PBA Result: Powerade Tigers vs Petron Boosters October 30 2011

The reigning league scoring champ was back with his guns ablaze, mowing down the Petron
Blaze Boosters.

Gary David sprang back strong from a struggle in their last game, exploding with a career-best 42
points to lead Powerade to a 108-94 win over Petron Blaze in the PBA Philippine Cup at the Ynares
Sports Center here Sunday.

David delivered that huge output curiously after being held down to seven points in their game
versus B-Meg Wednesday. It was the first time in the last five conferences that the prolific scorer
was limited to a single-digit number.

In their earlier game versus Barangay Ginebra, David hastened their sorry downfall with two missed
charities.

“Pinayuhan ako ng mga pinsan ko na kalimutan ko yung last two games na yon. Kinalimutan ko at
mukhang nakatulong,” said David on his explosion versus the Boosters.

David went 4-of-6 from the three-point area, 11-of-13 from the two-point zone and 8-of-10 from the
stripe as he almost single-handedly carried the Tigers past the Boosters.

Powerade caught up with Petron at fifth place at 3-3, two full games behind the pacesetting Rain or
Shine Elasto Painters (5-1).

“We made sure Gary’s mind is right in trying to understand that we’ll be by his side whatever
happens. Whether he makes his shots or not, we’re with him,” said Powerade coach Bo Perasol.

David went firing right in the first quarter, engaging Arwind Santos in a fiery shootout until the
Petron ace was ejected from the game on a flagrant infraction on Ricky Calimag with 3:14 left to
play.

Calimag made both charities then David, Doug Kramer and Sean Anthony had their own baskets in a
crucial run opening a 98-89 lead for the Tigers entering the final minute.

David surpassed his previous career best of 40 with a three-pointer with 24 seconds left to play.

Santos had put in double-double numbers with 23 points and 10 rebounds before being banished from
the game.

Alex Cabagnot also came through a double-double game with 22 points and 13 assists while Danny
Ildefonso added 13 rebounds and nine points for the Boosters who enjoyed a 10-point lead in the
first quarter only to be overtaken by the Tigers, 48-47, at the half.

David fired 12 points in the first quarter, six in the second, 10 in the third and 14 in the fourth.
