PBA Result: B-Meg Llamados vs Barako Bull October 29 2011

Barako Bull showed more energy in a draining out-of-town battle here
with B-Meg Saturday night, escaping with an overtime win and a piece of tournament leadership.

The Energy outlasted the Llamados, 87-84, and drew level with the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters and
the Talk n Text Tropang Texters atop the PBA Philippine Cup leader board at 4-1.

Willie Miller came through with 18 points and four rebounds, leading Barako Bull past B-Meg in the
Panabo stop of the Phoenix Fuel PBA on Tour.

Barako Bull stretched its streak to four games as it emerged slightly better than B-Meg in an
error-filled finish of their match at the Panabo Multi-Purpose Sports and Tourism Center.

The Energy got away with the three-point decision with the Llamados missing a shot and committing
three errors in the final 1:25 of play.

The winning team itself ran into a maze of errors but pulled through as they went ahead to stay,
86-84, on a tough shot by Wynne Arboleda off Josh Urbiztondo with still 1:07 left.

B-Meg forced the extension play as James Yap knocked in a three-pointer with 1.8 ticks left in
regulation.

Barako still managed to get at shot in the closing seconds but Miller missed the target.

The regulation play was marked by several momentum shifts with B-Meg opening the game with a 7-0
run, Barako sparking a second-quarter chase and the two teams trading more runs in the final half.

Ironically, the game dulled in overtime.

Kerby Raymundo accounted for two grievous errors, the second coming off a timeout with B-Meg looking
to force a second OT.

He issued a pass intended for James Yap that landed in the hands of Jondan Salvador.

Sent to the stripe on a quick B-Meg foul, Salvador canned the first charity then deliberately missed
the second that – again ironically – gave the Llamados another lifeline.

The Energy eventually won the game with Yap missing an attempt in the final second.

Don Allado became the 29th player in league history to accumulate at least 1,000 offensive rebounds
in the contest.
