MANILA, Philippines – Alaska could do nothing wrong when they crushed Blackwater, 120-82, for their second PBA Philippine Cup win on Tuesday night at the AUF Sports Arena & Cultural Center in Angeles, Pampanga.
Aces rookie Barkley Eboña played his best game yet, leading all scorers with 24 points on 10 of 11 shooting from the field in 24 minutes of action.
Alaska, which improved to 2-2, scored the first nine points of the game and never looked back, taking a 38-17 lead after the opening draw and taking it to 40.
Five more Aces hit double digits with Robbie Herndon scoring 21 points and Vic Manuel posting a near-double-double with 16 points and nine rebounds.
Alaska played like a well-oiled machine, converting 51% of his field goal attempts while dishing out 23 assists with just seven turnovers.
Ed Daquioag led Blackwater (2-2) with 18, but even he struggled offensively with most of his points coming from the free throw line.
All 14 players scored at least two points for the Aces, including Maverick Ahanmisi, who made his bubble debut after missing his team’s first three games.
