MPBL: Wamar, Taywan set records as San Juan deals Mindoro 82-point beatdown


San Juan’s 146-64 drubbing of Mindoro produced an avalanche of records on Tuesday in the OKbet-MPBL (Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League) 4th Season Presented by Xtreme at the Nueva Ecija Coliseum in Palayan City.

The 82-point winning margin was a record, made possible by the brilliant individual performances of Knights Orlan Wamar and Judel Fuentes.

Wamar drilled in a record 12 triples en route to a career-best 36 while Fuentes added 10 triples en route to a career-best 34 as their combined 70-point output proved enough to beat Mindoro.

With Wamar and Fuentes making half of their rainbow attempts, San Juan buried a total of 27 out of 58 tries, also a record.

Marwin Taywan joined the record-setting spree by feeding Wamar, Fuentes, and the other San Juan gunners with a record 20 assists while contributing 10 points himself.

The Go for Gold-supported Knights poured a record 90 points in the second half to tally their 10th win against six losses and bury the Tamaraws to a 1-15 slate, joining the Makati Kingpins at the bottom of the 22-team field.

The 5-foot-6 Wamar barely missed a triple-double as he dished off 11 assists and grabbed nine rebounds in addition to three steals.

Mindoro got 19 points each from Drake Santos and Oliver Santos and 11 from Marlon John Espiritu.

Wamar exploded for a record 21 points in the third quarter, eclipsing the previous high of 17 by former Knight John Wilson.

Showing their sharpest form yet, the Knights also handed a team record 49 assists.
