Aaron Black posts crazy 45-18-12 line, punches AMA’s QF ticket


Aaron Black churned out another triple-double performance, leading AMA’s 133-90 decimation of Hazchem to complete Group A’s playoff picture in the 2019 PBA D-League Second Conference Thursday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

The son of PBA great and current Meralco coach Norman Black finished with 45 points, 18 assists, and 12 rebounds as he tied Jeron Teng for the most number of triple-double performances in the developmental ranks with three.

That also marked the sixth-highest scoring game in PBA D-League history.

Black also played a big factor behind the Titans’ 21-2 start in the game, setting the tone for the one-sided affair.

AMA would then lead by as many as 47 points, 130-83, after a Franz Asuncion bucket that came off a Black assist with 34 seconds left to play before cruising to the 43-point victory.

“Si Aaron siguro hindi nabigyan ng chance noon pero kilala ko yang batang yan noon pa. Sinabi ko sa kanya na siya inaasahan ng team pero tinutulungan pa rin siya ng teammates niya, so team effort pa rin,” said coach Mark Herrera.

Dennis Santos had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Luke Parcero had 18 points, while Alvin Fuentes and Michael De Leon added 11 markers apiece in the victory that enabled the Titans to lock up the fourth seed in the group with their 3-3 card.

“Pinaghandaan namin to kasi pag natalo kami may chance pa pumasok yung kalaban. Nagbigay din ng motivation yung may-ari ng AMA si Ambassador (Dr. Amable Aguiluz V), birthday niya so gift namin ‘to sa kanya,” Herrera said.
