Simon Wong and Ferdinand Mendoza combined for 22 points in the second half to lift Team Force to an 89-65 victory over Red Bulls in an exhibition game. Wong, not exactly known as a three point shooting artist, had 12 points all coming from 4 triples, in the second half. Team Force also held Red Bulls top scorer Jake Cortez scoreless in the second half after a tight first half.
Early in the first half, Red Bulls took the lead 9-6 on tree point shot by Cortez. However, Red Bulls was not able to pull away in the first half even with the torrid shooting of Cortez and able support from Joseph Pangilinan and Karl Malicdem. Force players Ferdinand Mendoza and Marcus Chiu combined for 29 points, including 5 triples to grab the lead at halftime, 45-42.
In the second half, Force behind Wong and Mendoza, slowly pulled away and Red Bulls started missing its shot attempts. Force took advantage of Red Bulls cold shooting spell and went on a shooting spree of their own, hitting eight triples, jump shots and lay ups in succession. Team Force also received help from Joe Nicdao, its guest player from TFC who contributed 10 points in the game.
In the second half Red Bulls’ Jet Deleste, Paulo Tanjuakio and Pangilinan tried to make a game of it but without much success. With 39 seconds remaining and with the smoke of the battle clear in the air, Team Force had built an insurmountable 87-65 lead.
Mendoza top scored for Force with 27 points, followed by Wong and Chiu with 19 and 15 points, respectively. For Red Bulls, Cortez, Pangilinan, and Paulo Tanjuakio were the high scorers with 18, 13 and 10 points, respectively.

Red Bulls will be back next year. Promise. Bigger, better, stronger and contender. Thank you to PAAD.
Yay! I'll bank on your promise - RED BULLS
REDBULL + TFC again next year bigger, stronger, bitter (better) and boxing contender hahahah
Hahahahah... Mc Keill BrYant has great sense of humor. Keep it up, man. I sense however that both Red Bulls and TFC will train hard for next year and will reinforce their lineups to be basketball contenders in Palaro 2010.
I know a few legit sources that told me that Redbulls already beefed up their lineup. but we'll see if it's a real. I say that if TFC and Redbulls 2007 squad combine again and add Fogata and Dizon, they can definitely be a real contender. Cmon redbulls and TFC! make it happen!
