Macau Black Bears turned to their high-scoring trio of Tyree Javal Robinson, Mohamed Kone and Richard Scott Ewing in ripping Del Norte Banana Republic, 92-79, in the Asian Tournament Leg 2 at the Alonte Sports Arena in Bi\u00f1an, Laguna on Friday.<\/p>\n
Robinson had a double-double game, finishing with 31 points and 12 boards, but the solid support provided by Kone and Ewing proved to be essential in keeping the Black Bears\u2019 three-pronged attack.<\/p>\n
Kone flirted with a triple-double performance of 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists in a solid all-around game while Ewing was also a key contributor in the guard spot, tallying 17 markers on top of seven assists for the Black Bears, who improved their win-loss record to 4-1 to keep the lead in the Group A of the standings.<\/p>\n
The Black Bears were able to pull off a win despite getting outrebounded by their rivals, but the biggest factor for Macau\u2019s victory was its ability to translate Del Norte\u2019s 19 miscues to 31 turnover points.<\/p>\n
Former San Beda import Domnald Tankoua paced Del Norte with 22 markers as the team absorbed its third setback in five games.<\/p>\n
Robinson felt he needs to keep ahold of the team to get the job the done.<\/p>\n
