Rain or Shine humbles Air21
Alaska nips powerhouse San Miguel
By Cedelf P. Tupas
Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines-Rookie-laden Rain or Shine saw pretty much what to expect in the new Philippine Basketball Association season against the Air21 Express- bullying, extremely rough play and versatile players.
Through it all, the Elastopainters kept their composure, showing the league a stylish, free-wheeling type of basketball anchored on their talented rookiesin a 120-102 demolition of the Express Sunday night at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.
With all the hype centered on top draft pick Gabe Norwood, Solomon Mercado made the most out of the little attention given him by unleashing 29 points andseven rebounds in a sensational KFC-PBA Philippine Cup debut.
The 5-foot-11 Mercado mocked defenders thrown at him to bury eight of 13 field goals, including five triples, and went 8-of-10 from the stripe on his way toposting the highest output by a rookie since Asi Taulava scored 32 in his debut against Tanduay in 1999.
In the second game, Alaska came back from as many as 19 down in the first half and turned back powerhouse San Miguel, 85-84.

| ALASKA SCORES COME-FROM-BEHIND SQUEAKER |
| Aces bungle endgame FTs but hang on to win |
| Monday, 06 October 2008 |
| Willie Miller couldn't convert a basket at endgame but grabbed a crucial loose ball as Alaska Milk completed a stirring 85-84 come-from-behind win over San Miguel Beer in the KFC PBA Philippine Cup at the Astrodome Sunday night. The Aces overcame an early 19-point deficit for a triumphant debut in the all-Filipino tourney where they finished fourth the last time behind the Sta. Lucia Realtors, the Purefoods Giants and the Red Bull Barakos. 
Miller muffed two three-point attempts and missed on a drive in the final minute but himself clinched the victory for the Aces as he grabbed the loose ball after two missed free throws by Jeffrey Cariaso with seven seconds left to play. Desperately fouled by a San Miguel defender with five-tenths of a second left, Sonny Thoss, missing the front-end of his charities, deliberately bungled his second shot for the final count. "We want to be the top free-throw shooting team this year but I don't think it's gonna happen," laughed Alaska coach Tim Cone. The Aces shot 46.2 percent from the stripe, with the Beermen far better, hitting at a 93.3-percent clip. The Aces, however, banked on a torrid field-goal shooting as they came charging back from a 19-point deficit to pull the rug from under the Beermen, who set out as among the top favorites to win the crown. "I would say it's a good fightback for us. We're shell-shocked on how the way Bonbon Custodio and Jonas Villanueva came out. We'd lost huge energy level but we made a big fightback," said Cone. The Aces used a swashbuckling run late in the third period to get back into the game then hung tough the rest of the way. "It's a kind of game you couldn't give your new guys the opportunity to get the feel of the game. But I do believe Joe Devance is gonna be a huge factor for us," said Cone. Devance, acquired by Alaskafrom Rain or Shine for Solomon Mercado and Eddie Laure, played 24 minutes, contributing four rebounds, two points, one assist and one steal. Ervin Sotto and Kelvin dela Pena were kept on the bench. Larry Fonacier, John Ferriols and Tony dela Cruz teamed up in a 15-2 closing run in the third as Alaska drew within four, 59-63, going into the payoff period. After playing catch-up basketball from the early goings, the Aces finally regained the lead at 65-63 on back-to-back three-pointers by Jeffrey Cariaso and Fonacier to start the final canto. San Miguel jumped the gun on Alaska and took the half at 48-39 on a searing offense spiked by a perfect shooting by Villanueva. The former FEU mainstay was 2-of-2 from the three-point land, 1-of-1 from the two-point zone and 2-of-2 from the stripe to lead the Beermen with 10 points in the first 24 minutes of play. Villanueva actually put in all those efforts right in the first quarter which ended at 31-16 on San Miguel's favor. The Beermen shot well from the field to make up for a poor rebounding in the opening half. (NC) The scores: Alaska 85 -- Miller 17, Dela Cruz 15, Fonacier 12, Ferriols 12, Hugnatan 11, Tenorio 7, Cariaso 7, Devance 2, Thoss 2. San Miguel 84 -- Custodio 14, Pena 13, Hontiveros 11, Villanueva 10, Seigle 9, Cortez 8, Gonzales 7, Pingris 4, Washington 3, Pennisi 3, Bono 2, Racela 0. Quarterscores: 16-31, 39-48, 59-63, 85-84 |

| DEPLETED GINEBRA SQUAD STUNS STA. LUCIA |
| Kings outsteady defending champs in the stretch |
| Thursday, 09 October 2008 |
| Barangay Ginebra picked up from where it left off last season, starting its campaign in the KFC PBA Philippine Cup with an 89-86 decision over tournament ruler Sta. Lucia Realty Wednesday night at the Araneta Coliseum. The Kings, the Fiesta Cup winners, showed up the Realtors in an exciting duel of champions, coming from behind to win the game despite a lineup sans injured key players Mark Caguioa, Junthy Valenzuela, Rafi Reavis and Billy Mamaril. Jayjay Helterbrand, the Best Player in the recent import-reinforced tourney, led the way for the Kings as he made 21 of his 26 points in the final half. The spitfirish guard scattered 12 in the third fueling a mighty charge that got the Kings into the game after trailing by 10 points, 35-45, at the half. Junjun Cabatu, Paul Artadi and Sunday Salvacion put in their shares at the finish as Ginebra completed the stirring come-from-behind victory to get a share of early league leadership with Talk n Text, Rain or Shine, Alaska and Purefoods. "Sta. Lucia dominated the game and we just got the lead at the right time," said Ginebra coach Jong Uichico, trying to downplay the impact of their victory. "But of course we wanted to win our first game to get our confidence high while setting out in this tourney minus four key players," Uichico added. "We want to be as consistent as possible until our lineup gets completed." The Kings overcame a faltering start as they capitalized on crucial errors by the Realtors at endgame. Back-to-back errors by Dennis Espino had the Kings scoring four free throws on their offensive end to take an 87-81 lead with 34 seconds to go. The Realtors still closed in at 86-88 on a five-point binge by Paolo Mendoza coming off the bench. After Salvacion made it 89-86 on a split from the stripe, the Realtors eventually lost the contest with Kelly Williams fumbling a long Sta. Lucia throw-in while looking for a possible quick three-pointer. Paul Artadi went 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, 4-of-6 from the two-point zone and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line to match his career-high 18 points. "Meron pang hangover nung Fiesta Conference finals. Mataas pa rin ang kumpiyansa ko," said Artadi, picking up the slack on the ouster of Helterbrand in Game Two of the recent finale against the Air21 Express. Kelly Williams and Ryan Reyes, the MVP winner and Rookie of the Year awardee last campaign, combined for 33 points, 26 rebounds, four assists and three steals for the Realtors. The Sta. Lucia starters outclassed their Ginebra counterparts in the first half, delivering the bulk of the numbers as the Realtors took a 45-35 lead at turn. Dennis Espino and Reyes led the way for the team with the former scoring 12 points and the latter producing eight points, eight rebounds and three steals. Denok Mendoza was scoreless but quarterbacked well a running game giving Sta. Lucia a 9-2 edge in fastbreak points. (NC) The scores: Ginebra 89 -- Helterbrand 26, Artadi 18, Salvacion 14, Cabatu 8, Pacana 6, Holper 6, Menk 4, Tubid 3, Wilson 2, Crisano 2, Aquino 0, Escalona 0. Sta. Lucia 86 -- Reyes 17, Williams 16, Espino 16, Omolon 8, Coronel 6, Gonzales 6, Mendoza 5, Miranda 4, Yeo 3, Aquino 3, Daa 2, Gregorio 0. Quarterscores: 21-25, 35-45, 65-66, 89-86 |
