Cabahug steers Toyota to victory over BK
Patrick Cabahug unleashed an 18-point splurge in the fourth quarter as he powered Toyota Otis to a come-from-behind 72-62 victory over Burger King yesterday to rekindle its playoff hopes in the PBL Lipovitan Amino Sports Cup at The Arena in
Nothing but inconsistent going into this game with a measly average of 8.6 points an outing, Cabahug rediscovered his old lethal touch in time to send the Sparks back into playoff contention with a 3-6 (win-loss) slate.
“This is what I’ve been expecting from him, and this is the real Patrick Cabahug that showed up in this game,” said Toyota Otis coach Ariel Vanguardia. The Adamson U standout finished with 20 points, the same output dished out by veteran Erwin Sta. Maria to deal the Whoppers their fifth loss against the same number of wins.
Cabahug’s 18-point explosion fell two points shy of the league record in a quarter owned by now PBA star Ren Ren Ritualo, who fired 20 early in the decade with Welcoat Paints. Burger King appeared in control when it held a 54-50 lead on a pair of baskets by Mike Bravo early in the final canto.
