Kim Aurin credited his teammates, especially Jielo Razon and Joey Barcuma, for helping steer University of Perpetual Help System DALTA past Lyceum of the Philippines University, 72-69, on Sunday.
Aurin delivered in an all-important game, finishing with a team-high 22 points, five rebounds, and one assist as they remained in play-in hunt. But setting aside his own stellar outing, Aurin said it was the contributions from his teammates that mattered.
Razon finished with 14 points, five rebounds, two steals, and one assist while Barcuma posted seven points, three assists, and one rebound but he provided the hustle on the defense.
"Siguro 'yung depensa namin lalo na si Joey Barcuma, siya talaga nagdala ng depensa namin tsaka 'yung communication namin sa loob ay pure talaga, para kaming family sa loob," Aurin said.
"'Yung mindset namin sa laro ngayon ay ayaw namin magpatalo kasi ayaw namin mag-exit nang masama," added Aurin.
"Kaya ayun, gusto namin iapak muna 'yung isang paa bago kami mag-focus sa isang paa."
Ahead of their last game against Emilio Aguinaldo College on Friday, Aurin stressed he's ready to give his all.
"Good luck sa amin and patayan na talaga, palitan na ng mukha. Ayaw namin sayangin 'tong oportunity na 'to na galing kaming pandemic."
