Allen Durham flirted with a triple-double as Meralco used a huge third-quarter storm to sink NorthPort, 109-99, and get a share of the Group A lead with TNT in the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 1.
Allen Durham flirted with a triple-double as Meralco used a huge third quarter storm to sink NorthPort, 109-99, and get a share of the Group A lead with TNT in the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 1.
Durham came an assist shy of the triple-double but nonetheless enough to power Meralco with his 34 points – 19 of which he poured during the Bolts’ searing rally in the third frame – to go along with his 16 rebounds and nine assists. Durham was at the forefront of a 27-7 run from Meralco late in the third, turning a once tight 63-59 affair into a massive 90-66 lead – the 24-point advantage the biggest for the Bolts in the contest.
Still, NorthPort refused to easily waive the white flag and battle back within nine, 104-95 with 3:25 left in the game behind an unlikely five composed of Joshua Munzon, William Navarro, Evan Nelle, John Amores and Abu Tratter.
