Valencia City Bukidnon-SSCR remained in the hunt for the Foundation Group top spot, dismantling CD14 Designs-Trinity, 105-82, in the 2019 PBA D-League yesterday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
Emmanuel Bonleon stepped up for the Golden Harvest, uncorking 20 of his 23 points in the first half as his side took the 36-23 lead at the end of the first period.
Allyn Bulanadi was at his lethal self with a team-high 28 points, alongside six rebounds, three steals, and two assists, while JM Calma had a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds.
The trio’s efforts were more than enough for Valencia-SSCR to continue padding the lead, reaching its peak at 25, 75-50, at the midway point of the third frame.
It was the Golden Harvest’s fourth straight win and pulled them once again on level with CEU at the no. 1 spot in the group at 7-1.
