Tigers Tear Tropang Texters Apart
Powerade - 131 TnT - 96
The Powerade Tigers had 21 more attemps [49-90 for 50%] at the basket than the Tropang Texters [28-74 for 37%] and had 7 more steals [12 to TnT's 5]. Powerade had 11 turnovers while Tnt had 24. Not surprisingly, in turnover points, Perasol's boys scored 33 while Reyes' had only 10. It was pretty even in the rebounding department, [Powerade-49] [TnT-47]. The Texters simply never had a chance.
Here are some [randomly arranged, as always] low res images [as usual] from that game:
The King Tiger, Gary David, whoops it up.
JV Casio defends Jayson Castro.
Castro shoots 33.3% from the field.
[1-3 3-pt fg] [3-9 2-pt fg]
- Ganging up on Gary -
[above and below]
Four Texters surround David - No matter - David still manages to lead all scorers with 27 points and take down 5 boards.
Sean Anthony fades away for two.
Anthony scores 17 points.
- JV Casio - Powerade Court General -
Casio scores 14 points.
Jayson Castro gets into scoring position.
- Time To Relax -
Rommel Adducul [right] does a decent job -
He scores 10 markers.
For Powerade - David, Lassiter, Anthony, Casio, Kramer, and Adducul all put in double figures [27, 19, 17, 14, 13, 10 pts. respectively]
For Tnt - Wiliams, Castro, Carey, Oreta, and Fonacier all put in double figures too [18, 15, 15, 14, 12 pts. respectively]
Adducul took down 6 boards for Powerade while Carey hauled 11 for TnT.
- Alvarez and Antonio chase a loose ball -
Both the Tigers and the Texters fought tooth and nail for every loose ball,
but with the Tigers taking 21 more attempts -
and Tnt turning the ball over 13 times more than Powerade -
how could Chot Reyes have ever have hoped to win? ?
Barako Bull Seals A Win Over The Elasto Painters
Barako Bull - 106 Rain or Shine - 102

Elasto painters Paul Lee and Jeff Chan try
prevent Dylan Ababou from executing a good pass.
Willie Miller [driving] converts on 7 of his 14 2-point field goal attempts.
He makes 2 of his 4 free throws for 50% too for a game total of 16 points.Dylan Ababou outjumps Ryan Arana and Paul Lee for a high percentage shot.
This Barako Bull comes in at a close second to Pennisi, in scoring,
hitting the hoops for a total of 21 points.
To the delight of the Araneta crowd, gutsy Lou Gatumbato eventually scores on a 3-pointer - only after missing three sure 2-pointers that simply rimmed or bounced out .
Ryan Arana tries to defend Willie Miller.
Miler contributes 16 points for Barako Bull.
Arana puts in 6 points for Rain or Shine.I wonder what the tattoos on Pennisi's left arm might mean.
[No matter - just a trivial thought]
Mick is Barako Bull's leading scorer with 22 markers.Earlier In The Afternoon, at the Arena in San Juan . . .

Sometime during Set #1 [Stay only for that Set because have to rush to Araneta for the PBA] play is halted pending a clarification between the game officials and the Adamson team regarding an infraction by the Lady Falcons. It takes almost 10-15 long minutes before play is resumed. During this lull I steal photos of the Lady Archers Gumabao, Gohing, Reyes, Marano as they kill time on the court. I see how solid they are - I can feel their vibe even meters away, as I continually focus my telephoto lens.
I'm no authority on volleyball but - after observing the Lady Archers in that short lull - Let me say [as a die-hard Lady Eagles fan] that these
Girls in Green will be extremely difficult to dethrone.
[Difficult, but not Impossible]
