BGY. GINEBRA GIN KINGS over BARAKO BULL ENERGY, 94-75
Mark Caguioa did his damage early while Joseph Yeo
came on to carry the team late as Barangay Ginebra San Miguel cruised to
another lopsided victory in the PBA Philippine Cup, this time over Barako Bull,
94-75. In an encore to his terrific performance in ‘Manila Clasico’ last
Sunday, Yeo starred once again with 17 points, including 5/8 shooting
performance from beyond the arc. He hit four of those three-pointers in a
crucial fourth quarter run that put the game away for the Kings. He also had 7
rebounds and 4 assists. Caguioa, meanwhile, showed off not just his scoring
ability but his playmaking as well, finishing with 15 points and a game-high 7
assists as Ginebra improved to 5-1, good for solo second place. Greg Slaughter
added 14 points and 8 boards, while frontcourt partner Japeth Aguilar had 10
and 8. Rookie Rodney Brondial gave the team a boost as well, scoring 7 points
on 3-for-4 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds of his own. It was Ginebra’s
third consecutive win after notching back-to-back victories over Blackwater and
Purefoods in their last two assignments. Barako Bull remained winless in five
games to start the season. They were paced by Denok Miranda, who tallied 19 points,
4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Line of the
Game: Joseph Yeo - 17 points, 7
rebounds, 4 assists, 5 triples.
