Chris Bitoon provided the spark as Nueva Ecija completed a sweet sweep of Pasay City with a 71-62 victory in Game 2 of their best-of-three North quarterfinals series in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League playoffs on Monday, Oct. 16, at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.Bitoon poured nine of his 16 points in the second frame where the Rice Vanguards established a double-digit spread before fending off several comeback attempts from the Voyagers.
“We expected that it's going to be physical. I even reminded the boys to play hard and physical but not dirty. It was really a physical game. It was a low scoring ball game. The defense is more intense compared to eliminations, ganyan naman lagi sa playoffs. Both teams will play physical and tough defense,” said head coach Jerson Cabiltes.
