After erupting for 20 points just two days ago, Rhenz Abando leads Anyang anew with 17 markers against Justin Gutang’s Changwon for their second straight win in the Korean Basketball League

MANILA, Philippines – Former NCAA MVP and Gilas Pilipinas high-flyer Rhenz Abando dropped a team-high 17 points as the Anyang KGC made quick work of Justin Gutang and the Changwon LG Sakers, 84-67, for back-to-back wins in the Korean Basketball League (KBL) on Sunday, November 20.

After erupting for 20 points in Anyang’s 80-78 escape of Ethan Alvano and the Wonju DB Promy last Friday, Abando came to play for the second straight outing, finishing with an efficient 7-of-12 shooting, along with 7 rebounds and 1 assist.

The former CSB Blazer Gutang, on the other hand, went scoreless for Changwon, missing all his seven attempts from the field and recorded 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.

Like Abando’s Anyang, RJ Abarrientos and the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus cruised to an 85-72 triumph over SJ Belangel and the Daegu KOGAS Pegasus to extend their winning streak to three games. 

Abarrientos, who outplayed Belangel in their previous matchup back in October, connected on 2 out of his 3 long bombs and scored 8 points, together with 1 rebound and 1 assist for Ulsan.

Belangel, meanwhile, had a forgettable performance for Daegu as he tallied just 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting in 8 minutes and 48 seconds of action. 

Finally, Alvano’s Wonju dropped its second straight assignment as it bowed to the Goyang Carrot Jumpers, 82-77.

The Filipino-American guard was held to just 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists for Wonju in the loss. – Rappler.com
