TOP PERFORMERS OF THE DAY:
George King SMB SG 44 PTS | 5 REB | 5 AST | 65.5 FPS
The SMB import put on another offensive showcase, powering his way against Terrafirma for his third 40-point performance of the conference. He set the tone early with 10 points in the first quarter before doing most of his damage in the middle periods, where he scored 30.
Joshua Eugene Munzon TGR SF 33 PTS | 4 AST | 3 STL | 53.6 FPS
Offensively, Munzon has been particularly effective in recent games. After a strong scoring performance against Converge, he took things up another notch today, recording 16 points in the first half before finishing with a new season-high. He was sharp from two-point range, shooting 7-of-10 and was even more impressive at the line, making 13-of-14 attempts.
Deonte Burton NLX PG 21 PTS | 9 REB | 7 AST | 53.3 FPS
Through two games, Burton has already made his mark, delivering standout all-around production. He was once again effective on both ends of the floor today, scoring 11 points in the third quarter to finish as the team’s leading scorer while also putting up elite defensive numbers.
Maverick Ahanmisi TER PG 23 PTS | 6 REB | 9 AST | 50.7 FPS
This was another quality performance for the Terrafirma guard. Once again, he stood out offensively, shooting efficiently from all levels and recording his fifth 20-point outing of the conference while leading all players in assists.
Tirrell Dwayne Brown II TGR PF 29 PTS | 8 REB | 1 STL | 40.6 FPS
Titan kept pace with top-seeded NLEX early in the contest with Brown leading the way, scoring 19 first half points on a crisp 8-for-11 shooting. Despite the loss, he managed to finish strong, posting his seventh game with at least 25 points this conference.
June Mar Fajardo SMB C 25 PTS | 12 REB | 2 AST | 40.4 FPS
The nine-time MVP put on a show against Terrafirma. He took command in the second quarter, scoring 13 points to push his team ahead before finishing with a new conference-high. On the boards, Fajardo has made a much bigger impact lately, averaging 14.2 rebounds in their last five games.
Robert Lee Bolick NLX PG 20 PTS | 5 REB | 8 AST | 36.0 FPS
From the three-point range, Bolick continues to have a tough time, converting just 4-of-20 attempts over his last four games. But he remained effective on two-pointers, going 6-for-6 against Titan to record his fourth 20-point outing of the conference.
Jaymar Perez SMB SG 22 PTS | 5 REB | 3 AST | 33.5 FPS
The star guard continues to produce for SMB, finishing as one of the top scorers while also contributing in multiple ways. In five games that he was healthy this conference, Perez has consistently delivered averaging 23.4 points.
Louelljay Gonzales NLX PG 17 PTS | 3 REB | 2 STL | 28.1 FPS
Gonzales was much more effective on offense today after a modest scoring performance in their last outing. He was highly efficient from two, shooting 5-of-6, and perfect at the free-throw line, making all seven attempts. He continues to be a steady two-way contributor for NLEX this conference, averaging 12.7 points and 1.5 steals per game.
Aristotle Dionisio TGR PF 16 PTS | 4 REB | 1 BLK | 26.8 FPS
Dionisio provided a strong boost for Titan off the bench. He did most of his damage from the line, hitting 8-of-10 while adding two triples for his second straight game with at least 15 points.
Kevin Louie Alas NLX PG 19 PTS | 4 REB | 1 STL | 25.8 FPS
The veteran point guard was a major factor in their win against Titan. He started strong with 10 first half points on perfect 4-for-4 shooting and finished strong, matching his conference-high.
Juan Miguel Tiongson TER PG 10 PTS | 4 AST | 2 STL | 20.4 FPS
In their first meeting against SMB, Tiongson went off, scoring 27 points while hitting five three-pointers. It was the complete opposite, this time, however. He was unable to find his rhythm, finishing with one of his lowest scoring games of the conference.
Robert Conrad Herndon NLX SF 16 PTS | 2 REB | 1 STL | 20.4 FPS
In his last two games, Herndon has stepped up nicely for NLEX. Against Macau, he contributed positively across the board and delivered offensively today, shooting 6-for-7 from the field for a season-best performance.
Celedonio Trollano SMB SF 13 PTS | 1 AST | 2 STL | 19.7 FPS
Since the break, Trollano has been playing below his usual standard. Still, he made a positive impact today, going 5-for-7 from the field and leading all bench players in scoring.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE DAY:
Deschon Winston NLX SG 9 PTS | 4 AST | 1 STL | 19.4 FPS
This performance was far from his usual level this conference. He struggled offensively, shooting just 4-of-10 and matching his conference-low while also contributing little across the board.
