HARBOUR CENTRE swingman Reed Juntilla and Henkel Sista guard Marcy Arellano were named as the PBL co-Players of the Week after leading their respective squads to impressive victories in the PBL Silver Cup this week.
Juntilla keyed Harbour’s pulsating 75-73 win over Cebuana Lhuillier Pera Padala by knocking in a jumper with barely 2.3 ticks left for their second straight win after a pair of heartbreaking setbacks.
His last-gasp basket highlighted Juntilla’s 24-point performance – his highest so far since joining the league two years ago.
He also hauled down five rebounds and issued three assists, thus sharing the Player of thee Week honors with Arellano.
Arellano, on his part, is turning out to be team’s main man with his clutch baskets at crunch time.
Small wonder, the Super Sealers are now top with a 6-2 card. Another win will assure them of a playoff for an outright semis berth.
The 5-foot-8 Arellano had 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field and a perfect 5-of-5 from the free throw line in the team’s 77-69 win over TeleTech last Tuesday.
