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


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.

Petron vs Ginebra: Results, Highlights, Balkman was tough

Renato Balkman delivered a magnificent performance by having 34 points and 10 rebounds to help the Petron Blaze Boosters to defeat Barangay Ginebra, 105-90, Sunday night.

 Balkman showed his ability to leap as he drilled in several dunks to derail the defense of Ginebra. He also had two blocks to intensify the defense of the Blaze Boosters as Ginebra couldn't find ways to stay close before the fourth quarter.

 Petron Blaze never looked back after the third quarter when they posted a 86-63 lead that put the dagger when Joseph Yeo scored a triple at the buzzer. It was a big lead for Petron that Ginebra couldn't get back into as they tried to cut that deficit into 13. However, Barangay Ginebra were running out of time to complete a rally as the Boosters stood hard not to give up the advantage.

 Mark Caguioa scored 24 points for Barangay Ginebra while Tenorio had 19 points. It was difficult for Ginebra to get back into the game because of the tight defense of Petron. Though Ginebra tried their best in scoring, still it was not enough. Fajardo was consistent in the game scoring 18 points.

 Adding up to the offense of Petron was Washington who scored 14 points. Because of Ginebra's loss, the team is in a deep hole with a 0-3 start. Meanwhile, Petron continues to be one of the favorites in this conference.

Yes, PBA will always be dramatic with Barangay Ginebra catching up in the future, but this game was totally dominated by Petron.
