Davao Fresh Foods Corporation (DFFC) ended the hopes of SMFI-Live operations of barging into the semifinal round, 93-69. SMFI-Live failed to crack and succumbed to the trapping defense put up by DFFC in the fourth quarter. The first three quarters was a nip and tuck battle were we saw several lead changes. Halftime score is 37-36 in favor of DFFC. Four minutes into the fourth quarter with DFFC leading 66-60, DFFC switches to a trapping defense which SMFI Live failed to solve. SMFI never recovered from the trapping defense and committed numerous errors. DFFC outscored SMFI-Live in the entire second half, 56-33, for the final score of 93-69.
DFFC will now face Sirawan Polomolok Development Corporation (SPDC) next, in what will be a repeat of the last conference semifinal pairing where SPDC demolished the gritty DFFC squad. SPDC will enjoy a twice-to-beat advantage, by virtue of being the top seed in the elimination round. Don't count out DFFC, DFFC is the only team that have beaten SPDC, 83-67,in the elimination round of this conference. However in that game, SPDC played without their bigman Jimbo Baba. Game time is 4:30pm Sunday November 15, 2009 right after the telecast of the PACMAN-COTTO Firepower boxing match. See you there!
