Hong Kong beats Alab Pilipinas in the 2017 ABL opener

MANILA, Philippines - “Almost but not quite.” Tanduay Alab Pilipinas fell in the hands of visiting Hong Kong Eastern Basketball Team, 93-89. Alab Pilipinas however, gave Hong Kong a very good fight and definitely entertained the home crowd on Sunday, November 19 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

It was a good start indeed for Tanduay Alab Pilipinas as the home team opened the 2017 ASEAN Basketball League Season with a quick 5 to nothing run against the Hong Kong Eastern Basketball Team.

Ex-Ginebra and Singapore Slinger Josh Urbiztondo led the early attack and dropped 2 consecutive long bombs but the Lions retaliated immediately spearheaded by their world import Marcus Elliott.

San Miguel Rookie and Eastern heritage import Christian Standhardinger scored against Ivan Johnson under the rim to snatch the lead from Alab Pilipinas 15-14 with 3 minutes remaining in the opener.

Hong Kong intensified its defense against the Philippines in the latter part of the first. With this, the Eastern was rewarded with a 6-point lead, 24-18.

Marcus Elliott posted his double-digit superb performance in the 2nd period and widened Eastern’s lead to 9, 35-26 that signaled Alab Coach Jimmy Alapag to bring his key players Ray Ray Parks and Josh Urbiztondo.

Deadly Oping Sumalinog drained 2 consecutive triples to cut Hong Kong’s lead to just 5. Coach Edu Torres promptly called a halt to stop Philippines’ offensive momentum.

The combination of Marcus Elliott and Tyler Lamb became a major concern for Coach Jimmy Alapag. Alab was able to bring the lead down to just 2 but Eastern’s imports were simply unstoppable from both the shaded area and rainbow country. After the first 20 minutes, Hong Kong led Philippines 54-43.

Alab’s another world import Reggie Okosa and Ray Ray Parks became more active at the start of the third quarter but Christian Standhardinger and Marcus Elliott did the same to Philippines and managed to preserve their wide margin.

At the 3:10 mark, Ivan Johnson trimmed the lead to 8 with a drive to the left. Reggie Okosa added 2 more via unsportsmanlike free throws.

Slowly but surely, Alab Pilipinas was getting back on track. The once 15-point Hong Kong lead was downsized to 5, 73-68 at the end of the third.

Alab Pilipinas started the final quarter hot. Josh Urbiztondo sank another three pointer followed by Ray Ray Parks’ and one for the lead, 74-73. It was Philippines’ first lead since the early phase of the 1st period.

Alab’s lead was cut short by Ryan Moss, the 43 year old world import of Hong Kong. Just couple of minutes after Philippines took the lead, Eastern was again up by 8 points.
At the final 2 minutes of the game, Hong Kong’s lead was still 6, 87-81.

Alab Pilipinas lost Ivan Johnson due to personal fouls and Dondon Hontiveros has yet to score. Good thing that Pilipinas managed to neutralize Elliott and Lamb that left Eastern’s scoring chores on the shoulders of Moss and Standhardinger.

Reggie Okosa buried his first triple of the game that gave Alab Pilipinas a ray of hope to win the game. 88-86 in favor of Hong Kong with 34 ticks left in the game clock.

Standhardinger connected with a mid-range jumper for the 4-point lead while Ray Ray Parks completed a 3-point basket to cut the Eastern lead to just 1, 90-89.

With just 1 point slim advantage, Hong Kong had 10 seconds in possession. The ball went straight to Christian Standhardinger’s hand and without any hesitation, the Fil-German pulled the trigger for the 92-89 dagger. Josh Urbiztondo took the last shot from the half court and almost made it.

FEU Tamaraws tame ADMU Blue Eagles, force do-or-die

MANILA, Philippines - Fourth-seeded Far Eastern University (FEU) surprised number 1 team Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) and sent the Blue Eagles in a do-or-die game in the UAAP Season 80 Final Four showdown on Sunday, November 19 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

It’s been a day since De La Salle University occupied the first finals spot after eliminating the Adamson University. Today, the Ateneo De Manila University will attempt to secure the last finals seat but the Far Eastern University hopes for an upset and extend the series to a grudge match.

The Blue Eagles welcomed the Tamaraws with a back-to-back three pointers courtesy of Vince Tolentino and Thirdy Ravena. But FEU wasn’t impressed at all. The Tamaraws fired back spearheaded by ex-Ateneo Forward Arvin Tolentino and even led the Eagles by 5.

Shooting guard Alex Inigo found his comfort zone from the outside as he ended the 1st quarter with a smile on his face and 6-point 21-15 FEU lead.

FEU had escalated its margin to 9 but Matt Nieto came back strong as the Eagles started the 2nd period and trimmed the lead down to just 3. Coach Nash Racela alarmed by Ateneo’s run, called for a mandatory timeout to talk things over.

After Racela’s timeout, Nieto again launched a trey for the tie, 24-all with 7 more minutes remaining in the half.

Tamaraws Ron Dennison and Richard Escoto answered Matt Nieto’s outside sniping and brought their lead back again to 6.

Thirdy Ravena checked back in and made a couple of baskets to cut the number to just a single shot, 38-35 as the 1st half clock expired.

Eagle Anton Asistio immediately released a long shot right after the ball was inbounded at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Ron Dennison however, countered with 2 triples followed by an up and under hoop to escalate their advantage to 10.

Under 2 minutes of the 3rd period, FEU maintained its double-digit lead by tightening its defense on Ateneo and savored its rival’s missed shots from all angles of the court. At the end of the penultimate quarter, the Tamaraws once again led the Eagles 59-48.

Arvin Tolentino kept his team up as he initiated the run and gun plays. The 6’5” forward did the dirty jobs defensively and converted them to points off turnovers. Ateneo on the other hand, started to lose the fight little by little as turnovers and blank shots continued to pile up.

Desperate to find an antidote against FEU’s onslaught, Coach Tab Baldwin tried to field in 4 guards and an undersized center to counter Tamaraw’s own run plays. But it just backfired as they lacked height in grabbing the boards and gave FEU the advantage to bucket second-chance points.

As the coliseum barker announced the 2-minute warning, FEU’s lead had gone up to 17 and as the final horn was blown, the Tamaraws scored a win, 80-67 against the top-seeded Blue Eagles and forced a win-or-go-home game number 2 come Wednesday, November 23 where the winner will face the defending champions De La Salle University Green Archers.
