Red Lions big man Donald Tankoua tallied 13 points on a perfect 6-of-6 clip. AC Soberano scorched hot from deep and poured all his 12 points in the 2nd frame alone. The Pirates, now at 7-3, ended their two-game skid behind the shifty Marcelino twins and their star big man Mike Nzeussue, who finished with 23 points, 9 boards, and 2 blocks.
Salado, who had 21 points and 7 assists, scored 8 of the last 11 points of Arellano and drained a triple to keep them within striking distance, 90-92, with 21.7 seconds remaining at the clock, but eventually missed a potential game-tying three. Coming from a neck-and-neck start, Letran only started to pull away through Ular's dominance in the paint and blasted an 11-0 run after Muyang went down from a hard foul with 6:27 remaining in the game.
