- Alaska Ace Mike Cortez - Court General -


It is Nino Canaleta, though, who is the big difference for Ginebra.
He has 29 markers [50% field goal shooting], 8 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal.
[Actually, in this corner jumper, Canaleta is blocked by Samigue Eman [#33].

Alaska - Thoss-13 / Custodio-12 / Reyes-11 / Baguio-11 /

Canaleta outstreches Alaska Ace Jayr Reyes


for one of the 8 boards he pulls down.


- Post game Player-of-the Game Interview-
Canaleta is in the limelight once again.


PBA Courtside Correspondent Aaron Atayde enjoys the basketball game
This guy looks very happy with his job.

As for me, I too, am happy with my job.




Meralco Over Barako Bull
                                      Meralco -83               Barako Bull - 75


Big Mac always hits the big baskets.
In this thrust, Willie Miller and Dylan Ababou double Capt. Hook.
Macmac puts in 17 points, takes down 4 boards, dishes out 2 assists,
and steals the ball once. [18 minutes on the court]


Gabby Espinas, another Bolt that can strike from anywhere anytime,
 scores 16 points and grabs 6 rebounds [3 off]. [32 minutes on the court]




Cardona - Looking for the right moment to make his move.


- Just do it -


           1st   2nd  3rd   4th  Final     Reb  TO Pts     FG%       FT%

Barako   18    15   17    25    =75      51   17       28/77     12/15 80%

                 Najorda-7 / Ababou-5 / Aquino-4 / Salvador-4 /
                 Artadi-2 


Two bigs, Dorian Pena of Barako Bull and Asi Taulava of Meralco,
[leading rebounders for their teams - Taulava w/17, Pena w/14]
seem to be playing rough ball in this bit of action [4-frame sequence]
.







Non-call.
If you can't beat them and don't wanna join them
- just sigh and stick your tongue out.


Just like I stated before, the PBA is where one finds little boys [trapped in big men's bodies] playing basketball [whilst being guided by coaches, who themselves, occasionally behave like little kids] in a big dome in Cubao.

Kidding aside - I have a lot of respect for the professionals [from the players - veterans, rookies, whoever, to the coaches, the courtside correspondents, the writers and my co-photographers] who just try to do a good job each time they show up at the PBA.
