JM Calma tows Valencia City-San Sebastian to Foundation Group top seed


The Valencia City Bukidnon-San Sebastian Golden Harvest locked up the top seed in the Foundation Group with a 91-80 win over the Diliman College-Gerry’s Grill Blue Dragons in the 2019 PBA D-League Thursday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

JM Calma started off hot for the Golden Harvest with his 15 first half points. He finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks.

The Blue Dragons then threatened within seven, 77-70, in the last 4:33. Valencia-SSCR went to their old reliables, as RK Ilagan and Allyn Bulanadi sealed off the win late.

Bulanadi did it all to finish with 18 points, six boards, four assists, three steals, and three blocks.

Kevin Gandjeto pumped 29 points in the losing cause for Diliman-Gerry’s (4-5).
