BARAKO Bull outlasted Kia Carnival, 95-86, to forge a three-way at the top of the standing on Sunday in the 40th Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner’s Cup elimination round at the Araneta Coliseum.

Not even the presence of head coach and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao who just arrived from the US, could save the day for the expansion team Kia as import Solomon Alabi and JC Intal combined for 44 points to join Purefoods Star Hotshots and Meralco Bolts at the top with similar 3-0 win-loss slate. The victory was Energy Cola’s best start so far for a long while.
