Quemont Greer showed up White and Red Bull rookie Leo Najorda had his breakthrough game in the pros as the Barakos dominated the Realtors, 95-78, to close in further on the league leaders with their third straight win.
Jacking up their win-loss record to 4-2, the Barakos moved just a game behind the Purefoods Chunkee Giants (5-1) and half-game off the Talk n Text Phone Pals (4-1).
White couldn’t put a performance that could make the team management change its mind in its decision to once again change an import. He struggled for only 16 points as the Realtors went without a single win in three games with him.
Alaska Milk fired blanks early on before slowly finding its range as the Aces also made it three in a row with a 68-62 whipping of the Coca-Cola Tigers in the second game.
The Aces stayed tied with the Barakos at third place with identical 4-2 cards.
