QC five rules Coke Hoopla via a sweep

/ 12:53 AM June 13, 2011

MANILA—Quezon City repeated over Taguig, 104-72, to complete a sweep of the 2nd Coca-Cola Hoopla best-of-three finals before a jubilant hometown crowd over the weekend.

Leon Lazaro and Christopher Villarosa, who took the Most Valuable Player award, combined for 35 points as QC followed up on its 91-84 Game 1 victory at the jampacked Bgy. Libis covered court.

Taguig, which sank 13 triples in the opener, made only five of 14 from beyond the arc. It also flubbed 20 bonus shots.

“This is the product of our long preparation,” said QC mentor Rene Baena, who was named Best Coach. “My expectation is high because we have a deeper bench.”
