Drawing big games from its big men, Jumbo Plastic ended Hog’s Breath Cafe’s perfect run with an 87-70 rout in the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup yesterday at Ynares Sports Arena.

Jason Ballesteros (17 points, 17 rebounds), Marion Magat (11 points, 10 rebounds) and Jan Colina (15 points, nine rebounds) dominated the paint as the Giants snapped the Razorbacks’ seven-game winning streak.

The loss pushed the Razorbacks down to second (7-1) as Big Chill grabbed the solo lead (8-1) following an 89-75 blowout win over Cagayan Valley.
