LATEST STORIES PBA IMAGESCalvin Abueva was back after his no-show act and Alaska head coach feels things are starting to fall into place for the Aces.This was despite his team absorbing yet another meltdown Wednesday night to stay winless this conference at 0-4.ADVERTISEMENT “You also saw how important Calvin is to us and I thought Calvin was great tonight. I really thought he was great,” he said.But despite big numbers from Henton and Abueva, Alaska still couldn’t stop its seemingly interminable slide dating back to last conference.Compton, however, is convinced Alaska’s dark days would be over soon.“So, am I happy with 12 straight? That’s not a question you’re obviously gonna ask me—of course nobody is. I’ll tell you right now though, I think something special is about to happen to our team,” he said.“We’re gonna come off, and we’re gonna see Alaska back. We showed flashes of it tonight.”ADVERTISEMENT Alaska won’t play until Aug. 23 against Blackwater, a team which is also winless at this time.“Today, I felt like we’re heading into the right direction. Now we got 19 days to become Alaska again. We just gotta keep working towards it. That’s all we could do.”Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next Robredo: True leaders perform well despite having ‘uninspiring’ boss PLAY LIST 02:49Robredo: True leaders perform well despite having ‘uninspiring’ boss02:42PH underwater hockey team aims to make waves in SEA Games01:44Philippines marks anniversary of massacre with calls for justice01:19Fire erupts in Barangay Tatalon in Quezon City01:07Trump talks impeachment while meeting NCAA athletes02:49World-class track facilities installed at NCC for SEA Games MOST READ Church, environmentalists ask DENR to revoke ECC of Quezon province coal plant “Results don’t always indicate growth.
