Alaska sends Ginebra bottom, Coke stops Red Bull
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 03 - 11 - 2008

The Alaska Aces sent the Barangay Ginebra Kings tumbling to the bottom of the standings with a 93-84 win in overtime Sunday night in the KFC PBA Philippine Cup.
The victory also enabled Alaska to tie idle San Miguel at the top of the chart, both with 5-2 win-loss slate.

The win sent Coca-Cola in a five-team logjam in the middle of the standings in the company of Talk N Text, Purefoods, Air 21 and Red Bull, all with a 3-4 slate.
Cokes stratospheric frontline of Asi Taulava, Nic Belasco and Mark Telan keyed the victory as they combined for 42 points and 28 rebounds, better than Red Bull's 29-20 output.
Trailing 29-25 after the first quarter, the Tigers went on a 35-18 tear n the second to take a 60-47 lead. Taulava top-scored with 17 points, Belasco had 15 points and nine rebounds, while Telan added nine points and 10 rebounds for the Tigers who out-rebounded the Barakos 60-43. __
