This was the first time this conference that B-MEG has won back to back victories. With a new head coach in Tim Cone the Llamados are still adjusting to the new system their coach is implementing on them.
B-MEG were able to hold of a feisty Meralco Bolts and was able to hold on to a 95-79 win in the 2011 Philippine Cup at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.
James Yap led the way for B-MEG with 25 points on 10-18 shooting, giving the Llamados a 4-4 standing.
Although B-MEG were able to notch its first back to back wins, it was in the expense of PJ Simon.
Simon got injured when he had a bad fall on a drive to the basket. B-MEG fans are hopeful its nothing serious because PJ Simon has been a spark for B-MEG in this couple of games.
Gabby Espinas led Meralco Bolts with 20 points and 10 rebounds. The bolts are now 5-4 in the team standings.
Cone now challenges his players to make a run to catch up the leaders in the team standings.
"This is the time we have to make our surge. We can't lag too far back and expect to catch up anybody," said Cone.
B-MEG's next opponent is Cone's former team Alaska this Sunday.
