In the end, it’s the visiting Team Aces, who came out as conquering champions in Leg 2 of The Asian Tournament as they walloped home team Biñan Tatak Gel, 91-79, in the final round on Sunday at the Alonte Sports Arena in Biñan, Laguna.
Serhii Prymak and Xavier Alexander had double-double games and the Aces’ solid bench support proved to be the key in outplaying the Tatak Gel.
Prymak registered 23 points and pulled down 15 rebounds while Alexander came away with 13 points and 15 boards as they both solidified their presence on both ends of the court.
Offensively, the Aces have team captain Denzel Wong to lead the way with 24 points while the usual steady support cast also delivered – from Emmanuel Ojuola (13), Marcus Elliot (12), and Alex Kolchenjko (11).
“Everyone cheered each other. Everyone wants everybody’s success,” said Wong. “Basically, it’s just teamwork. We’ve won two in a row and now we’re looking to win three in a row. We just have to continue to work hard.”
Earlier, Macau Black Bears banked on their Magnificent Eight in outlasting the Vanta Black Dragons of Hong Kong, 105-101.
Mohammed Kone and Richard Scott Ewing combined for 63 points and practically did much of the damage against the Black Dragons.
