MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The Alaska Aces accomplished a 101-86 rout of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel to make it 3 straight wins in the 2017 PBA Philippine Cup on Sunday, December 18 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
RJ Jazul had 16 points on 5-of-8 shooting from deep while Calvin Abueva once again reveled in silencing the Gin Kings’ loyal fans with his 12 points, 5 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block.
Chris Banchero and Vic Manuel had 10 points apiece as the Aces, who led by as much as 30 points early in the fourth, hiked their record to 3-2.
“I’m actually a little surprised with the result,” said Alaska coach Alex Compton. “I was prepared to be radically stressed out for about two hours.”
Ginebra’s usual gunners went cold with rookie Kevin Ferrer topscoring for 19 points off the bench, on 5-of-11 three-point shooting. Japeth Aguilar had 12 points but never secured a rebound as Joe Devance tallied 12 markers as well to go with 6 boards.
LA Tenorio missed all 5 of his field goal attempts in 21 minutes and had two rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 turnovers. Sol Mercado and Scottie Thompson had 8 points each as Mercado attempted only 3 shots.
The Gin Kings, still unable to gain momentum, downgraded their record to 2-3.
