MANILA, Philippines —La Salle star Mike Phillips was on the receiving end of a poster dunk by UE Red Warriors’ Precious Momowei in the second quarter of their rematch in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament.
Instead of hanging his head over being posterized in what could be the dunk of the season, Phillips stayed on the course, resulting in his best game yet to get back at their first-round tormentor.
“Momowei every time I go against him, he’s such an energy guy and I can say, he’s the heart and soul of UE,” said the fourth-year La Salle big man. “Of course, when he made that play, I really felt the UE crowd. But I kept on thinking in those moment what our coaches, especially Coach Gian [Nazario] and coach Topex [Robinson], taught us: ‘don’t retaliate. Don’t stray from the system just because you want to get back at him.’”
