PUERTO PRINCESA – Talk n Text teammates Kevin Alas and Matt Rosser combined for 67 points, leading the Rookies to a 150-131 win over the Sophomores in the grand return of the Blitz Game in the PBA All-Star Week here Friday night.
Rosser, a creative participant in the slam dunk contest, extended his show in the Rookies-Sophomores duel, displaying an array of highlight plays in a lively performance that rubbed off on all participants and provided a fun-filled climax to the game last held in the annual mid-season spectacle in Boracay in 2011.
Alas exploded for 35 points, Rosser erupted for 32 and Stanley Pringle added 22 for the winning team in the highest scoring Blitz Game ever played in the league.
Terrence Romeo frolicked for 50 points while Raymond Almazan contributed 25 for the losing team.
The game produced the highest winning, losing and combined points since the Sophomores clobbered the Rookies, 130-123, in Cagayan de Oro in 2006.
Sta. Lucia’s Nelbert Omolon brought home the MVP trophy in that game, repeating his feat as a rookie the previous year in Laoag City.
In the 2015 event, Rosser, also with four rebounds, two assists and three steals, won the MVP plum.
Pringle had a team-high 17 markers in the first half but added only five in the second half where Rosser put on the bulk of his output.
Rosser also had highlight plays on the defensive end, including a smashing block on Raymond Almazan early in the third quarter.
With a dunk counting three points in the contest, Rosser soared for numerous slams for the frosh and so did Almazan for the sophies.
With the game in the bag for the Rookies, the two teams figured in a free-wheeling dunking party towards the end.
Almost everyone in the venue had fun especially with the small players being lifted by their teammates for them to experience the aerial show.
Before the final buzzer, 5-foot-7 guard Jeric Fortuna was hanging on the rim.
The Rookies beat the Sophomores in four of the last five stagings of this novel game.
But both teams were winners in bringing fun, thrill and excitement to the Palaweño fans. (SB)
