Reinforcement Richard Verayo nailed two triples from the left quarter court in the final 10 seconds and AACI Transport upset Basecom, 84-83, in a game, where it never led until the final five seconds.
In the first game, import Donald
Quilantang made a rousing debut for Chemisolutions, leading the team to an 84-81
triumph over JSY Transport/Unitra. The former West Negros College Mustang finished
with 18 points, 10 coming in the fourth quarter, and made a crucial steal off
his counterpart, Ritchie Militante, late in the game to help seal the win.
