Yankie Haruna also delivered with 16 points for the Blazers, who finally tasted victory after a series of frustrating setbacks that left them in dire straits going into the final stretch of the second round.

Marwin Taywan attempted to resuscitate EAC’s bid, but bungled the opportunity in the face of the Blazers’ smothering defense.

Taywan launched a desperation three in the dying seconds that could have cut the deficit to a single possession only to be swatted away by Mark Sangco, who sealed the 13th defeat of the Generals in 16 games.
