Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings vs Alaska Aces Result: A sweep ?
Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings vs Alaska Aces Result: A sweep ?
Import Rob Dozier delivered one of his best performances in the PBA, probably the last one as the Alaska Aces trounced Barangay Ginebra, 104-80, in Game 3 of the best-of-five Commissioners' Cup.
Dozier had 27 points and 20 rebounds to dominate for the Aces as Barangay Ginebra couldn't stop him. Dozier also made an impact in helping his team to be aggressive on the defense. Also, Calvin Abueva scored 22 points to complement the high octane game of Dozier. Abueva's energy paved the way for Ginebra to have the edge in terms of the speed of the game.
This is the 14th title of Alaska and the first time without coach Tim Cone. Alaska was coached by Luigi Trillio to complete the 3-0 sweep in the Commissioners Finals.
LA Tenorio scored 18 points while Mark Caquiao had 12 points for the cause of the Kings. However, the effort in shutting down the offense of the Aces was not sufficent to extend the series.
Ginebra coach Al Francis Chua did everything in his lineup to shake up an to find the right combinations but of no avail.

Ginebra vs Alaska: PBA Commisioners Cup Finals 2013, Preview and Results
Ginebra vs Alaska: PBA Commisioners Cup Finals 2013, Preview and Results
All set for the PBA Commissioners Cup 2013 as Barangay Ginebra and Alaska Aces collide in Game 1 Wednesday night. It is considered to be a perfect series that is dwindled into a best-of-five.
Ginebra entered into the Finals by overpowering Talk N Text in Game Five of the series. Coach Al Francis Chua did stir up the fighting spirits of the Kings as they climbed the big mountain against Norman Black's team. Showing resiliency in times of trouble, the Ginebra Kings will have to be relying on Kirby Raymundo and the shooting power of Jayjay Helterbrand without star Mark Caguioa.
The Kings accepted already the fact that they can play to the high degree without Caguioa as they found out that they can increase the level of the energy through import Vernon Macklin and LA Tenorio. Furthermore, the Kings can maintain a significant lead and they can rally if they are pushed into a big deficit.
On the other hand, Alaska is not a pushover team. With Cyrus Baguio and Sonny Thoss playing significantly comfortable, the Aces can distance themselves early in the game. Also, the defensive game of Calvin Abueva will be important in toppling the offense of Helterbrand.
Alaska import Rob Dozier will have to do the scoring and the rebounding to extend his help for the Aces to be formidable in Game One. More importantly, his defense is needed to nullify whatever the deficiency of his teammates.
I don't know who will win Game 1, it's a toss up. I will provide you the Ginebra vs Alaska results here.
