San Miguel blasts Burger King to notch first win
21 Oct 2009Arwind Santos had 28 points and grabbed a carer-high 18 rebounds to go along with 3 steals, leading the highly-touted San Miguel Beermen to a 117-99 rout of the Burger King Whoppers in the 2009-2010 KFC PBA Philippine Cup at the Cuneta Astrodome.Santos, playing his first game against his former team, went 12-for-23 from the field, including 4-for-9 from three-point range highlighted by a buzzer beatig midcourt shot at halftme.Mike Cortez, Mick Pennisi, Dondon Hontiveros, Lordy Tugade, Jonas Villanueva and Dennis Miranda all scored in double figures as San Miguel won their first game after losing their first two of the season."Gigil siguro doon sa first two games kaya ganon. Saka medyo nagse-settle down na rin siguro ako with my new team," said Santos, who also highlighted his game with 18 caroms, improving his previous career best by one."No doubt, Arwind is a great talent. He can play big or small. But talent alone doesn't win games. The jury is still out if he can pick things up with us," said San Miguel coach Siot Tanquingcen."Very obvious, nagkakapaan pa ang team. No excuses but we played like shit in our first two games. In short stretches lang kami nakapaglaro ng maayos," said Tanquingcen."We won tonight but we've yet to get the chemistry that we want. We're still a work in progress," Tanquingcen added.Burger King, who is playing the rest of the season without starting point guard Wynne Arboleda, was led by Richard Yee with 17 points and 10 boards. Egay Billones, JR Quinahan and Chico Lanete all finished in double digits for the Whoppers. Gary David, the team's leading scorer, was held to just 4 points.Scores:San Miguel 117 - Santos 28, Cortez 16, Pennisi 14, Hontiveros 13, Tugade 12, Villanueva 10, Miranda 10, Pena 6, Custodio 3, Racela 3, Eman 2, Calaguio 0.Burger King 99 - Yee 17, Billones 16, Quinahan 14, Lanete 13, Matias 7, Buenafe 7, Aban 7, Sharma 7, Yee 5, David 4, Belga 2.Quarterscores: 34-24, 60-49, 85-73, 117-99
