Joshua Munzon picks up first win since returning to Westsports


It took three games before Joshua Munzon picked up his first win in his second stint with the Westsports Malaysia Dragons

The Dragons snapped their four-game losing streak after hammering the struggling Formosa Dreamers, 84-74, Sunday afternoon at the MABA Stadium in Malaysia.

Munzon, who returned to Westsports Malaysia last January 3, finished with 17 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Moreover, the title-holder for most steals in a season was able to force five turnovers in the contest in 37 minutes of action.

The 22-year-old averaged 26.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists prior to this game.

As he struggled from the field in the final frame, the versatile Filipino-American forward did the little things to help Westsports pull away late.

A three-pointer Marcus Marshall with 7:19 left proved to be the go-ahead bucket for Westsports. The Dragons led by as much as 10 points, 69-59, in the contest.

Behind Lenny Williams and the debuting Ronnie Aguilar, Formosa was able to slice the lead to as low as three points, 75-71, with 1:07 remaining. Free throws by AJ West and Marshall in the end game however held off the Dreamers.

With the win, Westsports raised their slate to 2-4. Formosa dropped to 1-7.
