RP
five suffer
third straight loss
TEHRAN - A hobbling San Miguel-RP Team lost to Syria's Al Jalaa 80-114 Tuesday, leaving national coach Chot Reyes to carefully weigh his options for the remainder of the 18th FIBA Asia Champions Cup at the Azadi Stadium here.
Towering Bernard Jons had a rare triple double of 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocked shots while Julius Nwosu added 18 points and eight rebounds to spark and fuel the Syrians' rout that took shape right in the first half.
More than the Syrian imports, however, it was the injuries being nursed by Jimmy
Alapag, Danny Seigle and Mick Pennisi that hastened the Nationals third straight
and most lopsided loss in Group B. Alapag and Seigle sprained their ankles and
Pennisi suffered a gimpy left knee in a 66-75 loss to Kazakhstan's Astana Tigers
last Monday. 
| Rivalry
intensifies Bacolod Professionals will have a chance to avenge their loss to Basketball Unified Sports Group team "A" when they clash for the championship of BUS Group 38-Above Invitational tournament on Sunday at Lopue's South Square gym. BAPRO blasted Pueblo Rosario Athletic Club, 83-58 to arrange a winner take all final against the host which downed BUS "B" 79-66 in the crossover semifinal last Sunday. Ronald
Gustilo scored 12, Shad Guanzon 11, Nap Ledesma and Rommel Teruel hit 10 apiece
to pace BAPRO. PRAC's Noel Sause and Jack Palermo combined for 25 points but the
rest of Eroreco homeowners failed to back up the duo. BAPRO led 42-19 at half
and never let up. |
