Legendary PBA marksman Allan Caidic left the visiting NBA stars in awe after draining 14 three-point shots to power the Red Team to a 177 - 167 trimming of the White Team in the 2010 NBA Asia Challenge tonight at the Araneta Coliseum.

The 47-year-old "Triggerman" led all scorers with 54 points in only 24 minutes as he and former NBA All-Stars Glen Rice and Gary Payton broke away early in the final quarter to post the victory over the quintet of Chris Webber and Mitch Richmond.

Ex-Crispa Redmanizer Atoy Co also stole the show with his on-court antics. He finished with 10 points on five-of-21 shooting.
