MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— No Mo Tautuaa? No problem.<\/p>\n

GlobalPort won sans its newly-acquired center, subduing Meralco, 86-85, in their PBA Commissioner’s Cup match at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Friday night.<\/p>\n

WithTautuaa serving the suspension he got during the previous day\u2019s game, the Batang Pier still found a way to contain the Bolts’ import, Arinze Onuaku.<\/p>\n

However, GlobalPort had to hold on following a wild finish.<\/p>\n

Up by eight, 77-69, midway through the fourth quarter, the team found itself just holding to a precarious one-point lead, 83-82, with 42 seconds left.<\/p>\n

Meralco, however, failed to complete its comeback as back-to-back turnovers hampered its bid, even as GlobalPort’s Stanley Pringle converted free throws down the stretch to seal the win.<\/p>\n

Malcolm White tallied 27 points, 17 rebounds, one assist, and two blocks while limiting Onuaku to only 21 points.<\/p>\n

Pringle added 17 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and one block, even as Sean Anthony tallied 15 points, seven boards, and two dimes as both players bucked off an error-prone game and helped the Batang Pier tie their opponents at 1-1.<\/p>\n

KG Canaleta fired seven triples to finish with 28 markers for Meralco.<\/p>\n

The scores:<\/p>\n

Globalport 86: White 27, Pringle 17, Anthony 15, Arana 7, Nabong 6, Grey 5, Teng 3, Viernes 2, Elorde 2, Gabayni 2, Guinto 0<\/p>\n

Meralco 85: Canaleta 28, Onuaku 21, Newsome 9, Caram 9, Amer 8, Hodge 6, Salva 2, Hugnatan 2, Sedurifa 0, Dillinger 0<\/p>\n
