In true MVP style, Kevin Quiambao delivered the game-winner to power defending champion De La Salle with his late heroics in a tight opening affair, 78-75 at the expense of National University on Sunday night, Sept. 8, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Apart from Quiambao, Mike Phillips listed a double-double performance with 12 points on top of 11 rebounds to keep his contributions well-rounded, while EJ Gollena added 10 markers to prove his worth in his new starting role for the Green Archers. Before their opening bid completely crashed and burned, though, Earl Abadam knocked a jumper followed by two freebies to pull La Salle within three, 68-71, with 3:31 left to go.
However, PJ Palacielo refused to let NU go down without a determined fightback as he sank a much-needed layup in the next possession.
