MERALCO BOLTS over ALASKA ACES, 86-70
Box Scores.
The Meralco Bolts came out with a lot of energy as they exacted payback with a Game 4 whipping of the Alaska Aces, 86-70, Monday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum to drag the series into a winner-take-all Game 5.
After receiving a 20-point beating in Game 3, the Bolts used a big 2nd half to tie the series.
Jared Dillinger spearheaded the Bolts’ assault with 17 markers, including a quartercourt buzzer beater to end the 3rd that capped off an 8-0 counter run to restore a double-digit spread.
Arinze Onuaku anchored the Bolts’ interior defense with 5 shot blocks that went with 16 points, 16 boards, and 4 assists. Cliff Hodge also added a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds, while they got a huge lift from Bryan Faundo, who pumped in 12 and 7 rebounds in a starting gig.
