PBL: Sena stars for undermanned Licealiz


MANILA, Philippines – James Sena was Licealiz’ force inside the paint helping the undermanned Hair Doctors score an 87-78 win over the Pharex Bidang Generix in the 2009 PBL PG Flex Unity Cup Thursday at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City. Sena, Jose Rizal University’s 6-foot-6 center, scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as Licealiz improved its record to 2-2 while handing Pharex its third loss in four games. Sena came off the bench banging in six points in a pivotal 10-0 run to end Pharex’s comeback bid. The Batang Generix nearly overcame a 21-point deficit and came to within one point, 73-72, 3:59 left in the game clock. The Hair Doctors were without Chris Tiu and JV Casio, who both joined the US training of the RP Smart Gilas Team, and Jervy Cruz, who is out with the flu. Josh Urbiztondo, Ian Saladaga, Chris Ross and Francis Allera finished with 12 points each for Pharex while Sean Co had 10 all scored in the fourth quarter. – GMANews.TV Games Saturday (San Juan Gym) 2:00 p.m. – Licealiz vs Oracle 4:00 p.m. – Cobra vs Pharex
