Escamis, the reigning NCAA Player of the Week, shot just 4-of-15 from the field to wind up with 10 points, while Hernandez converted on only three of his 15 attempts to finish with 8 markers. Perpetual’s Arthur Roque had a golden opportunity to give the Altas the victory after both teams went scoreless in the final 2 minutes and 35 seconds of the tight ball game, but his three-pointer from the right corner rimmed out with just 2 seconds left. In the second game, the JRU Heavy Bombers closed out the first round with back-to-back wins after rolling past the cellar-dwelling Arellano Chiefs, 88-72.
