BIÑAN – Host team Biñan beat a young but dangerous SGA-St. Benilde side in a defensive struggle, 67-46, to get back on the winning track in the PSL President’s Cup at the Alonte Sports Arena here.
The Tatak Gel held the Blazers to a measly 26% (19-of-71) shooting from the field as none among the youngsters were able to produce in double figures.
Biñan, on the other hand, banked on the solid games of its own young players – Kenny Rogers Rocacurva and Jimboy Estrada, who combined for 26 points as former PBA stars Jayjay Helterbrand and KG Canaleta took the backseat in offense.
Nevertheless, the Tatak Gel got back on the winning track after absorbing their first loss in the tournament against San Juan last week and improved their win-loss record to 14-1.
The loss was the fifth in 14 games for the Blazers, who welcomed the return of head coach Charles Tiu.
Tiu, St. Benilde’s coach in the NCAA, handled the Strong Group Athletics’ campaign in the Dubai International Tournament.
