Canaleta shoots Ginebra over B-MEG, straight to semifinals

Barangay Ginebra booked a ticket to the semifinals on the heroics of KG Canaleta, who had his best game in the conference against his former team, B-MEG.

Canaleta scored 25 points to steer the Gin Kings to the semifinals via a 93-84 demolition of the Llamados in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup Friday night at the Cuneta Astrodome.

Canaleta finished with four three-pointers, and scored nine points in the fourth period to key a decisive 17-4 run by the Gin Kings that turned a 74-all standoff to a 91-78 lead.

“KG played exceptionally well,” said Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen in praise of the forward, who only played in six of the Gin Kings’ nine games in the elimination round.

“The good thing about KG, maski hindi siya nagagamit, hindi siya nagri-relax sa practice. I’m surprised that he played very well, but on the other hand I’m happy for him dahil nagbunga yugn tyaga niya.”

The win allowed the Gin Kings to join the Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters in the semifinals. The two teams will get the luxury of having a weeklong break as they await the results of the quarterfinal round.

The loss dropped B-MEG to the quarterfinals, where it faces its former coach, Ryan Gregorio, and the rest of the Meralco Bolts on Sunday for their best-of-three showdown.

Barako Bull and Alaska Milk collide in the other quarterfinals pairing.

The Gin Kings survived the game despite missing the services of Mark Caguioa for majority of the second half.

The six-foot guard suffered two cuts on his right eyelid after hitting the floor with 7:46 left in the third period. Caguioa went straight to the dugout and never returned, but that didn’t bring down the spirits of the Gin Kings, who rallied after being 11 points down in the first half.

The scores:

Ginebra (93) – Canaleta 25, Vroman 15, Cortez 15, Ababou 9, Hatfield 8, Labagala 5, Caguioa 5, Wilson 4, Mamaril 4, Wilson, W. 2, Raymundo 1, Villanueva 0.

B-MEG (84) – Yap 18, Bowles 12, Simon 11, Urbiztondo 10, De Ocampo 10, Devance 9, Intal 6, Pingris 4, Barroca 2, Reavis 2, Acuna 0.

Quarterscores: 17-27; 40-43; 64-68; 93-84

The six-foot guard suffered two cuts on his right eyelid after hitting the floor with 7:46 left in the third period.- ganyang ganyan din ang nangyari kay Jawo! Ending nag init ang team at nanalo sila. Ang pagkakaibahan nga lang si Jawo bumalik,si Mark hindi na. But it doesnt matter, ang mahalaga they both give Spark sa team :yaay:
