MANILA, Philippines — National University destroyed Perpetual Help, 94-65, on Friday to continue its winning roll in the 2013 Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup at the Arena in San Juan.
The Bulldogs added the Altas to the list of their victims as they grabbed their fifth straight victory.
With Ray Parks leading the charge, NU stretched its lead to as big as 40 points in the second half. Its 36-point first quarter lead got the ball rolling.
Parks led with 19 points, nailing five triples, while Alfred Aroga added 13 markers and eight boards.
“I’m happy with the way we played defense early,” said head coach Eric Altamirano. “But we had a lot of turnovers in the end.”
Perpetual Help outscored NU, 23-13, in the fourth quarter — even going on an 8-0 run at one point, but the lead was already insurmountable.
Juneric Baloria finished with 18 points while Gerald Dizon added 16.
