NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — It took Mighty Sports Apparels a little longer to heat up but the country’s representative to the 38th Williams Jones Cup still won pulling away.
With Fil-Am Jason Brickman leading the show and former PBA imports Al Thornton, Vernon Macklin, and Zach Graham scoring at will from almost all conceivable angles, Mighty Sports pummeled Sacramento State University, 88-69, to stay undefeated in three games at the Xinzhuang gym here.
The win kept the Scratch It Pera-Pera Agad-Agad! and Symarom-backed Mighty Sports on the same level with defending champion Iran at the top of the 9-team tournament.
