Back to his deadly form, JC Intal becomes PBA Player of the Week
The 6-foot-4 Intal notches two straight 20-point games in the span of 4 days

MANILA, Philippines – JC Intal is back to his old, deadly form as he led the Phoenix Fuel Masters to back-to-back wins in the past week to earn the PBA Press Corps Player of the Week citation for the period of November 29 to December 4.

The 6-foot-4 Intal had two straight 20-point games in the span of 4 days as he led Phoenix with 22 points in a shocking upset of defending champion San Miguel Beer, then firing 6 triples for another team-high 24 points in a victory over Mahindra Sunday night, December 4.

The 33-year-old Intal averaged 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in both victories as he came off the bench in his resurgence after a foot injury that sidelined him for a great deal late last season.

Intal bested Globalport’s backcourt duo of Terrence Romeo and Stanley Pringle, Meralco’s Chris Newsome, TNT’s Jayson Castro and Moala Tautuaa, as well as Ginebra big man Japeth Aguilar for this week’s citation.

“I’m happy that JC has fully recovered from his bone spur injury (on his foot) that sidelined him for almost the whole third conference,” said Phoenix coach Ariel Vanguardia, whose team now holds a 2-1 record.

“He is one of the hardest working players I’ve coached and even though he is considered our franchise player, he is willing to learn and very coachable.” – Rappler.com
