He played in tandem with import Maodo Malick Diouf from Senegal, who finished with 23 points, 16 rebounds, four steals, two assists, and two blocks. Rich Guinitaran was the third-highest pointer at 13 points, two assists, and two blocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Cignal-Ateneo, Adrian Wong played a big part in keeping his team consistent with 17 points and a 4-of-7 percentage beyond the arc. He also chipped three assists and two rebounds. Big man Ange Kouame bagged a double-double at 14 points and 10 rebounds, while SJ Belangel totalled 13. Unfortunately, CEU got a hold of a solid 10-point lead in the last five minutes of the game. This is only the second game of the season that the Coach Tab Baldwin-led squad has lost; their opponents snapping their 10-game streak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coach Derrick Pumaren is pleased with the Scorpions performance, telling the media post-game, \u201cI think we&#8217;re able to redeem ourselves today. We&#8217;re able to show up in the championship game. What I told my players is more on motivation. I told them to believe in themselves, that we can be in the same league in Ateneo. I&#8217;m just happy to see the fight and us competing in this game.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both teams will go head-to-head to gain the upperhand once again next Thursday, June 20 at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Developmental League (D-League) best-of-five finals series is now even at 1-1 as Centro Escolar University &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-219501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-sports","mauthors-gianna-llanes","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219501"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219605,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219501\/revisions\/219605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
