The Blazers leaned on Justin Gutang, who found holes in the Mapua defense with 12 points, highlighted by a three-point play in the last 36.2 seconds that proved pivotal.

From that point on, Gutang’s efforts gave the Blazers a 69-62 cushion on the way to their third straight win in a tie with the defending champion San Beda Red Lions.
