PNP Responders, OP Execs triumph

MANILA, Philippines — The PNP Responders and the Office of the President Executives downed their respective rivals to jumpstart their bids in the UNTV Executive Face-Off last Sunday at the Novadeci Convention Center, QC.

Banking heavily on the torrid shooting of Joel de Mesa, the Responders demolished the Ombudsman Graftbusters, 70-54, in the side event of the 9th UNTV Cup for players 40 years old and above. De Mesa scattered 22 points to go with seven rebounds and seven assists to claim the Player of the Game award.

The Executives, on the other hand, clobbered the GSIS Furies, 98-54, behind a well-balanced attack with Franz Alvarez leading the way.
