Red Bull sneaks past Alaska

   

QUEMONT GREER sank the back end of his charities with two seconds left to lift the Red Bull Barakos past the Alaska Aces, 76-75, last night in the San Mig Coffee 2005 PBA Fiesta Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.

The winning shot, however, came after a questionable foul called on McClary, who was trying to stay afoot with the driving Greer.

Red Bull coach Yeng Guiao didn’t care.

"Both teams got the breaks in the end. It just happened that we got the last good break," he said.

Replays showed no clear contact between McClary and Greer.

But the marginal free throw wasn’t the shot the huge weekend crowd would remember from the Red Bull import.

The prolific forward from DePaul University had the spectators on their feet and Alaska’s Don Allado on his knees with a one-handed crossover capped by a monstrous slam off McClary’s face.

The high-light reel put the Barakos ahead by three, 75-72, 20 seconds left.

Tony Dela Cruz, Alaska’s biggest catch in the off-season, hit a threepointer to forge the game’s last deadlock with four seconds remaining, 75-all.

Greer finished with 40 points and 13 rebounds, an impressive follow-up to his 37-point output in a losing cause against Purefoods Chunkee Giants.

The twin monster performances from his prized find had Guiao feeling on heaven.

"I think Quemont is the best import in the tournament. We’ll be in good shape with him."

His Alaska counterpart didn’t fare bad either.

McClary completed the season’s first triple-double by assisting Jeffrey Cariaso for the go-ahead basket, 70-68, 5:17 to go. He finished with 23 points, 22 rebounds and 10 assists.

Later in the night, Alex Cabagnot scored 13 of Sta. Lucia’s last 16 points — including 11 straight — to anchor the Realtors’ 92-88 win over Barangay Ginebra.

The win created a five-way tie for third among Sta. Lucia, Red Bull, Barangay Ginebra, Alaska Milk and idle Purefoods.

Sharing the No. 1 position are Air 21 and Talk ’N Text with similar 1-0 cards.
