Jared Dillinger says no hard feelings after scuffle with Calvin Abueva
“We’re two men with high emotions going after the ball.”
That’s how Meralco star Jared Dillinger described to InterAksyon.com the scuffle involving him and Calvin Abueva in the fourth quarter of the Bolts’ win over Alaska on Friday.
Dillinger had his nose bloodied after getting caught by Abueva on a drive.
The two men remained tangled at the baseline, and Dillinger pinned Abueva against the railing separating the court from the seats. Both men were assessed a technical foul after the incident.
“No hard feelings between me and Calvin. He works hard, he’s intense,” said Dillinger.
“We just knew the importance of this game is high so both teams were really working their butts off tonight. It’s just two guys going after the ball playing with intensity.”
Alaska coach Luigi Trillo, for his part, did not play up the issue, attributing it to competitive fire between the two men.
“Both teams wanting to win and it’s part of it,” said Trillo. “It’s basketball. We need to be better.”
