Salam Technology came back from behind to register a win over Ashghal in the Inter Company Division game of the Pinoy Basketball of Qatar’s (PIBAQ) 24th Conference recently.
Technology saw Ashghal leading comfortably by 20 points in the first-half as both Carlo Querijero and Ralph Coronel getting their grooves at the offensive end. It was a different story though in the second-half, as Salam Technology felt the urgency and they crawled back from the huge deficit through teamwork and determination as they were trailing by just five points at the end of the third quarter.
Ashghal regrouped and brought back lead to 12 points, but that Salam’s managed to equalise the score with only two minutes remaining in the match. Salam Technology took the lead through Roldan Dela Rosa’s conversion with nine seconds left in the game and later escaped with a 64-63 win. Roldan Dela Rosa led Salam Technology with 15 points while Ralph Coronel paced Ashghal with 19 markers.
In the women’s division, Boom Generals proved just too much for the Balleros to handle as Boom Generals capitalised on their rivals’ lack of ball handlers. Boom Generals employed the full court press right from the world go and forced turnovers.
It was the fine shooting of Tara Mitic and the leadership of Pamela Barrozo which enabled them to lead comfortably the game. In the end, Boom Generals won with a huge margin 77-12 with Pamela Barrozo leading the way with 21 points.
