MANILA, Philippines — In a preview of potential UAAP contenders, University of the East came from behind and outlasted the DLSU Green Archers in a 60-53 victory in the 2013 FilOil Flying V Premier Cup Saturday, May 25 in San Juan.

Roi Sumang scored 12 points, including 4 in a final minute he capped by hitting a clutch jumper with 18 seconds left to seal the win and deal the Green Archers their first loss in 6 games.

Charles Mammie topscored with 13 markers, including 9 in the third as the Recto squad tied it at 41-all after coming back from as much as 11 down early in the game.

A Gabby Reyes trey cut the gap to only one, 53-54, but proved to be La Salle’s last score as Sumang scored two successive baskets to pull away.

UE extended its winning run to 5 straight after dropping its first two assignments.

The Warriors’ dreaded half-court zone-trap forced the Green Archers to commit 28 turnovers in the game and held King Archer Jeron Teng to only 8 points.

Sumang did not mind playing hurt, saying the game’s more important.

“I’m fine playing even if I’m hurt; we stayed focused and that is why we won,” said Sumang.

Norbert Torres led the Archers with 12 points. – Rappler.com
