BBC had five men scoring in double figures for 55 points but were outscored by the Huskies 35-24 in the first canto and 48-35 at the half.

A 29-17 spurt in the third quarter gave Bing Soyao's charges a 25-point cushion at 77-52 and were never threatened.

BUSG took game 1 of the best-of-three final series, 85-72, on November 19 as Sammy Dave Belangel topscored with 20 markers hitting 5 triples, Dagol Flores added 15, Chan 14 and Celis 11.

That game was close as BBC trailed by two in the opening quarter, 15-17. The Huskies, coaches by Melvin Baclay and Nonoy cordova, pulled away in the second with a 26-10 surge taking the half, 43-35.

Tony Agustin's wards waged a last ditch effort outscoring BUSG 49-42 in the final half but it was not enough to reverse the outcome.

The Huskies received a championship trophy plus one lechon, which will be delivered on December 5 in time for the BUSG induction, victory and Christmas party at Apollo Restaurant.

In the LNA7 50-above category, YBAC remained on top with an emphatic 132-81 win over BUSG as Haba (Hinigaran Amateur Basketball Association) beat Mono (Monico-Novero Team) 79-72 on Sunday.

Boy doble drilled in 22 and Melvin Baclay scattered 15 points but the Huskies were dominated in the paint by Gingging Gaylo, Nedlson Sedillo, and Mario Reyes.

BUSG's lead in the first two quarters was easily erased as Boboy Jose and Joel Marquez controlled the tempo of the game employing their dreaded full court press.

On Saturday, Neproac demolished BUS Group, 95-72, as the Huskies missed the services of their reinforcement from the Dumaguete Professionals. Toto Chong hit 28 points, Nonoy Villarino 15, and Kid Magay had 14 for Neproac.

Baclay drilled in 7 triples for 23 points, Nonoy Cordova scattered 17 on putbacks and Moises Padilla contributed 11 for the Huskies, which could only lead for two quarters but were outclassed in the final half. (Henry G. Doble)
