“In the first half, EAC burned us with a lot of second chance points. Thankfully, we took that away from them in the second,” said Fernandez.

Rookie Jerald Serrano tallied 12 points for the Generals, who drew futile scoring from their main hitters Noube Happi and John Tayongtong. Happi and Tayongtong combined for just 13 points.
