EMET jumped out to a strong start with a 23-14 lead after the first period, setting the tone early. They maintained their momentum through the second quarter, adding 24 points to La Family’s 21, and continued to extend their advantage in the third (18-16). The final frame saw EMET completely dominate, outscoring La Family 9-3, sealing the victory emphatically.

The star of the night was undoubtedly Jose Berrios, who delivered a near-flawless performance with 24 points on 10-for-13 shooting from the field, including 2 three-pointers. Berrios also dominated the boards with 17 rebounds (3 offensive, 14 defensive) and contributed 3 assists, finishing with an efficiency rating of 39.

Supporting Berrios was Melvin Morales, who brought impressive shooting numbers to the floor, hitting 8 of 15 shots including an outstanding 6 three-pointers out of 12 attempts, tallying 24 points. Morales’ accuracy stretched the defense and created scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Ryan Vega also provided a spark, scoring 16 points with an efficient shooting split and an 85.7% clip from the free-throw line. Additionally, Wilfre Matos helped with 6 points while grabbing 8 rebounds, playing a steady role in EMET’s frontcourt.

On La Family’s side, James Sheriff was the lone bright spot, finishing with 15 points on 54.5% shooting along with 5 rebounds. Chelo Martinez added 12 points, mostly from beyond the arc, but the rest of La Family’s squad struggled to find consistent offense.

Rico Martinez contributed 11 points and 3 assists, while Elijah Smith chipped in 9 points and 5 rebounds, but these efforts were not enough to bridge the widening gap as the contest wore on. La Family found it especially difficult in the final quarter, managing only 3 points while EMET pulled away decisively.

From the outset, EMET’s balanced attack and defensive pressure disrupted La Family’s rhythm. Their ability to convert from deep and dominate the glass allowed them to control pace and possession.

This victory improves EMET’s positioning in the Summer League standings and highlights their potential as a formidable contender this season. Their resolute performance and star contributions promise an exciting run ahead.
