PBA D-League: Racal routs hapless Blustar by 62 points

Racal hardly broke a sweat as it easily dispatched Blustar Detergent, 122-60, in the 2016 PBA D-League Foundation Cup Tuesday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

The Tile Masters grabbed a share of third place as they leveled themselves with Tanduay with an identical 3-1 slate.

“I just told the players to be consistent especially when we play our defense,” said coach Caloy Garcia.
“We tend to lose the game kasi pag nagre-relax kami. We just have to be consistent every game.”

Six players scored in double digits for Racal, led by Robby Celiz, who finished with 17 points off the
bench.

Billy Robles also ended up with 14 markers and seven rebounds, while Raphael Banal had 13 points.

Philip Paniamogan went 4-of-7 from threes for his 12 markers, Dexter Maiquez got 11 points, and Kyle Neypes registered 10 in the rout.

The Tile Masters used a 14-2 run to end the first quarter and were unstoppable from there, dealing the Malaysians a harsh reality check after Blustar’s solid showing the last game.

Kuek Tian Yuan once again led the still winless Blustar (0-4) with 15 points and seven rebounds, while Juami Tiongson and Chun Hing Ting both had 12 markers.
