IMPORT Jason Dixon fired 14 points in the fourth
quarter as the Coca-Cola Tigers beat the Welcoat Dragons 94-87
Friday to keep the top spot in the 2008 Smart-PBA Fiesta Conference
at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
It was the second time that the
6’9” center-forward from Liberty University played a heroic role
for the Tigers, who improved their win-loss record to 8-4 slate,
just a game away from Red Bull, Talk ‘N Text and Air 21, which are
both spurting a 7-5 card.
Dixon finished with 26 points, 18
rebounds and 5 assists for Coca-Cola, which scored a 98-96 win in
their first meeting on April 9.
Jay-Arr Reyes led the Dragons
with 18 points while import Marquis Gainous and Rob Wainright
chipped in 13 points each.
