(From PBA Online)
Alaska continued its mastery over Coca-Cola after posting a 108-98 win Wednesday night in the KFC-Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Fiesta Cup at the Araneta Coliseum.
Cyrus Baguio delivered an almost perfect performance with a conference-high 28 points on 13-of-15 shooting from the floor as the Aces notched their second straight win for a 6-4 mark.
"Cyrus had a big night for us," said Alaska mentor Tim Cone, who was far satisfied from their defensive effort.
"It didn't really go the way I wanted it to. I think we could have made it better defensively. We wanted our team to win with our defense. We have to be able to defend the top offensive teams like Talk ‘N Text and San Miguel if we want to go farther in this conference," he added.
Baguio erupted for 19 points in the first period, hitting his first 9 attempts to help Alaska gain control of the game.
"'Yung unang tira ko, ‘yun ang parang nagbigay ng confidence sa akin," said Baguio. "Medyo sinuwerte kaya I grabbed the chance."
From there, the Aces never relinquished the lead and even led by as much as 14 points late in the fourth quarter.
Diamon Simpson added 18 points while Joe Devance and LA Tenorio contributed 13 points apiece for the Aces, who beat Coke in their first encounter by 1 point on Simpson's buzzer-beater dunk from a perfect inbound pass from Tony dela Cruz.
The Tigers have now lost 7 of their last 8 games to go down deeper in the team standing with a 4-7 slate.
