Cebu A.I. Logic nails third straight win in Allied Bank hoop

The Cebu A.I. Logic coasted to its third straight victory in as many games after thrashing Swerte Sa Trece, 84-70, in the 2008 Allied Bank basketball tournament at the Our Lady of Sacred Heart Parish Gym along Escario Street, this city.

Mokie Romo sparkled with 24 points and Jasper Lestino tossed in 21 markers as Cebu A.I. Logic firmed up its grip of the overall lead with an immaculate 3-0 slate. Jerome Lee and Richard Ong chipped in 14 points combined.

Kim Noel paced the unlucky Swerte Sa Trece with 15 points.

In the other game, Cebu Diamond Auto Supply demolished Talamban Housing, 59-38, in the league’s most lopsided victory, so far. Rey Valiste scored 12 followed by Sunggahid with 11 for the Auto Suppliers, who jumped to solo second place with a 2-1 win-loss record.

Lester Caballes had 11 points but went home on a pensive mood as Talamban Housing suffered its second setback in three starts.
