Biñan turned on its defensive switch early then held a late uprising from Caloocan before winning, 84-69, in the PSL Presidcent’s Cup at the Caloocan Sports Complex just recently.
The Tatak Gel jumped the gun early, but even more punishing was their defense as they took a sizable 50-27 lead at the turn.
But the Supremos came fired up in the third, limiting the Tatak Gel to just eight points to get back into the contest and trailed by only 10, 48-58, entering the final quarter.
Biñan, however, countered with a quick 8-2 run to start the fourth period and appeared to gain second wind. The Tatak Gel were never seriously threatened from there.
By notching its 16th win ahead of its last elimination round schedule, Biñan has moved up in the team standings ahead of its final assignment scheduled on Thursday where it hosts Davao Occidental.
Caloocan lost for the fourth time in 16 games, but is still guaranteed of a twice-to-beat advantage.
