1Munti used its manpower advantage to the hilt in dumping JT Bulacan, 84-73, to get back in the hunt for a playoff berth in the PSL President’s Cup at the San Andres Sports Complex just recently.
The Taipans showed up minus coaches Egay Macaraya and Bong Ramos and several other key players like Jonathan Gesalem, Jasn Ballesteros and Itchie Altamirano among others, an opportunity which was seized quickly by 1Munti, which drew an explosive performance from Kenette Balbuena.
Balbuena scattered a career-high 29 points to lead 1Munti’s rampage.
1Munti improved its win-loss record to 9-6 while dealing JT Bulacan its eighth loss in 14 games.
Mark Sarangay also stepped up big for 1Munti as he finished with 17 markers, including three straight three-point baskets in the second period that allowed his team to create some separation.
