Bali Pure were on a two-game skid before facing Adamson and head coach Roger Gorayeb said they had to steady their record if they ever hope of entering the title race.

“We can’t do anything about my players’ schedule because my team’s core is composed of students and now that their schools have resumed classes my players are far too exhausted compared to when they were playing in summer,” said Gorayeb.

“Some of them would train twice for their school teams, so we really can’t execute drills when we train for Bali Pure.”

Jema Galanza had a game-high 18 points to lead the Lady Falcons.
