PNP keeps slate clean

MANILA, Philippines — PNP Responders kept their unblemished record even as AFP Cavaliers and defending champion Judiciary Magis notched important wins in the UNTV Cup Season 2 last Sunday at Ynares Sports Arena.

Season 1 MVP Olan Omiping fired 23 points while Julius Criste added 13 points and five assists as the Responders routed the LGU Vanguards, 102-72, for their sixth straight win.

LGU’s Ervic Vijandre finished with a game high 24 points but the absence of Francis Adriano hurt the team’s offense as they absorbed their fourth defeat in six outings.

The Cavaliers and the Magis posted contrasting victories to remain at second place with identical 4-1 records.

Ace playmaker Alvin Zuniga had 22 points to power AFP to a 101-82 decision against Senate Defenders.

Former PBA MVP Kenneth Duremdes led the Defenders with 30 makers. In another match, Judiciary beat Malacañang, 83-75.
