Ginebra's Brumfield puts Kings at third with 30 points

source: philstar.com

Nate Brumfield came through with another solid all-around game and himself took charge at the finish, leading Barangay Ginebra to a 95-90 win over Rain or Shine in a PBA Commissioner’s Cup road game at the Panabo Multi-Purpose Center in Panabo, Davao del Norte last night.

 

Brumfield scattered 30 points, including all but two of Ginebra’s last nine points that likewise preserved the sterling efforts put up by Ronald Tubid, Rudy Hatfield and Jimbo Aquino in the Phoenix Fuel-sponsored out-of-town setto.

The well-built Ginebra import got away with a three-point play and four charities as he personally held off the Elasto Painters at the finish, allowing the Kings to close in on the playoffs with a 5-2 win-loss card.

Ginebra once again drew level with Alaska Milk at third place as it kept on going, nailing a fourth win in a row.

The Elasto Painters, on the other hand, suffered a fourth straight defeat and slid to joint fifth with the B-MEG Derby Ace Llamados at 3-4.

The Llamados seek solo fifth as they go up against the embattled San Miguel Beermen at the resumption of play tonight at the Araneta Coliseum.

Smart Gilas plays minus injured naturalized player Marcus Douthit as it tangles with Powerade in the other game.

Beaten by Llamados after the early exit of Douthit Wednesday, the Nationals hope to regain their winning ways and stay on track in the fight for the two outright seats in the semifinals.

The Tigers, at 2-5, and the Beermen, at 1-6, are out to save whatever is left of their faltering hopes.

The Kings enhanced their playoff aspiration as they came out strong, led by as many as 13 at 72-59 and showed staying power in the face of the Elasto Painters’ searing endgame charge.

Tubid went 4-of-6 from the three-point area and finished with 16 points and nine rebounds while Aquino and Hatfield added 10 points apiece.

After a long chase, the Elasto Painters drew even at 79 on a follow-up shot by Beau Belga on a missed jumper by Hassam Adams with 6:50 left to play.

The Kings regained control at 86-79 on an eight-to-nothing binge by Tubid and Mark Caguioa, but the Elasto Painters made another hurrah, rallying to within one at 85-86.

Just refusing to give up, the Elasto Painters eventually kissed their bid goodbye when Gabe Norwood committed a crucial error with RoS trailing by three, 90-93, with time down to 13 seconds.

Quickly fouled in the next play, Brumfield buried the two charities to clinch the win.

We are finding ways to negate what advantages Smart Gilas has over us. If we can find it within ourselves to fight and compete, I really believe that we can win,” said Powerade coach Bo Perasol.

Powerade top official JB Baylon has given up hopes after the team’s 88-111 rout by Meralco Wednesday. The loss relegated the Tigers to joint eighth with the Air21 Express at 2-5.

With that loss dimming our second conference prospects, we will now focus on searching for the winning import and team spirit for the third conference,” said Baylon in a text message.

But Douthit’s absence could be the big break Powerade is looking for to check its slump.

“Powerade has good players. They can spread their offense because they have players who can shoot from the outside,” said Toroman.
