Cory Jefferson flashes potential as Alaska pounces on Terrence Romeo-less Globalport, ALASKA pounced on a fellow shorthanded GlobalPort side, cruising to a 107-79 victory on Saturday at the Cuneta Astrodome to start its PBA Commissioner’s Cup campaign on a high note.
Facing a Batang Pier side without one-half of the “Slash Brothers” in Terrence Romeo due to an unspecified illness, the Aces zoomed to an early lead and refused to let up to coast to the blowout win.
Cory Jefferson showed he’s a worthy last-minute replacement import as he registered 28 points and 14 boards, while Calvin Abueva provided the spark off the bench anew and tallied 15 points, seven boards, and four assists as the duo led an Aces side that was also undermanned without injured Vic Manuel, JVee Casio, Dondon Hontiveros, and Noy Baclao.
Thoss hits then Racal makes a three in transition; 101-74 Aces lead, Abueva! 96-74 Alaska lead. Thoss buries 16 footer, gives Alaska a 94-74 edge, 4:29 4q , Pascual, Canaleta and Abueva score! 90-74 Alaska lead, 5:20 4q until Wiliams drains short j; GlobalPort behind 72-86.
