Caida used a late spurt to fend off AMA, 103-84, and stay unbeaten in the 2016 PBA D-League Aspirants’ Cup Tuesday at Ynares Sports Arena.

Jason Perkins finally found his groove and delivered the goods for the Tile Masters, scoring nine of his team-high 16 points in the fourth quarter pullaway. He also had five rebounds.

Caida jumped to a 17-point lead, 57-40 in the third quarter before AMA, leaning behind the trio of Jerramy King, Gab Dagangon, and Rashawn McCarthy, clawed back to the game and trimmed the deficit to just three, 81-78.

But that was the closest the Titans got, as Grey and Perkins conspired to help Caida go on a 22-6 blast to finish the game.

“We were lucky that this was AMA’s first game and the first half was a learning process for them,” said Caida coach Caloy Garcia. “The nice thing is that the confidence of the players never waned  and they worked hard for it.”
