Aces run wild

Skyrus a.k.a. KKS Freestyler

What a difference doing away with a former coach's offensive playbook does to a player! Cyrus Baguio (25 points, 7 assists), in his best all-around outing since donning the Alaska Aces' red, black and white, led his team to a 109-100 victory over the listless Rain or Shine Elastopainters.

Unlike Friday's opening day loss to the Barako Bull Energy, the Aces looked a lot more comfortable in running a simpler, "look for the open man/ who's interested" style of play under coach Joel Banal. Really, this team has the firepower to compete with the best, and they just showed it tonight.
