Bread Story-Lyceum holds off Tanduay Light for first win
In the opening game, Bread Story-Lyceum Smashing Bakers earned their first win in the 2014-2015 PBA D-League Aspirants Cup with a 69-64 victory over Tanduay Light.
Arellano Chiefs star Jiovani Jalalon led the charge for the winning side, putting up 15 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds while Joseph Gabayni pitched in with 8 markers. UST swingman Louie Vigil also contributed, registering 7 points.
It was Vigil’s 3-pointer that gave his team a 3-point lead in the third quarter, where Jalalon scored nearly half of his total output.
Late in the fourth period with the Smashing Bakers clinging on to a 62-60 lead, a basket by Gabayni rewarded his team some breathing room. Not long after, Jeremiah Taladua hit a 3-pointer to make the count 67-60, sealing the victory for Bread Story-Lyceum.
Tanduay, which converted only two field goals in the fourth quarter and went 50% from the foul stripe, was led by John Foronda and Robin Rono, who had 11 and 10 points, respectively.

Cagayan Valley keeps unbeaten record win Cebuana-Lhullier win
Abel Galliguez scored 11 of his game-high 22 points in the third quarter to lead the Cagayan Valley Rising Suns to its third straight win in the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup during Thursday’s main event game against the Cebuana-Lhullier Gems, 79-76.
Galliguez also received help from former Adamson Soaring Falcon Don Trollano, who finished with 21 points, and Rey Mabulac, who put up 12.
The Rising Suns trailed by as much as 17, 29-12, in the first half before using a 13-2 run to open the fourth quarter to take the momentum and lead.
Cagayan Valley has won all its games this conference despite the absence of 2014 PBA D-League top overall pick Moala Tautuaa, who is expected to make his debut in his team’s next game.
