PETRON BLAZE BOOSTERS over SHOPINAS.COM CLICKERS, 102-77
Petron Blaze got a huge lift from an unexpected source when the Boosters blew Shopinas.com away with a record-setting production in the third quarter.

Reyes, who averaged just 1.8 points in the conference, finished the game with 7 points and had a career-high 4 blocks that he all collected in the telling quarter.
Overall, Petron improved to 5 wins and 3 losses to tie idle Meralco.
Arwind Santos collected 18 points and had 11 rebounds for his sixth double-double effort. Joseph Yeo and Alex Cabagnot each had 16 points and combined for 11 assists for the Boosters, who netted 35 points on 22 Shopinas.com turnovers.
Renren Ritual showed the way for the Clickers, scoring 11 of his team-high 17 points in the fourth quarter when the game had already been decided. RJ Jazul scored 16 points and James Sena added 13 for the Clickers, who managed just 9 points on 4-of-20 shooting in the third period.
