The San Juan Knights beat Valenzuela’s XUR Homes Realty Inc. with a commanding score of 115-86, raising their record to 19-5 and strengthening their hold in the standings as third place in the North division out of the 29 teams competing in the tournament.
San Juan’s dominance was evident as early as the first quarter, and they continued to extend their lead until they held a commanding 103-66 advantage. The planning skills of Nikko Panganiban, Zach Huang, Marwin Taywan, AC Soberano, and Orlan Wamar made this powerful push possible.

Soberano showed his skill by scoring 11 points, and Wamar led the offense by distributing 15 assists, scoring six points, and making three steals, which was an impressive stunt.
