25 July: The Amazing Basketball Sunday Recap

Brushing up on this Sunday's games:

UAAP

FEU 94, UP 70

This is an outright display of might for the Tamaraws, flexing their muscles and showing no mercy towards the helpless Maroons. Surprisingly, Terrence Romeo led the Tamaraws with 21 points, while Woody Co sat out midway during the second half, having been diagnosed with plantar fascitis. FEU gets away with an unstained record, while UP is still winless.

Scores:

FEU 94—Romeo 21, Cervantes 18, Garcia 11, Exciminiano 10, Ramos 9, Noundou 8, Cawaling 8, Bringas 6, Cruz 3, Mendoza 0, Foronda 0, Sanga 0, Knuttel 0, Guerrero 0.
UP 70—Reyes Ma. 16, Sison 14, Silungan 11, Lopez 10, Padilla 9, Juruena 4, Saret 2, Reyes Mi. 2, Co 2, Pascual 0, Manuel 0, Evangelista 0, Hipolito 0, Gomez 0.
Quarters: 28-18, 50-33, 71-55, 94-70

Adamson 75, UST 71

The Tigers, with the help of Jeric Fortuna and Jeric Teng, tied the record for most three-pointers in a game with 16. However, these were not enough as lead Falcon Lester Alvarez led the way with 22-points which includes the crucial last-minute baskets. Adamson went up with a 3-1 slate, while UST is at the .500 mark with 2-2.

Scores:

ADAMSON 75—Alvarez 22, Lozada 10, Nuyles 9, Manyara 8, Camson 8, Colina 7, CaƱada 6, Cabrera 3, Stinett 2, Etrone 0, Galinato 0, Basilio 0.
UST 71—Teng 23, Fortuna 15, Camus 11, Bautista 11, Mariano 5, Pe 2, Daquioag 2, Afuang 2, Wong 0, Tinte 0, Mamaril 0, Lo 0.
Quarters: 19-13, 34-32, 52-53, 75-71

NBA (well, FIBA to be exact)

USA White 114, USA Blue 96

The stage is nearly set for the FIBA World Basketball Tournament in Turkey, and it is fitting for coach Mike Krzyzewski to start building the pieces for Team USA. Because there will be no one from the 2008 Redeem Team who will return, the candidates of "Team Reconstruction" played a game to help coach M to choose. Thus, they divided in two and called a Blue vs White battle. And in the end, it was the Kevin Durant-led White Team who totally dumped the Blue of Rudy Gay.

Scores:

White 114 - Durant 28, Iguodala 17, Gordon 16, Rose 15, Curry 14, Chandler 13, Granger 5, Wallace 4, Odom 2

Blue 96 - Gay 23, Mayo 18, Westbrook 14, Green 11, Love 8, Rondo 7, McGee 7, Billups 6, Lopez 2

Quarter scores: 29-23, 56-44, 81-69, 114-96

PBA

Semifinals: San Miguel 74, B-Meg 70

FEU alumnus Arwind Santos hit the last triple of the game to finally complete the comeback for SMB, who trailed by as much as 17 points during the first half. Wingman Dondon Hontiveros scored 17 to lead the balanced Beermen, while it was import Tony Washam who carried the Derby Ace load with 22 points and 13 boards.

Scores:

SMB 74 - Hontiveros 17, Freeman 14, Washington 12, Santos 8, Pena 6, Villanueva 5, Yeo 5, Cabagnot 5, Seigle 2, Racela 0, Ildefonso 0

B-Meg 70 - Washam 22, J. Yap 17, Allado 10, Timberlake 5, Artadi 5, Pingris 4, Canaleta 3, Maierhofer 2, Reavis 2, Salvador 0, R. Yap 0

Quarter scores: 14-24, 33-45, 57-58, 74-70

Semifinals: Alaska 90, Talk n Text 86

With various deadlocks and lead changes big and small, it was Alaska who was favored by the circumstances. Finding themselves behind during the final canto, their first and second stringers woke up and rallied past the Talk N Text Tropang Texters. The biggest moment of the game came when former Blue Eagle L.A. Tenorio hit the game-deciding trey more than two minutes in the ballgame as a response to Tropang Texter Jimmy Alapag. Together with the Beermen, the Aces break the tie, now leading 2-1 into the series.

Scores:

Alaska 90 - Simpson 31, Hugnatan 12, Fonacier 11, Tenorio 9, DeVance 7, Baguio 7, Dela Cruz 6, Thoss 5, Borboran 2

Talk N Text 86 - De Ocampo 18, Alapag 17, Reyes 14, Carey 12, Dilinger 9, Williams 6, Cardona 6, Daniels 4, Castro 0

Quarter scores: 17-24, 40-37, 61-65, 90-86
