Meralco guard Aaron Black. PBA IMAGES ANTIPOLO CITY—Aaron Black and Cliff Hodge came through in overtime as Meralco outlasted TNT, 124-117, to even their best-of-five semifinal series in the PBA Governors’ Cup at 1-1 on Sunday at Ynares Center here. Black scored six of his 28 points that tied his career-high in the extension while Hodge shook off a whiplash late in regulation by playing a key role on both ends as the Bolts came away with another hard-fought win. It was the second time that the Bolts produced an overtime win after dispatching the Magnolia Hotshots in the quarterfinals last Wednesday. They were handed a 110-80 defeat in the series opener two nights ago. Import KJ McDaniels atoned for a lackluster showing in Game 1 to deliver 39 points, 20 rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks for the Bolts.

PBA: Aaron Black comes through anew for Meralco Bolts
Meralco guard Aaron Black. PBA IMAGES ANTIPOLO—Meralco had to gut out five more minutes of action to tie its PBA Governors’ Cup semifinals series against TNT and the Bolts knew who to turn to. “The players on the bench were telling me to go to Aaron because he was the hot one tonight. He was scoring inside, outside and getting to the basket a lot so we wanted to take advantage of that,” said coach Norman Black after a 124-117 victory on Sunday at Ynares Center here. That’s exactly what the Bolts did and the fast rising guard did not disappoint. Aaron finished with a double-double of 28 points on 63 percent shooting from the field and 10 assists. He also saved his best for last, going on a personal 6-0 blitz in overtime to bury the Tropang Giga. “Well, I just tried to take what their defense was giving me. My teammates put me in the right spot especially in the end when they found me in the post,” said Aaron. “We needed everything today and we’ll need everything … [Read more...] about PBA: Aaron Black comes through anew for Meralco Bolts
Aaron Gordon: Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic is “levels ahead of anything I’ve ever seen”
When Aaron Gordon heard the question, his eyes nearly rolled out of their sockets. Asked whether he appreciated watching Nikola Jokic go to work against Brook Lopez, the potential Defensive Player of the Year, in Saturday’s 129-106 romp over the Bucks, Gordon stared knowingly up from his locker room stall. His long side-eye forecast the answer that followed. “Can’t nobody stop Joker, man,” Gordon said. “I don’t care, Defensive Player of the Year. It doesn’t matter. And he was getting fouled. If you’re not fouling him, you’re not stopping him. And he was fouling him, and he was still getting buckets. They weren’t calling and-1s. He’s ridiculous.” Jokic battered and bludgeoned and spun his way to 31 points on 10-of-20 shooting, with 11 assists and six rebounds. He went to the free-throw line 11 times, abusing Milwaukee’s decision to play him one-on-one. If he wasn’t muscling through the No. 1 defense, then he was pirouetting around it. “His footwork, his touch around the … [Read more...] about Aaron Gordon: Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic is “levels ahead of anything I’ve ever seen”

Bolts still underdogs despite tying series with Tropang Giga – Black
Cliff Hodge (in white) and the Bolts chase down every chance they got to hold off Mikey Williams and the Tropang Giga. —PHOTOS BY AUGUST DELA CRUZ Meralco handed TNT a rare loss that evened their PBA Governors’ Cup semifinal series at 1-1 in Antipolo City on Sunday. But Bolts coach Norman Black, following a 124-117 overtime win gutted out from sheer will at Ynares Center, still considers the Tropang Giga the favorites despite seeing a performance that could definitely give the Bolts more belief that they could take down the league’s top team. “We’re playing the No. 1 seed team, so every game is gonna be tough for us,” Black said. “It’s just their second loss this entire conference and nothing’s gonna be easy. If you look at their lineup, they’re loaded so every game’s gonna be competitive.” It took the hot shooting from Aaron Black, a determined, banged-up Cliff Hodge, and import KJ McDaniels answering Black’s challenge, among others, for Meralco to turn the series into a … [Read more...] about Bolts still underdogs despite tying series with Tropang Giga – Black
