Finals:
Santurce 4, Ponce 0:
Cangrejeros de Santurce swept Leones easily in four games thanks to
Finals MVP Carlos Arroyo who averaged 21.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.7
assists in those four games. Santurce played the finals without center
Jose Ortiz because hehad a right ankle injury.
The defense was the key in this series as they held Ponce's Eddie
Casiano to an average of 16.2 points per game.
Monty Wilson also was big on offense averging 18.0 points and 7.5
rebounds.
In the first game of the finals, Ponce had the advantage almost the
whole game but Edwin Santiago came down with a left ankle injury after
stealing a pass for Carlos Arroyo in the third quarter and changed the
momentum back to Santurce. Santurce won by the final of 84-76. In the
first game, Arroyo scored 18 points and 6 assists. For Ponce, Eddie
Casiano and Anthony Bonner combined for 20 points apiece.
The second game in Ponce was a big challenge for Santurce, as they went
to JUuan 'Pachin' Vicens Auditorium in front of more than 12,000
screaming Ponce fans but Julio Toro and Cangrejeros were not intimidated
and got a 85-72 win. From the second quarter, Santurce established their
game and disrupted Ponce's offense leaving only two scorers in double
figures. Carlos Arroyo led Santurce again with 25 points, 9 rebounds and
4 assists. For Ponce, Eddie Casiano had 22 and Orlando Vega 16.
The third game was an easy one at home against Ponce as they held
Casiano to only two points. James Forrest made his debut with Ponce and
only scored 2 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Santurce used the whole
bench and Arroyo scored 20 points in 27 minutes. Monty Wilson scored 16
points and Orlando Santiago netted 13 points.
The fourth game was a very close and fought game but Carlos Arroyo
penetrated with just seconds left and got fouled as he hitted a lay up
to tie the game and got the free throw to put Santurce up by one point
and the game ended by the final of 82-81. Arroyo ended as the finals MVP
and scored 23 points, grabbed 6 boards and gave 6 assists. For Ponce,
Eddie Casiano scored 21 points, Bobby Joe Hatton scored 19 points,
Anthony Bonner got 18 points and 15 boards and Javier Colon scored 11
points.
Santurce saw consistent offense from Monty Wilson who scored 20 points
in the final game. Also the bench was a factor as Alex Falcon averaged
10.1 points and Edgar Padilla averaged 10.0 points.
