Kings carve out win from long slump
By Nelson Beltran Updated March 29, 2009 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - Barangay Ginebra ended a five-game losing skein in style last night, clobbering Barako Bull, 111-103, in a Motolite PBA Fiesta Conference road show at the Panabo Multi-Purpose, Tourism, Cultural and Sports Center in Panabo, Davao del Norte.
Rod Nealy, Ronald Tubid and Jayjay Helterbrand scored at least 23 points each as the Kings played with sustained firepower, getting some relief with a first win in 24 days.
Nealy, Tubid and Helterbrand took turns in anchoring a hot Ginebra charge, carrying the team back on the winning track going into the long league break.
Pulling off their first win after a triumphant debut versus the Coca-Cola Tigers on March 4, the Kings tied the Energy Boosters and the Alaska Milk Aces at seventh place on identical 2-5 win-loss cards.
Coca-Cola was left alone in the cellar at 1-5.
The season-ending tourney takes a 14-day break to give way to the holding of the RP-Australia goodwill series and the observance of Lenten week.
The first meeting between the Philippines and Australia is at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Araneta Coliseum. The second game is on Palm Sunday in the same venue.
The Fiesta Conference, meanwhile, resumes on Easter Sunday with tournament leader San Miguel Beer going up against Rain or Shine and tail-ender Coca-Cola taking on Alaska.
Ginebra isn’t plunging back into action until April 17 versus Rain or Shine.
Before taking a long rest, the Kings worked extra hard, dominating the Energy Boosters almost throughout the contest, which served as another leg of the PBA Phoenix Fuel on Tour.
They erected an 18-point spread towards the end of the first half, stretched it to 24 twice in the third and held off a Ginebra chase at endgame.
Tubid scattered 29 points, including a three-pointer clinching their win at 104-95 with a little over a minute left to play.

Barangay Ginebra beats Barako Bull in Panabo
PANABO CITY, Davao del Norte -- Playing their last game before taking a long break, the Barangay Ginebra Kings exerted extra effort and rewarded themselves with a first win in 24 days.
The defending champion Kings played with a sustained firepower, for a change, ending a five-game skid with a 111-103 win over the Barako Bull Energy Boosters in a road game in the Motolite Fiesta Conference at the Panabo Multi-Purpose, Tourism, Cultural and Sports Center here Saturday night.
Ronald Tubid poured in a career-high 29 points while Rod Nealy and Jayjay Helterbrand also came through with 20-plus performances to lead the Kings to their first win since a triumphant debut versus the Coca-Cola Tigers on March 4.
It was a big relief for the Kings as they notched a win which could rebuild their confidence going to a 20-day rest.
Barangay Ginebra caught up with Barako Bull and Alaska Milk at seventh with identical 2-5 win-loss records, leaving Coca-Cola alone in the cellar at 1-5.
Nealy, Tubid and Helterbrand took turns in anchoring the hot Ginebra charge in the last stop of the PBA Phoenix Fuel on Tour before the break where the league gives way to the holding of the RP-Australia goodwill series and the observance of Lenten week.
The first meeting between the Philippines and Australia is at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Araneta Coliseum. The second game is on Palm Sunday in the same venue.

They erected an 18-point spread towards the end of the first half, stretched it to 24 twice in the third and held off a Barako Bull chase at endgame.
Tubid’s new career-high output in six seasons in the pros included a three-pointer, clinching their win at 104-95 with a little over a minute left to play.
Nealy also put in 29 points while Helterbrand added 23.
The losing team was paced by Scooter McFadgon and Gabby Espinas who scored 19 and 17, respectively.
McFadgon bled for only five in the first half before getting his rhythm, spiking his third-quarter exploits with a basket from midcourt at the buzzer.
The Kings took control early while shooting 53 percent from the field as against the Energy Boosters’ 34-percent clip in the first half. (NC)
The scores:
Barangay Ginebra 111 – Nealy 29, Tubid 29, Helterbrand 23, Artadi 9, Reavis 7, Pacana 7, Mamaril 3, Wilson 2, Intal 2, Lanete 0.
Barako Bull 103 – McFadgon 19, Espinas 17, Chan 14, Hubalde 11, Sharma 10, Najorda 9, Juntilla 9, Ybanez 6, Rodriguez 4, Crisano 4, Duncil 0, Membrere 0, Hrabak 0.
Quarterscores: 29-25, 59-43, 91-73, 111-103.
