Donald Gumaru found his shooting stroke as Arellano pulled off an 80-78 shocker over San Sebastian in the 2016 Filoil Flying V Preseason Premier Cup Thursday at the Arena in San Juan.

Battling back from 17 points down, 52-35, at the half, the Chiefs got their acts together as saw Gumaru took over late, scoring 11 of the team’s last 12 points and drilling three consecutive triples to steal the victory for his squad.

Gumaru had 16 points on a scorching 4-of-9 shooting from three, to go with three rebounds and two assists, while Kent Salado poured 18 markers, nine dimes, and four boards as the two stepped up in the absence of star guard Jiovani Jalalon, who is with the Gilas cadets for the upcoming SEABA Cup.

“The team will learn a lot from this game kasi I don’t have this kind of situation pag naghahabol kami,” said coach Jerry Codiñera. “Pinakita talaga ng players yung maturity nila.”
