Morales, a former varsity standout and now coach of the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos Rams, delivered 18 points, including Krua Thai's last 5 and capped his heroics by hitting a lay-up in a backdoor play with Godoy Cepriano for an 87-84 cushion with 50 seconds left. It was Krua Thai's second win in as many games, sharing the Bracket
B lead with Magnolia at 2-0. |
