                    [Summary] => The unanimous decision of the PBL Board to allow him to play for LBC-Batangas has inspired Philippine-born American Alex Compton to work double time to get back in shape in time for the 2002 PBL Challenge Cup kicking off Nov. 4 at the Pasig Sports Complex.


After the MBA folded up, Compton went to the States for the much needed break, visiting his family and friends.

Sinabi ni Adducul na bagamat kailangan niyang galangin ang kanyang kontrata sa Batangas, mas makabubuti kung ililipat ito ng MBA sa ibang koponan.

Hindi binigyan ng release papers ng Batangas si Adducul na naging dahilan para di ito makasama sa PBA Draft noong nakaraang linggo na siyang pinagsisimiyento ng player.

Nasa panganib na mapatalsik makaraan ang 2-0 pangunguna ng San Juan sa kanilang best-of-five Northern Conference Finals, pinag-init ng nagdedepensang National champion ang final quarter at makakuha ng tsansang maitabla ang serye sa kanilang laban ngayong hapon.

From last year’s best team but now on the brink of elimination Metrostars can easily trace their woes to the statistics sheet, which indicate the Andok’s-backed Knights total domination of the first two games of the Northern Finals.

Nakatakda ang paghaharap ng Metrostars at Knights sa dakong alas-2 ng hapon na dadako sa San Juan Gym.

The Metrostars threw the full weight of their vaunted offensive might in the fourth quarter en route to duplicating their 89-80 victory over the same team last week in Pasig. It will be the Metrostars’ third straight Northern Conference Final appearance.

It was a typical Compton show with the shifty former MVP knocking in two triples, scoring a couple of jumpers and then slashing through the Pirates’ defense for a twinner. He wound up with 29 points in a game that included six rebounds, four assists and three steals.

For Yturri and his boys, the bottom line was that they trounced the Metrostars to be on top of the league.
