Jay Washington and Mick Pennisi seemed perfectly fit for San Miguel.
Jay Washington scored 18 points and Mick Pennisi made five rebounds and two assists, helping the Beermen came away with a 99-90 rout of the Red Bull Barakos on Monday at the start of the PBA pre-season tournament at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines gym.
By acquiring the two via separate trades, SMB became bigger and beefier, in the process presenting match-up nightmare for opponents.
Apart from it, Washington and Pennisi are also blessed with good shooting touch so they provide coach Siot Tanquingcen a lot of offensive options other than Dondon Hontiveros, Danny Seigle and Danny Ildefonso.
“They’re a big team. Obviously the addition of Mick and JayWash has made SMB a tough match-up,” observed Red Bull deputy coach Gee Abanilla, who called the shots for the Barakos.
Against a team that let go off three key players (Pennisi, Topex Robinson and Kiko Adriano), the Beermen dominated the game early and sealed the victory by halftime when they cruised to a 64-40 advantage.
The scores:
SMB 99 – Washington 18, Seigle 15, Gonzales 15, Hontiveros 11, Pena 8, Bono 7, Pennisi 6, Custodio 5, Racaela 5, Calaguio 3, Villanueva 2, Pingris 2, Cortez 2.
Red Bull 90 – Baguio 15, Sharma 14, Alvarez 9, Espinas 9, Membrere 8, Cruz 7, Magpayo 6, Rodriguez 6, Hubalde 6, Ybanez 3, Najorda 2 Hrabak 0, Duncil 0.
Quarters: 29-23; 64-40; 84-58; 99-99
