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.

POWERADE 108 - David 42, Kramer 18, Lingganay 11, Lassiter 11, Calimag 9, Casio 6, Antonio 4,

PBA: B-Meg Llamados vs Powerade Tigers October 26 2011 Result

A LITTLE freedom can go a long way, as B-Meg head coach Tim Cone just pleasantly found out.

Allowing his players more leeway to create their own situations and differentiating from his usual
starting unit a bit, Cone was rewarded by the Llamados with a 97-80 win over Powerade Wednesday in
the PBA Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

PJ Simon was reverted back to his usual off-guard spot but still among B-Meg's starters and promptly
responded by starring on both ends of the court, scoring a game-high 21 points and anchoring some
fine defensive efforts.

"We decided to kind of shelf our unconventional lineup, which is not having a pure point guard. We
decided to change that today and that got everybody back into their comfort zone," related Cone, who
started Josh Urbiztondo as playmaker in lieu of Simon.

As a direct result, B-Meg improved its win-loss record to 2-3 and tied Powerade, which absorbed its
second straight setback.

James Yap added 20, the bulk coming in a first quarter breakaway, before the likes of rookie Mark
Barroca and Joe Devance joined in and helped get the job done.

All the while, Simon anchored the defense on Gary David and Marcio Lassiter before joining hands
with Urbiztondo in quashing the Tigers' fightback from as much as a 29-point deficit, earning
special mention from Cone.

"I thought PJ came out and became a committed defender. He did a great job on Gary and also Lassiter
in the first half," said Cone.

The way his charges generally played a great game also pleased Cone no end as the specter of a third
straight loss was easily dispelled.

"We talked about putting a good one together and we did put a good one together," he stated, already
looking ahead at their next game against Barako Bull in Panabo City on Saturday.

"I hope we can play better then than what we did today," said Cone. "I'm pleased with our effort,
especially our defense."

Lassiter scored 13 of his team-high 15 points in the second half and had Sean Anthony as main
partner during a torrid run that brought Powerade within 65-74, still 7:08 remaining in the game.

Anthony had two triples and eight of his total 13 points while Lassiter added six points off his
three steals in that stretch that whittled what was a 68-48 B-Meg lead after the third period.

Then Urbiztondo buried a wide open trey and found Simon for a triple and a layup that jacked their
lead back up to 17.

"We were holding the ball too long, allowing us to get rushed," said Cone. "Then Josh hit that 3 and
Simon hit his own and that settled us back down. That's what our second group was supposed to do."

Devance's four points came during an 8-5 surge that put the outcome fully beyond doubt 90-70, only
2:22 left.

David missed his first six shots and wound up with seven points. He did not buy a baskiet until the
last 6:43 mark of the third period and wound up shooting 3-for-13 from the field for his lowest
output in the last five conferences.

JVee Casio was also shaky in only his second game from the knee injury that sidelined him in
Powerade's first three games. The star playmaker for the national team missed his first six shots
and wound up with only five points.

The burden of providing the needed points fell on the shoulders of Anthony, who had a triple in a
7-0 run winding up the third canto that cut what was an imposing 41-68 deficit.

It was Yap in the first quarter before Simon took the lead in the second period. The two-time MVP
scattered 12 of his points in the opening period, including five that sparked a 9-0 run from a 2-5
deficit. He added seven more during a 13-4 close out.

The hole dug by Powerade when it made just three of its first 17 shots got deeper as the game wore
on and as B-Meg grew hotter.

By the time Simon buried his first triple and Rico Maierhofer looped in a twinner, it was a 38-18
difference which B-Meg stretched to 46-25 at the half. The lead got stretched even more when the
Llamados scored the first eight points of the third period. (NC)

The scores:

B-MEG 97 - Simon 21, Yap J. 20, Barroca 11, De Vance 10, Urbiztondo 9, Raymundo 7, Pingris 6, Yap R.
6, Reavis 5, Maierhofer 2, Acuna 0.

POWERADE 80 - Lassiter 15, Anthony 13, Kramer 8, Cruz 8, Lingganay 7, Vanlandingham 7, David 7,

PBA: Rain or Shine vs Powerade Tigers October 9 2011 Result

RAIN or Shine used to break down during crunch time.

Two games into the 2011-12 PBA Philippine Cup, the Elasto Painters have remained rock-solid down the
stretch.

Rain or Shine put together a pair of critical stops late in the game Sunday night, surviving another
tense outing in a 96-93 victory over Powerade and joining Petron Blaze at the top of the standings
with its second straight win before a conference-high 10,121 fans at the Ynares Center in Antipolo
City.

A ballclub not necessarily noted for its defense, the Elasto Painters forced the Tigers to commit a
24-second shot-clock violation with 33 ticks left to play, and Jeff Chan came through with a
perfectly-timed rejection off a potential overtime-sending three-point shot by Gary David at the
deep right corner, securing their second straight win.

David, the reigning scoring champion, actually recovered the ball after the block, but was pressed
for time to launch another attempt, and his shot didn’t even hit the rim as time expired.

In pulling off the win, Rain or Shine escaped another thriller of an encounter just like the
opening-day victory it recorded against Ginebra, 94-93.

“I consider this as a good sign,” said Painters’ coach Yeng Guiao. “We’re winning close
games. Before our tendency was to collapse but now we proved that we can close out close games.”

Rookie Paul Lee, who debuted in sensational manner with 21 points and eight assists, wasn’t at his
finest decision-making form. He took an ill-advised three-point shot late in the game when Powerade
was already at penalty, and failed to get into a rhythm early because of foul trouble.

But the former University of the East standout who was picked No. 2 in the August Draft still came
away with a game-high 19 points marked by his first connection from the three-point area, an output
he shared with Chan.

“Paul Lee made one or two misjudgements,” said Guiao. “He’s still a rookie, but as I said
he’s special. He’s getting together well with our players and maganda naman ang samahan. The
chemistry is getting better.”

Yet it was Lee who gave Rain or Shine the breather it needed. He knocked in two pressure-filled free
throws with 57 seconds to go to make it a 96-93 ball game.

In the ensuing play, the Elasto Painters defended the shaded lane superbly, foiling attempts by
David and Marcio Lassiter for the 24-second turnover.

Rain or Shine was left with 33 seconds in the gameclock, and Lee was the one tasked to take the
shot. But instead of driving to the basket and fishing for a foul, Lee launched a three-point shot
at the top of the key that missed, leaving Powerade with eight seconds and the chance to send the
game into extra time.

Jireh Ibanes fouled Cruz four seconds into the Tigers’ possession, and Powerade’s opening to
send the game into overtime was obvious: convert the first attempt and deliberately miss the second
and hope for an offensive rebound.

But Cruz’s first shot rattled out, forcing him to intentionally muff the second. The incident
nearly turned out to be a blessing in disquise after David grabbed the loose ball. David swiftly set
off to the right corner for the potential game-tying triple, but Chan sprinted to reject the shot.

Gabe Norwood added 11 points which came with 10 rebounds and six assists and Ryan Arana had 10.

Doug Kramer scored 16 points and grabbed 14 boards to lead Powerade while David was held to only 14
points after scoring 31 in a 98-87 win over Shopinas last Wednesday.

The scores:

Rain or Shine 96 - Lee 19, Chan 19, Norwood 11, Arana 10, Quinahan 9, Rodriguez 8, Belga 7, Buenafe
6, Ibanes 3, Cruz 2, Matias 2.

Powerade 93 - Kramer 16, David 14, Anthony 13, Lingganay 12, Lassiter 12, Calimag 11, Cruz 7,
Martinez 3, Adducul 3, Crisano 2, Allera 0, Antonio 0.
