A little break from work, is just what the doctor ordered for Secretary Christopher “Bong” Go who is probably one of the busiest man in the planet.
Getting his weekend off from work as the President’s trusted aide, Go put on his basketball sneakers and played like a man possessed.
The sweet-shooting cabinet member torched the hoops with 49 points in leading his team to a back to back wins against IBP, 93-80, in Game 2 of their basketball friendly match on Friday night at the Genesis 88 Gym.
Go displayed his usual voracious appetite for rainbow shots drilling in eight triples for the night.
Those flurry of bombs which came from different spots and with different looks at the basket took the toll on the ambitious bid of the IBP cagers to equalize on their new series.
Michael Peloton provided backup firepower for Go just when the defense collapse on the chief marksman in the see-saw battle against the hard fighting IBP side.
Peloton banked in 10 baskets in a variety of ways for the Go-led squad which beat IBP in their first encounter for the year, 94-86.
Also playing for Go’s squad was Presidential Assistant for Sports Glenn Escandor who played well dishing off assists and setting up Go.
IBP was led by Baguio with 20 points and Paguican with 13.
IBP fought hard and managed to keep within the striking distance behind its fast-pace plays.
But the lawyers fell short to employ a much better perimeter defense that kept them at bay in the end.
Go, who had 42 last game, got off to a hot start and sustained his sharp shooting down the stretch to carry the loads of his team.
Escandor, Warren Cloribel and Eugene Labor also chipped in a combine 25 points for the victory. (With report from Rico Biliran)
