no cheese for the rats

Team Tigas laid out the best trap for the Gym Rats – “No Cheese today, Boy!” while cruising to a 66-46 victory behind Michael Humphrey’s 22 points and Kurt Malanas 11 rebounds.

Team Tigas, on paper, has one of the most complete team per position in the league. Michael Humphrey is a phenomenal leader and acts as their spirit guide while Aaron is the number one sniper in the league. CJ Pineda also came in as one of the best players and can be run on 1000HP at any given time. Humph finished this game with 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assists  while CJ Pineda and Andrei Malacapay added 13 points and 15 points respectively. Eddie Sera  and Lorne Pula tallied with 2 points and 4 points while Aaron Cua had a quiet game with 8 points 4 rebounds, 7 assists. Kurt Malana finished with 11 rebounds, 4 assists,  1 block and 4 points.

The Rats had been bugged by injuries and work commitments that they had to acquire Lito Matildo from Swoosh Bros. It did not help much as the Tigas kept that pressure on them. Renz Villanueva finished with 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block while Ja Aloy finished with 20 points, 3 rebounds, and an assist for the game. Ron Acosta had his best game of the season with 8 points and 4 rebounds while Lito Matildo had 4 points and 5 rebounds. JC Cuenca finished with 2 rebounds for the game. Mark Yu also had 2 points and 3 rebounds in his farewell game as he is moving to the West Coast.
