The Tams responded with key defensive gems soon enough, as Russel Escoto, Roger Pogoy, Reymar Jose, and Monbert Arong cashed in on key baskets to cruise to victory.

Jerome Garcia paced Adamson with 16 markers, while Joseph Nalos chipped in eight. JD Tungcab and Kristian Bernardo tallied 10 each. - GMA News
