Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors scored 52 points against Sacramento Kings including 37 points in the 3rd Quarter to set an NBA Record (9/9 from 3, 4/4 from 2 and 2/2 from FT line).
The previous record for most points in a quarter was 33 points made by George Gervin in 1978 and Carmelo Anthony in 2008. We need pure shooters like Klay Thompson in Gilas Pilipinas! I think only Allan Caidic in his prime can do something like this in the PBA.

Arwind Santos was named PBA Finals MVP! Congratulations Arwind “Bagyo” Santos and the San Miguel Beermen for winning the 2015 PBA Philippine Cup Championship!
Arwind Santos averaged 18.4 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in the 2015 Philippine Cup Finals. Read recap at San Miguel Beer wins Philippine Cup Title
Arwind Santos has been the most consistent San Miguel Beer player in the PBA Finals and in the Alaska side, Calvin Abueva has been playing great in the series. One of the two may win the PBA Finals MVP Award unless June Mar Fajardo or Dondon Hontiveros will explode in Game 7.
Even if both Arwind Santos and Calvin Abueva are great players, they have not been part of the last 2 iterations of Gilas Pilipinas. Can both be a good fit for Gilas Pilipinas 3.0?
