"In PBA Governors' Cup basketball, winning on nights when the opposing team makes a second-half push comes down to defensive rebounding and ball security. Our group stayed connected in Q1 (21–19), walled off the paint (46–40 points in the paint), and trusted the extra pass in crunch time."

"We knew Utep would come out aggressive, so our focus was dictating the tempo early and getting our second unit involved (30 bench points). Once our defensive stops fueled our transition spacing in the second half, the rim opened up and we executed our fourth-quarter sets to finish strong at 86–81."
