    PBA Governors’ Cup opening night

    Two teams that made blockbuster moves in the offseason have yet to see the rewards at the start of their PBA Governors’ Cup campaigns.

    NorthPort, with newcomer Arwind Santos leading their comeback, fell short against Alaska, 87-85, while San Miguel, which got younger with Vic Manuel and Simon Enciso, fizzled after a hot start to surrender a 114-102 decision to NLEX.

    Aces import Olu Ashaolu registered 20 points and 14 boards in his return to the league, but it was locals Jeron Teng and Robbie Herndon who showed the way for Alaska in the opening-night victory.

    The Road Warriors, on the other hand, leaned on another balik-import in KJ McDaniels, who heated up in the second half to finish with 27 points and 11 rebounds.

    The Azkals surrendered two goals in a span of just three minutes in the second half, forcing them to play catchup the rest of the way.

    Amin Nazari pulled a goal back in the 69th minute, but the Azkals fell short in creating the equalizer to find themselves in fourth spot in Group A.
