JHY Enterprise cruised to the GHK Trophy basketball tournament title after defeating Amigos 82-51 in the final last night.

Yee Cheng topscored for JHY with a game-high of 24 points while the duo of Lim How and Kenny Lim added 21 and 17 respectively in the victory at the Tutong Chung Hwa basketball court.

On the other side, no player hit double figures with the pair of Daniel Yap and Calvin Kong notching nine points each to a losing cause.

Amigos started the game with only seven players and they lacked height missing the services of Tony Bong in the centre.

JHY got off to a quick start and never looked back after opening up a 22-9 lead going into the second period.

The game was still within reach after JHY extended their cushion to 36-21 at halftime.

Amigos switched to man-to-man defence after the interval but it allowed Lim How to score at will off isolation plays.

JHY were also tight defensively inside the area to intercept several passes to score on the break.

The closest Amigos got was within 13 points but soon found themselves in a bigger hole trailing 57-40 at the end of the third quarter.

JHY utilised the clock on every possession and continued to pour in the points enroute to victory as Amigos never threatened a comeback.

Meanwhile, BruGames claimed third place after defeating tournament namesakes GHK 84-76 on Tuesday night.
