In their first game for their new teams, they immediately proved their worth by playing a big role in the Floodbuster&#x27;s 96-87 win over Blackwater.Khobuntin scored a career-high 15 points, making seven of his 11 attempts from the field, while Camson contributed nine markers. Khobuntin was at his best in the fourth quarter, where he scored to six points to help his new team break the game open.&quot;Great, amazing effort from our new guys, Glenn and Eric,&quot; Mahindra coach Chris Gavina said after their win. &quot;I think have really bought in quickly. They&#x27;ve only been with us for three days, and they&#x27;ve had an immediate impact towards the rest of our guys, and our guys have embraced them.&quot;The entry of the new players helped refresh and revive a Mahindra team that seemed to be going nowhere for the most part of the conference, and the Floodbuster played with a different energy on Sunday night.&quot;I can honestly say that the togetherness of these guys going into this game was a high-value asset in regards to us winning tonight. They just committed to each other, staying to who they were,&quot; said Gavina.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/basketball/news/2017/05/07/mahindra-floods-blackwater-pick-crucial-victory-25699">READ: Mahindra floods Blackwater to pick up crucial victory</a></li></ul>Khobuntin, who was drafted by NLEX in 2015, was thankful to Gavina for immediately giving him an opportunity, and found that his adjustment to his new team was seamless.&quot;Halos pareho lang din sila ni Coach Yeng (Guiao) ng philosophy,&quot; said Khobuntin.[He and Coach Yeng Guiao have similar philosophies.]Of his career-best effort, he said: &quot;I&#x27;m just playing my game lang. Wala naman akong ipo-prove eh, kasi part talaga &#x27;yun. Ite-trade ka talaga. Nagre-revamp sila, so ako, thankful ako na sinalo ako ng Mahindra.&quot;[I&#x27;m just playing my game. I&#x27;m not trying to prove anything. Trades are part of the business, and I&#x27;m thankful to have landed in Mahindra.]Camson, a second round pick in 2013, was similarly thankful for the trust that Gavina had given him, but vowed that he still has more to show.&quot;Gusto kong ma-prove &#x27;yung sarili ko, na hindi ako ganoong type lang ng player. Mas mayroon pa &#x27;kong ilalabas na hindi lang sa ine-expect nila,&quot; he said.[I want to prove that I still have more to show other than what people expect of me.]For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
