UNTV Cup: Caidic, Abarrientos lead teams to victory

Published Jun 17, 2019 12:00 am
Father's Day celebration was doubly special for Allan Caidic and Johnny Abarrientos as the former PBA MVP winners stamped their class over the weekend in leading San Miguel Beer and Alaska Milk to big wins in the UNTV Cup PBA Legends Faceoff at the Pasig City Sports Center. Caidic was at his usual fiery self, knocking down 9 triples in leading the Beermen to a 135-107 win over the Ginebra San Miguel Kings while Abarrientos dazzled his way to 25 points in the Milkmen’s 92-70 drubbing of the Purefoods Hotdogs.

ALASKA’S Johnny Abarrientos drives against Purefoods center Jerry Codiñera during their UNTV Cup PBA Legends Faceoff match which the Milkmen won, 92-70. In his best game so far, Caidic scattered 32 points on an impressive 10-of-14 shooting from the field, including 9-of-13 from the 3-point area, as the Beermen completed a three-game sweep of the elims in the event organized by UNTV president and CEO Dr. Daniel Razon in cooperation with the PBA Legends Foundation. Abarrientos highlighted his solid all-around show with 16 assists, four rebounds and a steal. He had also three treys to the delight of the team’s supporters. Also stepping up for San Miguel were Chris Calaguio and Nic Belasco who combined for eight triples and chipped in 17 and 13 points while Kiko Adriano and Danny Siegle wound up with 18 and 14 points, respectively. In all, seven players scored in double figures for the Beermen who negated the 41-point show of Vince Hizon. Belasco set the tone for San Miguel’s runaway win by burying three triples in the first quarter before Caidic and Calaguio caught fire, opening the second quarter with three triples. For sweeping the elims, the Beermen need only to beat the Hotdogs once to advance to the final – same thing for the second-seeded Milkmen against the Gin Kings.
