Quezon Province came from behind to stun Manila SV Batang Sampaloc in the nightcap.
MANILA, Philippines – Joseph Gabayni sustained what twins Jaycee and Jayvee Marcelino triggered as Zamboanga Master Sardines thwarted South Cotabato, 85-83, on Monday and wrested the solo lead in the 6th MPBL Season at the San Andres Sports Complex in Manila.
South Cotabato, formerly Gensan, threatened anew at 80-75 following back-to-back triples by Val Acuna and Kyle Tolentino, only for Gabayni to knock in a short jumper that pulled down the Warriors to a 2-3 record. Other Huskers who delivered were LJ Gonzales with seven points, seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block; and Domark Matillano with nine points and five rebounds.
The Bacolenos, led by JJ Espanola, rallied behind a 31-point fourth quarter explosion, but fell short of overtaking the Batang Kankaloo, who rebounded from a 66-69 loss to Manila on their debut on April 23. Veterans Reil Cervantes and Gabby Espinas paced Caloocan with 14 and 10 points, respectively, followed by Joco Tayongtong with nine.
