Alapag drawing inspiration from Knicks coach

San Juan carved out another lopsided victory by whipping NKT Snipers while Nueva Ecija outplayed Caloocan as the title favorites kept their unblemished mark in the PSL President's Cup late Wednesday night at the Filoil-EcoOil Centre in San Juan.

The Kings, who are being coached by Senator Jinggoy Estrada, ran roughshod over the Snipers, 109-85, as the home team hit a total of 14 three-point shots, five of those coming from former National University player John Galinato.

Galinato made all but two attempts from beyond the arc to lead the way for the Kings' rampaging start and end up with 19 points.

While Galinato took care of the offensive sock for San Juan, Mike Malonzo came away with a double-double performance of 16 points and 11 rebounds.

AC Soberano, who was just a year removed playing for NLEX in the PBA, came off the bench and produced 15 points while Zach Huang contributed 11 and Orlan Wamar and Agem Miranda each tallied 10 for San Juan, which drew double-digit production from six players.
