MANILA, Philippines—Chadao-Far Eastern University handily beat University of Perpetual Help, 83-64, to get to an even record in the 2019 PBA D-League Thursday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
The Tamaraws improved to a 3-3 record for the sixth spot in the Foundation Group while the Alas dropped to 1-4 at eighth.
Patrick Tchuente teamed up with Kenneth Tuffin to lead the Tamaraws to a blistering 12-0 start and maintained that lead finishing the first quarter up 26-14.
Branrey Biernes led Chadao-FEU’s offense with 15 points while Wendel Comboy added 14 points of his own.
“For the past week our focus was our defense and our aggressiveness on the full court,” said Tamaraws head coach Olsen Racela. “We made it hard for them to execute with our full court pressure.”
The Tamaraws had one stingy defense and limited Perpetual to just a 29 percent shooting clip and forcing the Altas to 18 turnovers.
Ben Adamos led the Altas with 23 points and 13 boards.
