MANILA, Philippines—With their fiery coach sending out a challenge, Rain or Shine’s Jeff Chan answered the call with a career-defining game.

Better-known as a loose-cannon shooter, Chan mustered the rebounder in him as he brought down 10 boards, a career-high for him, to go along with his 23 points and three steals.

“Last game we did not have the effort, when we saw the video us players realized that what we did was wrong,” Chan said after they demolished Barako Bull Energy 99-71 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Friday evening.

“Some of us were really hit with the message, including myself.”
