Regular Season Round 13: Rain or Shine - Meralco Bolts 81-77

Date: June 15, 2012
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Rain or Shine as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Rain or Shine defeated 7th ranked Meralco Bolts in Manila 81-77. The hosts trailed by 3 points at the halftime before their 49-42 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Rain or Shine dominated on the defensive end, holding Meralco Bolts to just 3 points in third quarter. 29 personal fouls committed by Meralco Bolts helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American forward Jamelle Cornley (196-87, college: Penn St.) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 10 rebounds for the winners and guard Paul Lee (191) chipped in 16 points and 4 assists. At the losing side American guard Mario West (195-84, college: Georgia Tech) responded with a double-double by scoring 23 points and 10 rebounds and naturalized Tongan center Asi Taulava (206-73, college: BYU-Hawaii) produced a double-double by scoring 15 points and 14 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with B-Meg Llam. Meralco Bolts at the other side dropped to the eighth place with four games lost. Meralco Bolts will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest in order to get back on the winning path. Rain or Shine will try to continue on its current victory against fourth ranked Barako Bull in Quezon.
