Post Game Interview: Cebuana Lhuillier coach Luigi Trillo

Cebuana Lhuillier got its offense going in the middle quarters as it beat Cobra Energy Drink, 58-47, while Boracay Rhum blasted Café France, 65-46, in the PBA D-League Aspirants’ Cup at the Trinity University of Asia gym yesterday.

Terrence Romeo scored 12 points and Vic Manuel had 11 rebounds for the Gems, who overcome a fiery charge by the Iron Men in the fourth quarter to fashion out the victory.

Cobra pulled to within, 39-45, but the Ironmen failed to sustain their charge and wavered down the stretch.

John Noble shot 10 points while Josan Nimes struggled for two points for Cobra, which also dropped a 76-82 setback to Big Chill last Tuesday.
