Bulanadi, Ilagan take over in OT as Valencia-Baste outlasts Marinerong Pilipino


Valencia City, Bukidnon-San Sebastian College-Recoletos scored their breakthrough win in the 2019 PBA D-League, repulsing the Marinerong Pilipino Skippers, 110-104 in overtime, Thursday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

Allyn Bulanadi starred for the Golden Harvest. He dropped a game-high 32 points, 12 coming in the big 28-point third quarter assault for his side, before scoring four more to put the game away in extra time.

He also had nine rebounds, three blocks, and two assists, as he emerged as the new go-to-guy for San Sebastian. However, Coach Egay Macaraya felt that the credit shouldn’t all go to Bulanadi, given how well the team recovered after squandering a 14-point fourth quarter lead.

“Isang factor si Allyn. But everybody, noong extension, hindi nag-give up ang mga bata. I guess ‘yun ang bini-build namin ngayon, building character ng Baste,” he said. “Nakita ko na ‘di kami nag-give up, and that’s the very thing na I’m very happy.”

Valencia-Baste looked poised to run away with the win after taking an 84-70 lead. But Mike Ayonayon and Art Aquino conspired to bring Marinerong Pilipino back in the game, and tied it at 100 just as the regulation clock expired.

However, Bulanadi had other plans. He commanded the finishing kick the Golden Harvest needed to score the breakthrough and gain their first victory in the Foundation Group.

RK Ilagan also added 28 points on a 5-of-9 shooting from threes, while also collecting seven rebounds, six assists, and three steals. JM Calma scattered nine points, 10 boards, and two dimes for Valencia-Baste.
