Dave Ildefonso, Suwon outlast SJ Belangel, Daegu

Dave Ildefonso and the Suwon KT Sonic Boom prevailed over Samjosef Belangel and the Daegu Korea Gas Corporation Pegasus, 85-75, in the Korean Basketball League on Thursday night at the Daegu Gymnasium.

Ildefonso, a former teammate of Belangel at the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles, was held scoreless to go with one rebound in almost nine minutes of action for the Sonic Boom.

Paris Bass posted a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds to go with seven assists, while Ha Yoon-gi and Heewon Han had 18 and 14, respectively, as Suwon improved to a 16-9 record.

“The reason we were able to win was our defense and rebounding. If the rebound was good, it was a good game. The players played well and achieved victory,” said Suwon head coach Song Young-jin.

Belangel emerged as the top scorer for the Pegasus with 18 points, including two three-pointers, to go with one rebound, but it was not enough to prevent his team from dropping to a 7-19 record.

Daeheon Lee chipped in 16 markers, while former PBA reinforcements Andrew Nicholson and DuVaughn Maxwell contributed 12 and 11 markers, respectively, for the Pegasus.
