MANILA, Philippines—After fumbling a PBA D-League Finals appearance eight hours prior, La Salle vented out its anger in a blowout win over San Sebastian, 75-47, in Group B to clinch a quarterfinals spot in the Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup at San Juan Arena on Sunday.

The Green Archers limited the Stags, who also played in the D-League semifinals earlier, to a preseason-low 47 points.

“I have to give it to the boys. We were ready for two games, our mindset was set for two games today yet we still played hard. Even if San Sebastian put forth their second team or third team, we still played hard,” said Green Archers head coach Derrick Pumaren, whose team extended its unbeaten run to five games.
