MANILA — Top seed Talk \u2018N Text pulled away in the second half to beat Barako Energy Drink, 99-84, on Tuesday night to advance in the semifinals of the PBA Governor\u2019s Cup at the Araneta Coliseum.<\/p>\n

Coming into the game with twice-to-beat incentive, the TNT found little resistance from the Energy Drinks in the first half.<\/p>\n

KG Canaleta and import Paul Harris combined forces in the second frame to avenge their 74-88 loss in their last meeting last June 10.<\/p>\n

Canaleta topscored with 25 points while Harris added 24 points and Jason Castro and Ranidel de Ocampo finished with 16 and 14 markers, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201dGreat team effort by my players today. We\u2019re very balanced as far as our scoring is concerned. We have a lot of contributions from everybody,\u201d TNT headcoach Norman Black said.<\/p>\n

The Tropang Texters entered the quarterfinals with a 7-2 win-loss record while Barako finished eight and last with 3-6 slate.<\/p>\n

Import Allen Durnham, who scored 28 points and 29 rebounds for Barako Bull last June 10, came out with 25 points but hardly drew support from the locals.<\/p>\n

The scores:<\/p>\n

TALK N’ TEXT 99 – Canaleta 25, Harris 24, Castro 16, De Ocampo 14, Williams 7, Fonacier 4, Alapag 3, Reyes Ryan 2, Baclao 2, Carey 2, Aban 0, Reyes Jai 0, Espiritu 0.<\/p>\n

BARAKO 84 – Durham 25, Jensen 17, Miranda 12, Pennisi 11, Fortuna 6, Wilson 5, Miller 4, Marcelo 4, Deutchman 0, Intal 0.<\/p>\n

Quarterscores: 16-17, 41-43, 73-65, 99-84.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
