Krispy Team enters finals, downs OGs in OT

Krispy Team will enter the APCRAA Basketball Tournament Finals for the fourth straight time as they defeated Stage One OGs in OG during Game 2 of their semifinals series in overtime, 85-82, on Saturday, August 24 at the APC Gymnasium.

Krispy Team maintained their undefeated streak of 10 wins, dating back from Game 2 of Season 7 finals against Richmond Oilers. They will also have the chance to defend their championship as they wait for the winner of the Oilers-Knights semis series, which will be played on August 31.

In maybe one of the best games this season, Krispy Team overcame a Stage One OGs lead, which rose by as much as 14 points in the first half, and forced overtime thanks to a Brix Estabillo basket, tying the game at 72-all. In the extension period, Krispy Team got the lead for the first time since the 1st quarter.

In the dying seconds of overtime, the OGs had a chance to regain the lead after Pepe Canseco got a rebound from a missed shot by JV Reyes. JP Redelick attacked the basket but was clobbered by the Krispy Team defense. Estabillo got the rebound in the mixup and drove a fastbreak layup, sealing the win for Krispy Team.

Estabillo finished the game with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Alex Tagle and Guess dela Cuesta contributed 18 and 12 points respectively.

For the Stage One OGs, Genesis Reyes had a career high of 34 points and 15 rebounds. Sean Montemayor added 19 points for the OGs cause while JP Redelick had 13 points with 5 assists.
