Norman Black, El Granada detonates versus NLEX

By Carlo Pamintuan

Still in search of his first championship in the PBA, Gary David finally went back to his old fiery form as he led the Meralco Bolts to a 90-75 victory over the NLEX Road Warriors.

After averaging only 5.67 points in their first three games, David finally came through for Meralco as he scored 23 points while adding three rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

It was a statement win for the Bolts after dropping a 41-point beatdown against Alaska in their last game.

“Para makalimutan ng mga tao yung talo namin, dapat bumawi. Nag-prepare talaga kami para sa NLEX,” David said after the win. “Nung college pa ako sa Lyceum dun ako naka-experience na parang ganun yung pagkatalo namin.”

David played below his regular minutes in their first three games, averaging less than 18 minutes. In their loss to Alaska David only managed to score 4 points in 19 minutes. Against NLEX, David started and played more than 35 minutes, making up for the absence of erstwhile starter John Wilson.
