Borgy Hermida dished out a notable performance in his debut with
Maynilad Tuesday as the Water Dragons crushed the Junior Powerade
Tigers, 119-67, in the classification round of the PBA D-League
Foundation Cup at the Oreta gym in Malabon.
It took just 10 minutes for the Water Dragons to put away their
terribly mismatched opponent.
They roared to a 28-point advantage after one quarter by shooting 57
percent (13 of 23) while their pressure defense held the Tigers to 3
of 15 shooting and eight turnovers that earned them 15 points. The
Water Dragons also earned a 15-0 advantage on fastbreak points.
Maynilad’s total output and margin of victory both went into the
record books of the fledgling league.
Meanwhile, Freego Jeans snapped a three-game losing slump with 65-53
victory over RnW Pacific Pipes in a Group A play.
Lester Alvarez scored 19 points while Julius Colina and Eric Camson
turned in double-double performance for the Falcons, who broke a close
game open by outscoring RnW Pacific Pipes, 20-11, in the third
quarter.
Colina finished with 15 points, Camson added and both cornered 15 and
13rebounds respectively as the Freego Jeans outrebounded Pacific
Pipes, 50-48.
Jim Viray and Vic Manuel scored 11 point apiece for Pacific Pipes
which pickjed up its third consecutive loss and tied Freego Jeans on
1-3 records.
RnW Pacific Pipes lost starting guard Rex Leynes four minutes into the
third quarter after he was whistled for a flagrant foul two and was
ejected from the game for elbowing Kirk del Rosario during a rebound
play.
“Maganda lang ang pasok ni Borgy,” offered Maynilad coach Frankie Lim,
referring to his new playmaker.
Hermida became a free agent after his PBA team Barako Bull Energy
Drink rescinded the remainder of his contract that was to expire in
June. He scored 10 points and dished 10 assists in his debut while
anchoring Maynilad’s offense smoothly.
Jake Pascual scattered 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to show the
way for the Water Dragons, who bounced back from a 67-77 loss against
the FCA Cultivators last week to improved to 3-2 (win-loss) record in
Group B. Jose Lim contributed 18 points, Garbo Lanete added 15 and
David Marcelo contributed 14.
It was a jolting blow for the Tigers, who hoped build on their
stunning 77-73 win against Cebuana Lhuillier last April 7 but could
get their game going and picked up their third loss in four games.
James Martinez scored 14 points and Briand Ilad had 13 for the Tigers,
who never established a rhythm the entire game. They shot poorly (35
percent), they got beaten off the boards, 40-57, and committed a total
28 turnovers, 17 more than Maynilad’s.
The Water Dragon, who treated the game like a scrimmage, took a 64-25
lead at halftime and posted the games biggest margin at 55 (110-55) on
a basket by Jake Pascual with four minutes remaining.
