Hugnatan
sparkles in Game 7
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Negrense Reynel Hugnatan rose to the occasion last night, helping the Alaska Aces to a 99-96 victory over Talk N' Text in Game 7 of the PBA Fiesta Conference finals at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.
The 6-foot-4 Hugnatan, who hails from Talisay City, Negros Occidental, nailed an important free throw with a second left to peg the final score, after grabbing the rebound of Talk N' Text guard Donbel Belano's missed triple.
Hugnatan had
16 points to go with his nine caroms in an impressive performance that sparked
Aces' resurgence to the pinnacle of Philippine basketball. Hugnatan earlier missed
two charities with 35 seconds left.
