Mono Vampire holds off Alab Pilipinas to force Game 5
With their season on the line, the Mono Vampire Basketball Club didn't hold any punches as they were able to get an 88-83 victory against San Miguel Alab Pilipinas on Monday at Stadium 29 in Bangkok, forcing a winner-take-all Game 5 in the ASEAN Basketball League Finals. "Just on to Game 5. We wanted to come to Thailand and get a split, we got a split. We got Game 5 at home," coach Jimmy Alapag bluntly said, as the series will conclude on Wednesday back in the Philippines. Ray Parks was once again the leading scorer for Alab who tallied 21 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. The pair of Justin Brownlee and Renaldo Balkman combined for 36 points and 26 rebounds. Unfortunately, Alab's two reinforcements combined for 15 turnovers. Balkman even battled through foul trouble. Late in the third quarter, he was called for his fourth foul that limited his minutes toward the end. "I wasn't happy with the referees calls tonight," stressed Alapag, who talked about the lack of fouls called despite Balkman's aggressiveness. Aside from Balkman's struggles, it was the errors that led to Alab's demise. At halftime, they already had 19 turnovers and finished the game with 26, giving Mono 24 points off of those miscues. "We still hurt ourselves, season-high turnovers with 26. That can't happen in a closeout game. It's a very good team were playing up against, we can't give them too many chances." On the other end, Mono's two World Imports proved to be the difference on their end Michael Singletary who vowed that he'll play better after his Game 4 performance, ended up with 20 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, and five steals. Dominating center Sam Deguara battled fatigue all game long but still put up big numbers of 20 points, 13 boards, and five blocks. After a Deguara basket with six minutes remaining, Mono held a 79-71 advantage. But Alab, determined to end the series and win the title, battled back. The two teams traded tough baskets the rest of the way and Alab got as close to three points, 86-83 with a little over a minute remaining. However, Paul Zamar put the nail in the coffin with a beautiful floater with 17.9 seconds left, sealing the win for Mono. Game 5 is set this Wednesday, May 2 at the Sta. Rosa Multi Purpose Complex.
