Game 1 The Match-up Result
BGK takes Game One, 102-96, with a pulsating and scorching start up until the 3rd quarter of the game, before SMB made furious rallies down the stretch that proved to be futile as the BGK crew valiantly staved of their seething comeback.
Freeman, Gabriel 16pts 12rebs 3stls 3asts 1blk vs Noel, David 13pts 8rebs 6asts 2stls 2blks --- equal, as they've cancelled each other out
Villanueva, Jonas 18pts 6rebs 3asts 1stl vs Helterbrand, Jayjay 21pts 6rebs 7asts ----JJ made the much better impact on the game
Hontiveros, Dondon 11pts 5rebs 3asts vs Baguio, Cyrus 17pts 3rebs ---- Dondon, despite having an off night still played better than Cyrus
Washington, Jay 19pts 4rebs 3asts 2stl vs Salvacion, Sunday 9pts 5rebs 1ast ---- a showing full of promise for the succeeding games, he'll give BGK coashing staff the headaches
Peña, Dorian 4pts 3rebs 1astvs Reavis, Rafi 2pts 4rebs 2stls
Racela, Olsen 7pts 1reb 3ast vs Lanete, Chico 5pts 1reb 1ast 1stl
Cortez, Mike 13pts 2rebs 2asts 1stl 1blk vs Artadi, Paul 13pts 2rebs 1ast ---- interesting duel, though Artadi's early surge proved to be critical as it gave the BGK the much needed momentum
Pennisi, Mick 3pts 1reb vs Mamaril, Billy 4pts 4rebs 1ast 1blk
Ildefonso, Danny 4pts 1reb vs Menk, Eric 2pts 2rebs 1blk ---- despite his limited minutes (and contributions), Menk's mere insertion/presence on the active duty is a booster for the Kings
Pingris, Marc 2pts 5rebs 1ast 1blk vs Intal, JC 2pts 5rebs 2ast 1blk
Custodio, Bonbon DNP vs Tubid, Ronald 14pts 5rebs ---- would've been such a great match-up. Bonbon wasn't fielded because he's under the weather. Expect fireworks if he gets activated.
