Abarrientos, Tubid tow Kings past Bulls

 

December 4, 2009,

 

 

Veteran point guard Johnny Abarrientos quarterbacked Baranhay Ginebra’s offense with aplomb as the Kings downed the Barako Bull Energy Boosters, 88-76, in the KFC-PBA Philippine Cup Friday night at the Araneta Coliseum.

 

Leading a depleted Ginebra squad, Abarrientos displayed his old deadly form in orchestrating the Kings’ running game while scattering six points, issuing six assists and grabbing three rebounds in 29 minutes of action.

 

Ginebra, which boosted its bid for one of two outright Final Four berths, improved its record to 7-3, just two games behind leader Alaska (9-1).

 

Ronald Tubid, despite playing with a dislocated left ring finger, had a gamehigh 30 points for Ginebra on 11-of-20 shooting from the field, including 5-of-10 from the three-point area. Eric Menk had 18 points and 10 boards while JC Intal added 14.

 

Jayjay Helterbrand, the reigning league Most Valuable Player (MVP), sat out another game with a bruised right knee and is expected to miss two more weeks, while Celino Cruz fractured his left wrist in a recent game. The Gin Kings are also without Mark Caguioa who has a knee injury.

Ginebra coach Jong Uichico credited his players for coming out strong despite their injury problems, particularly Abarrientos, who recently came out of retirement to sign a new a contract until the end of the conference.

 

 

GINEBRA 88 — Tubid 30, Menk 18, Intal 14, Salvacion 8, Abarrientos 6, White 4, Villanueva 4, Mamaril 2, Baguio 2, Kramer 0, Alvarez 0.

BARAKO BULL 76 — Najorda 14, Alonzo 12, Aljamal 12, Membrere 10, Hubalde 7, Chia 6, Belano 6, Faundo 4, Menor 2, Dimaunahan 2, Crisano 1, Lao 0.

Quarters: 20-19, 42-36, 68-53, 88-76.
