G4: Red Bulls overwhelms Exit Realty, 73 - 58

With 5 Red Bulls players scoring in double-digit figures, the Bulls were virtually unstoppable as they overwhelmed a stunned Exit Realty team, 73 - 58.

In the first half of play, the teams were separated by a mere 4 points with the Red Bulls gaining the upper hand. Scott McInnes kept Exit Realty in the ballgame by spearheading the Realtors with 8 points in the first half.

But as soon as the second half started, Joseph Pangilinan of the Red Bulls thwarted his Exit guards by exploding with 4 of his 6 three-point bombs to give the Bulls a comfortable lead. Pangilinan led the Bulls in scoring with a game-high, 22 points.

So fluid was the Bulls' offense that Richie Tizon was one assist shy of a double-double performance as he dished 9 assist passes together with 11 points and 6 rebounds. Tizon ties Red Bulls center, Deleste, in rebounds. Chris Balan, on the other hand, completed the Bulls' triangle offense by contributing 15 high-percentage points.

The win puts the Bulls in a four-way tie with a 2-2 win loss card, improving their chances for a playoff berth. The Realtors' loss, however, slides them down to 1-3 card tied with 5 other teams.
