SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry scored 29 points, Yaxel Lendeborg added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and the Golden State Warriors won their sixth straight game by beating the Miami Heat, 120-100, on Thursday (Friday in Manila).

JRU beats Benilde, secures twice-to-beat advantage in quarterfinals

MANILA, Philippines — Jose Rizal University took the upper hand in a tight race on top of Group A with a crucial 85-79 victory over College of Saint Benilde despite the return of two-time NCAA Most Valuable Player Allen Liwag to the Blazers lineup on Friday in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament  at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. The Heavy Bombers finished the elims with a 10-3 record to assure themselves of placing in the top two spots of Group A and a twice-to-beat incentive in the quarterfinal round. St. Benilde, on the other hand, dropped to 8-4 but with one game left in their schedule, the Blazers have a chance to claim second place in Group A and the second quarterfinals incentive. Standing on the Blazers way are the Red Lions of San Beda who are currently in second place with a 9-3 record. They are slated to collide on the last day of the elimination round on Tuesday. A victory by the Blazers would give them the No. 2 spot by virtue of the winner-over-the-other rule while a loss would relegate them to third place.  However, a win by the Red Lions on Tuesday would catapult them to first place and relegate the Heavy Bombers to second place in Group A. Both of them, however, will have the twice-to-beat incentive against respective foes in the next round.  On Friday, JRU was led by Lawrence Mangubat who scored a game-high 27 points even as Sean Salvador and Jahmir Eligado added 16 points each. St. Benilde, on the other hand, was led by John Morales who scored 16 points.  Liwag, who returned after missing the first 11 games this season, scored only six points.

King, Ross shine as San Miguel forges Game 5 vs Ginebra

San Miguel Beer relied on a massive 46-point, third quarter scoring rampage to turn back Barangay Ginebra, 108-102, on Friday en route to forging a winner-take-all Game 5 in their PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup quarterfinal series at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. Import George King dropped 18 points in the third period while Chris Ross scored 13, highlighted by six assists as the two led the Beermen’s 46-18 third quarter exchange to erase a 17-point deficit with a lot to spare. King would go on to finish with 35 points, 15 rebounds and five assists. The 41-year-old Ross played like an energetic young gun as he finished with 20 points, six rebounds, nine assists and five steals in 37 minutes of action. CJ Perez added 14 points, six rebounds and six assists, Don Trollano had 12, while June Mar Fajardo chipped in eight points and 11 boards.

Perpetual Help keeps San Sebastián winless

MANILA, Philippines — University of Perpetual Help kept San Sebastián College-Recoletos winless with a 82-75 victory in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Friday afternoon at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. Perpetual Help improved to a 4-8 win-loss record and will finish fourth in Group B while San Sebastian ended the preliminary round with a 0-13 slate. The two teams, however, will meet again in the play-in round where the Altas hold a twice-to-beat advantage over the Golden Stags for the last berth in the quarterfinal round. Perpetual Help was led by Mark Gojo Cruz and Juan Tulabut, who both scored 19 points, while LA Casinillo added 14 points. “Fortunately, coach Olsen (Racela) reminded us to always play like underdogs,” said assistant Allan Albano. The Altas held a 74-62 cushion late in the final period before the Stags pulled a 9-1 run to trim the deficit to four, 75-71, with 2:04 to go. Gojo Cruz, however, dropped the dagger with an inside shot before Jim Corpuz iced the game with a perfect trip from the free-throw line for the 79-71 advantage with under a minute to go in the game. Niel Castor turned in 18 points for San Sebastián while Ralph Gabat added 15. The scores:  Perpetual Help (82) - Gojo Cruz 19, Tulabut 19, Casinillo 14, Gelsano 7, Montemayor 5, Roluna 5, Orgo 4, Corpuz 4, Duremdes 2, Cristino 2, Cauguiran 1, Borja 0, Yuhico 0, Maglupay 0 San Sebastian (75) - Castor 18, Gabat 15, Muktimar 8, Salvo 8, Bacani 5, Velasco 5, Cuya 5, Ricio 4, Suico 4, Alforque 3, Segovia 0, Barroga 0, Dimaunahan 0 Quarter scores: 31-14, 47-34, 59-47, 82-75

David Silva in Hong Kong: ex-Manchester City star not ruling out Sha Tin return

David Silva said he would “not close the door” on the possibility of repeating his headline-grabbing guest appearance for Supreme Sha Tin this weekend, as the club’s ambitious owner acknowledged he would gladly keep doling out bumper pay cheques to keep the World Cup winner on board. Still, Jim Wong Chi-chuen, who has granted Silva a “seven-figure” Hong Kong dollar payday to play against BC Rangers at a sold-out Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground on Saturday, said that for the 40-year-old to commit...
