a win against CMO since second week of December last year.
In total, Everball lost CMO for 20 games in a row including the last three games of the 2014 friendly series.
The game was a bit tougher than expected for the Everball which fell short again in the end like many games in the past in this series.
Everball had a pretty chance to pull away with the elusive win in the last outing before a PBA crowd but miscued in the dying seconds, failing to deliver at the foul line and missing two potential game winning shots.
Go came through with 43 with barrage of three pointers that prompted PBA organizers to pit him against the collegiate’s finest shooters in the Three Point Shootout contest that he eventually won. (Rico Biliran)
