Alaska Aces Def. Meralco Bolts 032510Alaska Aces Def. Meralco Bolts 032510
It was another Friday night in the middle of March.
And there’s a pair of basketball games going on in the old hoop house in Cubao one of which is the sort that you’ll talk about for years and will grow with every retelling.
It began with a highlight. Alaska Aces off-guard Cyrus Baguio found teammate LD Williams lurking in the stratosphere and the former Wake Forest Deacon, who was staring down into the hoop obliged his gravity-defying teammate with a big time flush.
Two minutes and thirty-eight seconds later, Baguio suspended himself and everyone’s imagination with a jolens layup to put Alaska a point behind Meralco 7-6. Skyrus was on his game. It would be a good sign for the Aces because they would need all hands on deck for this one because barely a minute later, the course of the game would change.
After getting inadvertently poked in the eye by Gabby Espinas, Williams squinted, looked for a teammate while hoping the officials would whistle a deadball. He found neither. Half blind, he swung an elbow that grazed the Bolts’ Mac Cardona who double-teamed the American.
