USA in Jones Cup
The Philippines rode behind Jimmy Alapag and Mark Caguioa in the final three minutes to scramble past defending champion USA, 72-67, last night in their opening match in the 29th William Jones Cup basketball tournament at the Sinjhuang Stadium in Taipei.
The 6-foot Caguioa, who plays for Ginebra San Miguel in the PBA, scored the final seven points as the Philippines blew hot and cold and hot again to rally for their first victory in the 10-team tournament.
Alapag drained a triple that was followed up by another
trey from Caguioa to push the Filipinos, 65-59, with 2:04 remaining.
The Ginebra guard then sealed the game with a backdoor lay-up and another
twinner on the fastbreak with 25 seconds left. The Filipinos had their
biggest lead at 39-31 at halftime as Alapag used his quickness to shred
the defense with easy lay-ups in the second quarter but they groped
for form in the third period and was limited to a point in the first
seven minutes of the third quarter.

TnT guard cited There is little left unknown in Mark Cardona's offense and yet the opposition still wasn't able to stop him. As a result, Cardona proved every bit the explosive player that he is - again - and he is once more the unanimous choice as the PBA Press Corps' Player of the Week for the period June 25-July 1. It was the second straight and seventh such citation - the most
among all players - this season for the 6-foot-1 guard and TNT coach
Derick Pumaren attributed it all to the player making a mockery
of the Red Bull defense in their best-of-seven semifinals duel. |
