Freego Jeans drew spectacular performances from Eric Camson and Lester
Alvarez and the Falcons advanced to the quarterfinals of the PBA
D-league Foundation Cup by eliminating Maynilad, 88-81 on Thursday in
the first round of the knockout playoffs at The Arena in San Juan.
The 6-foot-4 Camson turned in a double-double effort with 25 points
and 12 rebounds while Alvarez, a 5-foot-8 smooth shooting guard, went
6 of 11 from the 3-point range to also finish with 25 markers for
Freego Jeans, which seized control in the third quarter before holding
off a late charge by Maynilad.
“From the moment we lost our first three games in the classification
round it became our goal prepare for the playoffs. I thought we are
peaking at the right time,” said Freego Jeans coach Leo Austria.
Blackwater also advanced to the next round but had to survive repeated
comebacks by the gutsy Junior Powerade Tigers for a 70-66 victory in
the other match.
Gio Ciriacruz scored 21 points and Ian Mazo added 18 to show the way
for the Elite, who lost their poise and their shooting down the
stretch.
The Tigers trailed 59-68 with under three minutes to play but scored
six straight points to pull within two on a basket by Mike Gamboa who
completed a steal off Andrian Celada.
Powerade had a chance to win the game but Alvin Padilla’s 3-point
attempt fell short and Blackwater cornered the rebound to seal the
win.
“We almost blew it. But the good thing is we still managed to win it,”
said Blackwater coach Leo Isaac.
Maynilad shot 51 percent in the first half but led by just 46-45 at halftime.
The Water Dragons have just returned home from a two-week basketball
training camp in the United States and Austria surmised jet lag has
something to do with their sluggish play.
“They looked tired. I thought they are still feeling the effect of the
long travel and we capitalized on it,” Austria said.
After Garvo Lanete made a free throw to make the count 51-49 in favour
of Maynilad, the Falcons responded with a 17-2 run and posted the game
biggest lead at 66-53. Alvarez scored nine, including two threes, in
that telling spurt.
Alex Nuyles turned in 18 points. He and Julius Colina grabbed nine
boards apiece as Freego Jeans outrebounded Maynilad, 45-44.
Jose Carmelo Lim scored 15 points and Lanete added 14 for the Watre
Dragons, who turned the ball over 16 times.
The game featured eight deadlocks and 13 lead changes but the second
half was an all Freego Jeans show.
The Water Dragons tried to keep the game close but they never really
established a momentum the entire game.
Freego Jeans will be facing Group B top-sded Cebuana Lhuillier on
Tuesday also at The Arena.

Maynilad battles Freego Jeans, Blackwater takes on Powerade in KO matches
Maynilad battles Freego Jeans and Blackwater takes on Powerade in a
pair of knockout matches as the PBA D-League first round playoffs gets
going Thursday at the Arena in San Juan.
Frankie Lim, the Maynilad coach, is expecting a tough grind when the
Water Dragons and the Falcons mix it up at 2 o’clock.
He said the Water Dragons will be without Sudan Daniel, who is
sidelined by an injury.
The Water Dragons have just returned from a basketball training camp
in the United States and should be in top shape going into the crucial
match.
“We’re looking forward to the next round. But Freego is a dangerous
team and well coached,” Lim said.
“It will not be easy for us to beat them since we are playing without Sudan.”
The 4 p.m. encounter between the Tigers and the Elite also promises to
be interesting.
“It’s going to be a big challenge for us going up against Blackwater.
We’ll surely have our hands full trying to contain them,” said Junior
Powerade coach Ricky Dandan.
The Junior Tigers clinched the last playoff berth in Group B by
eliminating Café France with a 77-65 win in their knockout match

After a woeful shooting in the first half, PC Gilmore exploded for
10 3-point shots in the second half and plastered RnW Pacific Pipes,
75-59, Tuesday in the classification round of the PBA D-League
Foundation Cup at the Letran gym.
The Wizards made just 32 percent of their shots (12 of 38) in the
first half but seized control late in the third quarter as Pacific
Pipes continue to struggle with its offense.
Eric Agas showed the way for PC Gilmore with 15 points. Jett Vidal had
13. Allan Mangahas added 11, nine rebounds and seven assists.
Jam Cortes cornered 13 rebounds as PC Gilmore outrebounded Pacific Pipes, 52-45.
“Our shooting in the first half didn’t click. We’re missing easy
lay-ups and free throws. We we’re tight. Siguro dahil sa haba ng
break. But I told the guys if we can’s score we must at least get
stops. Good thing we made our shots we when we needed,” said PC
Gilmore coach Richard del Rosario.
In Group B play, Cebuana Lhuillier weathered a fiery charge by
Maynilad down the stretch and got away with a 91-89 victory.
Obviously, the Gems learned from their stunning 73-77 loss against
Junior Powerade. They played with a high level of urgency and energy
against Maynilad and didn’t back down when the Water Dragons became
physical.
Emotions ran high in the second half with Maynilad coach Frankie Lim
getting tossed from the game with 7:14 remaining for continuous
complaining.
“We played with a great team effort,” said Cebuana Lhuillier coach
Luigi Trillo, who reserved his praise for guard Kevin Alas.
“He is a Letran Knight but he played with a heart of a Lion,” Trillo said.
Allein Maliksi led all scorers with 28 points. Alas had 27, including
his teams last six points in the final 45 seconds to secure the win.
Cebuana Lhuillier improved to 3-1 while Maynilad closed out its
classification round assignment with a 3-3 mark.
The Gems shot 54 percent in the first half to built a 52-36 advantage
that held on till the end.
Garbo Lanete’s basket with 53 seconds left pushed Maynilad to within
82-85 to make the game exciting but the Water Dragons ran out of time.
The Wizards made 19 of 40 attempts in the second half and 10 of 20
3-point tries. In contrast, Pacific Pipes shot just 13 of 29 and was 1
of 4 from 3-point range.
The Wizards, who bounced back from an 87-88 loss against NLEX two
weeks ago, improved to 3-2 (win-loss) record in Group A to remain in
the hunt for an outright spot in the second round of the playoffs.
Pacific Pipes picked up its fourth loss in a row and fell to 1-4.
“Our game against Blackwater is crucial,” Del Rosario said. The
Wizards and the Elite wind up their classification round campaign on
May 5.
Anthony del Rio’s two free throws put Pacific Pipes ahead for the last
time at 44-43, before PC Gilmore closed out the third quarter with 7-1
run. Luis Sinco ended the spurt with a 3-pointer to give the Wizards a
50-45 lead entering the fourth quarter.
The Wizards extended the lead to 13 by scoring the first eight points
of the fourth.
The Wizards highlighted their second half shooting spree by knocking
their last five baskets from the behind the arc.

Behind a stinging defense and balance offensive, Maynilad pounced on
Café France for a lopsided 106-74 victory Tuesday for its second
straight win in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the Lyceum of the
Philippines University gym.
The Water Dragons needed just 20 minutes to put away their rival as
Garbo Lanete scored 12 of his team-high 21 points in the second
quarter. Jose Lim added 19 and David Marcelo had 10, nine rebounds
and three blocks for Maynilad, which improved to 2-1 in Group B.
In contrast, PC Gilmore held off a fourth quarter assault by Pharex
for a 99-97 victory and earned a piece of the lead in Group A.
Allan Mangahas scored 20 points and Carlo Lastimosa added 15,
including three clutch free throws in the closing seconds for PC
Gilmore, which pull abreast with idle NLEX and Pharex, which had its
two-game winning streak snapped.
“The guys responded well and we gave them different looks with our
defense. I thought our trap did well for us,” said Maynilad coach
Frankie Lim, banished from the court with four minutes to play for
physically contacting a player.
Lim agreed though that his team’s acid test is forthcoming as Maynilad
close out its elimination round against FCA (April 12), Powerade
(April 19) and Cebuana Lhuillier (April 26).
“FCA and Cebuana, they are the strongest teams in our group. But if we
manage to win against them we’ll be assured of a spot in the second
round of the playoffs,” Lim noted.
Non Mabayo scored 21 points and Leeward Lobaton added 13 for the
Scorpions, who couldn’t keep pace due to poor shooting and their
inability to defend well. Café France made just 30 of 88 attempts (34
percent) and picked up their third straight loss in as many games.
Jake Pascual scored all his eight points in the opening quarter to get
Maynilad’s offense going and the Water Dragons held the Scorpions to 5
of 23 shooting for 28-13 lead.
By halftime, Maynilad’s lead had swelled to 57-37 and there was no way
Café France could turn the game around when the Water Dragons posted a
31-point lead at the end of the third.
The physicality of the match take took its toll late in the fourth
when Café France’s guard Ildefonso Bulangis and Maynilad’s Jose Lim
traded barbs moments after a looseball scramble.
Lim, the Maynilad coach, pacified the two but he shove Bulangis a
little bit too hard drawing him a flagrant foul penalty 2 and his
eventual ejection.
PC Gilmore controlled the game for most part by disrupting Pharex’s
momentum with their defensive hassle and scrappiness.
But the Bidang Generix gained some momentum in the fourth and pulled
threateningly close at 97-98 on a 3-pointer by James Mangahas with
17.8 seconds to go.
Lastimosa split his free throws a second later to make it a two-point
game before Pharex missed on two potential game-winner from the
3-point range as time expired.
“We lost our discipline in the end game. That’s natural for a young
team. But at least we find ways to hung on,” said PC Gilmore coach
Richard del Rosario.

Early showdown pits two title contenders
Games on March 22, Tuesday
(FEU gym)
2 p.m. – Max Bond Super Glue vs. Maynilad
4 p.m. – NLEX vs. Pharex
AN early showdown pitting two title contender highlights Tuesday's
doubleheader of the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the FEU gym in
Morayta.
On the day Max! Bond Super Glue makes it debut, all eyes will be on the
potentially explosive encounter between the NLEX Road Warriors and the
Pharex Batang Generix set at 4 p.m.
The match features two of the pre-season favorites for the inaugural
championship of the fledgling league and two of the three teams
currently on top of Group A.
Behind the combined 34 points of San Sebastian stalwart Calvin Abueva
and free agent Ogie Menor, the Road Warriors flattened Freego Jeans in
its opening match, 82-71.
Not to be outdone, the Batang Generix were equally impressive in a
100-90 demolition of Black Water as Marlon Adolfo exploded for 25
points and Jayson Deutchman posted double-double figures of 16 markers
and 10 rebounds.
As if that’s not enough, Pharex coach Gian Carlo Tan admitted the team
has yet to play as one cohesive unit.
“The team has not really experienced a time to bond and know each
other. Good thing our defense hold and enable us to win. I hope we
jell sooner than later,” Tan said.
Coach Pido Jarencio and his Sumos are the last ones to see action for
the first time, opening their campaign with a 2 p.m. match up with the
Maynilad Water Dragons in a meeting between teams from Group B.
Jarencio will be banking on a core of young and veteran players that
included Santiago Cabatu, Roel Hugnatan, Rudy Lingganay, Reil
Cervantes, Mark Benitez and his own players from Santo Tomas, Jeric
Teng and Jeric Fortuna.
The Water Dragons, powered by the roster of reigning NCAA seniors cage
champion San Beda, fell to the Cobra Ironmen in their debut, 78-70.

2 p.m. – Max Bond Super Glue vs. Maynilad
4 p.m. – NLEX vs. Pharex
AN early showdown pitting two title contender highlights Tuesday's
doubleheader of the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the FEU gym in
Morayta.
On the day Max! Bond Super Glue makes it debut, all eyes will be on the
potentially explosive encounter between the NLEX Road Warriors and the
Pharex Batang Generix set at 4 p.m.
The match features two of the pre-season favorites for the inaugural
championship of the fledgling league and two of the three teams
currently on top of Group A.
Behind the combined 34 points of San Sebastian stalwart Calvin Abueva
and free agent Ogie Menor, the Road Warriors flattened Freego Jeans in
its opening match, 82-71.
Not to be outdone, the Batang Generix were equally impressive in a
100-90 demolition of Black Water as Marlon Adolfo exploded for 25
points and Jayson Deutchman posted double-double figures of 16 markers
and 10 rebounds.
As if that’s not enough, Pharex coach Gian Carlo Tan admitted the team
has yet to play as one cohesive unit.
“The team has not really experienced a time to bond and know each
other. Good thing our defense hold and enable us to win. I hope we
jell sooner than later,” Tan said.
Coach Pido Jarencio and his Sumos are the last ones to see action for
the first time, opening their campaign with a 2 p.m. match up with the
Maynilad Water Dragons in a meeting between teams from Group B.
Jarencio will be banking on a core of young and veteran players that
included Santiago Cabatu, Roel Hugnatan, Rudy Lingganay, Reil
Cervantes, Mark Benitez and his own players from Santo Tomas, Jeric
Teng and Jeric Fortuna.
The Water Dragons, powered by the roster of reigning NCAA seniors cage
champion San Beda, fell to the Cobra Ironmen in their debut, 78-70.
These games will be aired right after on delayed telecast at 6:00pm over IBC-13.(pr)
