Positive ang debut nina coach Charles Tiu at import James Dickey III sa PBA, kinubra ng Phoenix ang panalo 101-98 laban sa bigating Magnolia sa Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup sa Ninoy Aquino Stadium nitong Biyernes ng gabi.
Tumabo si Dickey ng 20 points, 26 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal at 1 block kontra 5 turnovers.
“I noticed that, kinda cool, huh,” natatawang pahayag ni Dickey sa postgame presser. “If I continue to that, that’s great. But I’m a winner so I just wanna win.”
Kinamada ni Dickey ang 10 points sa third quarter, binak-apan ng 8 ni Kai Ballungay at mula sa 50-48 deficit sa halftime ay inagaw ang trangko 79-72 papasok ng fourth.
Bumakas si Jason Perkins ng 19 points – 9 dito sa final period para salagin ang tangkang balik ng Hotshots. Tumapos si Ballungay ng 12 markers, 7 boards. May 12 at 6 din si Ken Tuffin, tig-10 sina Evan Nelle at Riccy Rivero.
Hindi na mapakali si Tiu pagdating ng fourth, habang lamang pa sila ay gusto na niyang matapos ang laro.
“When the game ended in the first quarter we were up,” aniya. “And then we were up in the fourth, I thought they would gonna make a run. Lucky enough we made stops in the end.”
Mula sa biggest deficit na 92-79 sa bukana ng fourth, nailapit ng Magnolia sa one-possession game 98-96 sa sagasa ni Jerom Lastimosa 52 seconds pa.
Sumagot ng drive si Nelle para ilayo sa apat, ang layup na lang ni Anunwa Omot ang naidagdag ng Hotshots.
Halatang naubusan na ng hangin sa dulo si replacement import Omot pero tumapos ng game-high 27 points para sa Magnolia. May 19 si Zav Lucero, 18 markers at 9 rebounds kay Lastimosa. (Vladi Eduarte)
