Ateneo De Manila University shrugged off a slow start to eclipse Indonesia, 89-78, to cop its second straight win in the 40th William Jones Cup yesterday at the Xinzhuang gymnasium in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Playing for fifth straight game in five days, the exhausted Blue Eagles started flat and trailed, 41-44, at the half before turning it up with a blistering 35-18 outburst in the third quarter to run away with a 76-62 lead entering the final canto.
There was no looking back for the Blue Eagles from there as they went on to secure a follow-up victory to their 80-74 win over Japan two days ago.
With the win, Ateneo notched its second win in a row to improve at 3-2 in this prestigious invitational tourney that serves as a warm-up for the Asian Games and Asian Championship.
After struggling to find his mark in the first four games, Gilas Pilipinas cadet Isaac Go finally caught fire, going near perfect from downtown to finish with 21 points in 6-of-7 three point shooting on top of two assist and two steals.
