PBA UPDATE!! DECEMBER 25 CHRISTMAS WARS!
DEFENDING champion Barangay Ginebra defeated league leader Purefoods with a nail-biting 100-98 win in the 2007-08 PBA Smart Philippine Cup Christmas offering before an overflow crowd at the Araneta Coliseum.
Sunday Salvacion buried a three-pointer with 57.4 seconds to go that gave the Kings the lead, 95-93, while Rafi Reavis provided the defensive stops down the stretch to snatch the victory.
The Kings improved their win-loss record to 7-8, while derailing the Giants’ bid for earning at least a playoff berth for one of the two outright semifinal seats. It also avenged a humiliating 103-76 first round setback.
“It’s a good Christmas gift,” Ginebra coach Jong Uichico said, whose team improved to 3-1 on Christmas Day games.
But the Kings were able to cut it to 42-38 before settling for a 48-41 count at the half.
Things got a little tense with 4:11 left in the second period with Purefoods ahead, 33-41, when Tubid and rookie Ardy Larong got tangled under the Ginebra basket.
The Giants shot 41.5 percent (17-of-41) from the field while the Kings made 36.1 percent (13-of-36) of their shots. Purefoods also outrebounded Ginebra in the first half, 31 to 21. (WG)
The scores:
Ginebra 100 – Salvacion 21, Menk 21, Tubid 18, Helterbrand 13, Reavis 10, Macapagal 6, Artadi 6, Mamaril 3, Aquino 2.

Purefoods power line-up James yap, k raymundo, roger yap , peter june simon , with the returning mark pingris and "the general" Romel adducul dominates the entire pba, with a good team chemistry they prove themselves worthy for a title shot.
the latest news is the return of mark "the spark" Caguioa. Mark Caguioa came out flat in his return from a six-game layoff. Worse, the Kings conked out at endgame as they suffered a fifth loss in seven games – just half-game in front of cellar-dweller Coca-Cola at 1-5.
Hit by a shoulder injury in the recent Fiba-Asia championship in Tokushima, Caguioa returned to action for the Kings in a game marked by several player hard falls, at least two heated confrontations and no less than four technical fouls.
The Express overcame the Kings in the tense and rugged contest, scoring some measure of revenge against the team which swept them in four matches last season.
"This is a big win coming at the expense of Ginebra which we’d never beaten in a while. Na-break na namin ang jinx," said Air21 coach Bo Perasol.
"It’s also a big win because we snapped a two-game slump. Tuwing natatalo kami, nagkakaroon ng kung anong issue. Ang sabi ko lang isang panalo lang ang kailangan at tapos uli ang usapan," Perasol added.
Ranidel de Ocampo and Arwind Santos each scored 23 points and helped fuel the Air21 uprising, combining for 15 in the payoff period.
Jayjay Helterbrand scored 22 points to pace the Kingswho drew only six points from Caguioa, the league two-time reigning scoring champ.
Caguioa was 0-of-3 from the three-point range and 1-of-2 from the two-point zone in the first half taken by the Kings at 48-42.
The Kings enjoyed the six-point lead at halftime with Mike Holper, Sunday Salvacion and Helterbrand delivering for the team early on.
Holper was 3-of-5 from the field and knocked in three charities while Salvacion nailed two triples, a twinner and a foul shot as they made nine points each in the first 24 minutes of play.
The Kings engaged the Express in two deadlocks and five lead changes and surged ahead at the half although worse in shooting with a 37.2 percent clip as against the Air21’s 40.5-percent marksmanship. (NC)

San Beda Red Lions Sweep the Letran Knights For Back to Back Title!
San Beda College is on its way on fulfilling its destiny to become a dynasty, overcoming Colegio de San Juan de Letran, 76-64, for the Red Lions’ second consecutive NCAA seniors basketball diadem on September 26 at the Araneta Coliseum.

With Letran coming within five late in the third quarter, the Lions held off the Knights in the payoff period with Rogemar Menor scoring 12 points. His three-point attempt that bounced off the rim before going in gave San Beda a 13-point lead, 64-51, 6:45 in the game, forcing CSJL seniors basketball coach Louie Alas to call a timeout.
The finals MVP stole one at midcourt for an uncontested layup, which spawned a 7-0 run to put away the game for good with John Paul Escobal putting the icing with two freethrows against Reymar Gutilban's fifth personal foul, 71-55, 4:16.
"It feels great and very rewarding. I have to give it to the players. They have confidence at may puso," sighed a relieved SBC men's basketball mentor Frankie Lim. "Do no doubt yourself. Kung gusto niyong tumira, take good shots."
Alas concurred, "We just lost to a very strong team. You have to give it to them. Napakalakas ng kanilang personnel. Sa aking opinyon, sila ang strongest collegiate team sa Pilipinas."
Menor, who won two finals MVP and a season MVP as a Red Cub, was the main Lion with 25 points on 11/16 shooting along with three rebounds, two steals, and two assists.
"Hell of a player. No one in Letran can stop Menor," Lim described his third year star.
"Sobrang saya. Naulit ulit iyong dynasty namin sa juniors," Menor, who was with the NCAA juniors champion teams from 2003-2005, observed on his fortunes. "Iyong juniors lamang daw ako (skills-wise). Sa seniors, pantay na labanan."
Yousif Aljamal suited up for his final game as an amateur, finishing with 24 points, ten boards, three feeds, two steals, and two blocks on 37 well-played minutes.
"Kay coach inoffer ang championship," Aljamal shared. The 24-year old would again team up with his current mentor, who is also the team manager of the Talk 'N Text Phonepals in the PBA. "Sana madala ko sa PBA ito (confidence)."
"It would always be nice to get back to your alma mater. I want to give back to the school," the rookie guru said. "I am just blessed to have 15 intelligent players."
The red and white shot 52% at the two-point area, while also amassing 50 caroms, 20 dimes, seven cookies, nine rejections, 16 fastbreak points, and 19 turnover points.
"This victory is for everybody," Lim doled out. "For the Bedan community and the supporters."
On the other hand, Bryan Faundo led the Knights with 17 points and ten rebounds, while RJ Jazul netted 14 markers. As a team, the red and blue made 35% of their field goals.
"You have to feel good on the defeat," Alas opined. "I will remember this day. This is the defining moment to come back next year."
Lim, who experienced back-to-back championships as a player and now as a tactician stated, "Both are great. Since this is my first time as a coach, this is sweeter."
Alas looked back, "Iyong game one ang crucial. Sa ganyang kalakas na team, mahirap talunin ng back-to-back."
This is the Lions' 13th seniors cage crown, just behind the 15 of Letran College.
Adjudged as the coach of the year, the fiery Lim gave what might have been the strangest description of how it feels winning a championship after he was asked what his emotions were after getting the victory ride at the buzzer, "Feeling ko parang akong bagong kasal."
Meanwhile, Alas described the mood in the locker, "Malungkot sila for Mikko (Quinday)."
Quinday used up his eligibility this year.
Do-it-all Mapua Institute of Technology point guard Kelvin dela Peña was awarded the MVP of the season. He was joined by Aljamal, Faundo, Dino Daa, and Marvin Hayes of Jose Rizal University in the mythical team.
Other awardees include Hayes as most improved player, Dave Marcelo as rookie of the year, and Jason Ballesteros of San Sebastian College Recoletos as defensive player of the year.
Rey Dangcal's split at the trip 3:56 of the first quarter was the last time CSJL enjoyed the upper hand before SBC released a 15-0 finishing kick with Riego Gamalinda scoring the last six points, 26-12.
"We started strong," Lim remarked as the key point of the contest. "We tried to match the intensity of Letran."
Faundo's charities off a Menor personal made it 24-34, 4:16 in the second. Menor was responsible for five points in a 7-0 mini-run to give the Mendiola-based squad its highest lead of 17.
After Escobal launched a three to make it 52-35 midway of the third period, Letran had a quiet 12-0 blast with Jazul starting the rally and the Muralla-based gallery momentarily waking up when John Melegrito scored four quick points, 1:38 in the clock. The Lions doused the fire in the succeeding possession when Escobal sighted Aljamal at the apex of the arc for a triple with just one second remaining in the shot clock.
"Definitely we will not look for a foreigner as long as ako ang mag-decide," Alas glimpsed ahead. "Pwede sa akin Fil-foreigner."
As for the champs, Lim mentioned, "Pahinga muna. Give them a good rest."

San Beda Takes First Game! REDLIONS (1) vs KNIGHTS(0)
San Beda College went alive in the fourth quarter to defeat Colegio de San Juan de Letran and take the first game of the NCAA seniors basketball finals, 76-68, at the Araneta Coliseum on September 19. The Knights settled for freethrows for four minutes of the payoff quarter as SBC released a 10-4 run ending with a Sam Ekwe follow off Ogie Menor’s missed lay, 72-61, :50 left in the game. This was also the biggest lead of the game which featured 11 deadlocks and eight lead changes.
“It was not easy. That is a fact,” relayed San Beda seniors basketball coach Frankie Lim. “We struggled offensively in the first three quarters because of the defense of Letran.”
Menor led the Red Lions with Ogie Menor scoring 23 points on 10/14 shooting on 31 minutes.
“Medyo relax kami,” Menor echoed. “Ginising kami ni coach. Kailangang pantayin namin intensity nila.”
The third year swingman provided the wake up call, driving off two Knights at the middle of the lane. He then followed it up with a three at the top of the key, receiving a handoff and a screen from Borgie Hermida, giving the San Beda gallery a kiss, 58-53, 6:38 of the fourth quarter.
“Kailangan kong itira dahil iyon ang play,” Menor mentioned. “Malaki tiwala ni coach sa akin.”
Pong Escobal produced 17 points, going 6/11, seven rebounds, five assists, and eight turnovers. Ekwe went without rest for 14 markers, 18 boards, and four blocks. Yousif Aljamal made 12.
Four of the five starters logged at least 30 minutes.
“Kung hindi kami nagkaroon ng lapses,” CSJL mentor Louie Alas thought loudly. “Mental lapse lang talaga. Doon kami nag-error.”
RJ Jazul had 17 points, five rebounds, and five miscues. Rey Guevarra was the other double digit scorer for the Muralla-based squad with 11. Bryan Faundo finished with nine and seven boards.
“We just played 36 minutes of good basketball,” Alas philosophized.
Game two of the storied rivalry would be on September 26 at the Big Dome with the third match slated on September 28. It seems that everybody is on the same page on what to expect next week.
“I will be expecting a harder second game next week,” Lim stated.
“Expect ko sa game two mas grabe sa intensity,” Menor concurred.
“We just have to execute 40 minutes,” shared Alas. “We just have to win on Wednesday and everybody’s ballgame na sa third game.”
The first quarter started off on equal footing, having four ties. With both sides working to a 12-all count, the blue and red scorched an 11-2 ram to finish off the final three minutes of the period. Kirk del Rosario fed to Dino Daa, who was free underneath for lay in, :37 in the clock.
The Mendiola side then retaliated with a 16-2 start in the second. Escobal quickly advanced upcourt to avert the pressure then passed off to Menor for a quick release three at the side, 30-25, 3:44.
Scoring became scarce in the third canto as two consecutive Ekwe sky hooks provided the only highlight for the ten-minute period to have the Lions go up, 46-42, 3:53. The last time Letran was ahead, it was from a Jazul inside basket, battling against giants, after grabbing the offensive board, 51-50, one minute elapsed in the final quarter.
Aljamal’s three-pointer at the summit was the battle’s last lead change, 53-51, 8:15.
“Looking at Wednesday, we will go for it,” Lim predicted.
