“Ang hirap. Kita naman eh, prepared ‘yung Queenpin. Kailangan namin ‘yung mga ganitong laro para maka-adjust kami at makita pa ‘yung mga kailangan gawin,” said Biñan-Tatak Gel head coach Jack Azcueta after his team held off Pasig’s late charge.
The Angels entered the fourth quarter with a nine-point lead before pulling away in the closing minutes.
Cabinbin delivered an outstanding all-around performance, finishing with a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists to go along with seven rebounds and six steals.
