The B-Meg Llamados led the 1st three quarters but Alaska took control of the 4th quarter as the Aces won their 1st game in the PBA Governors Cup, 107-102. MVP James Yap led B-Meg in scoring with 28 points and was 4 out of 6 from the 3-point range but newcomer and former Alaska player, Joe Devance contributed only 10 points and 7 rebounds against his former team.

Llamados Import Stefhon Hannah who maybe on his way out scored 18 points but none in the 4th quarter as Coach Jorge Gallent opted to sit out Hannah in the final 4 minutes of play. Peter June Simon continued his good shooting performance with 17 points and Marc Pingris hauled down 9 rebounds along with scoring 9 points and dishing out 4 assists.

Gaco 2, Fernandez 0.

Quarters: 23-23, 46-53, 72-75, 107-102

Current Standing
B-Meg Llamados with 1 win and 1 loss and Alaska Aces with 0 wins and 2 losses

Key Points
Joe Devance will go up against his former team and B-Meg Import Stefhon Hannah has to step up his offensive game or else this maybe his last game for the Llamados. Peter June Simon will be a marked man after scoring 33 points in their last game. Marc Pingris must continue to dominate the boards, he has a total of 29 rebounds in his 1st two games this conference.

Prediction
B-Meg will win by 5 points, Joe Devance will lead the Llamados against his former team and Hannah will have a breakout game.

PJ Simon – 23ppg and 8 rpg against SMB and Smart Gilas both games won in OT.

Congratulations to Peter June Simon!

The Alaska Aces spoiled the return of Kerby Raymundo as they defeated B-Meg Derby Ace, 97-91. James Yap led the Llamados with 22 points but suffered leg cramps in the 4th quarter and missed the critical stage of the game as the Aces pulled away.

Kerby Raymundo who missed the last 33 games of B-Meg contributed 4 points and 3 rebounds. Marc Pingris had a good game with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Derby Ace clearly has to replace import Shamari Spears who was effective only on a few instances and could not stop Alaska import LD Williams who scored 30 points.

Jonas Villanueva missed the game due to an injury along with Rafi Reavis and Don Allado.

Game scores:

Alaska 97 – Williams 30, De Vance 19, Tenorio 16, Thoss 14, Baguio 9, Eman 7, Dela Cruz 2, Borboran
0, Custodio 0, Cablay 0.

Derby Ace 91 – Yap J 22, Pingris 18, Spears 16, Simon 12, Canaleta 6, Gaco 4, Raymundo 4, Yap
R 4, Escobal 3, Adducul 2.
