The cellar dwellers of the league proved that they are deadly even if they are on the bottom of the standings, though Letran finished the first half with a 36-28 lead over the Generals, they still were able to pull off a surprise by outscoring the Knights in the fourth quarter to pull off an upset victory against the league leading Knights.

\
It was a huge first three quarters for the Cardinals like their game against Lyceum, Mapua led the Blazers by as much as 22 points in the first quarter ending it at 29-7 it went up to 29 points at the end of the third quarter at 67-38 but I think the Cardinals still lacks the consistency in the end gameas they almost played a catch up game against the Blazers good thing they were able to survive the late run of Saint Benilde in the latter part of the game to earn their 4th victory to get in to a quadruple tie for the 4th spot.


Allwell Oraeme led the Cardinals with 19 points, while Rookie and former Baby Tamaraw JJ Domingo led the Blazers with 14 points.

Score:


Mapua Cardinals 76: Oraeme 19, Menina 13, Nimes 11, Aguirre 7, Isit 6, Raflores 6, Biteng 4, Que 3, Nieles 3, Villasenor 2, Brana 2. 

CSB Blazers 64: JJ Domingo 14, Grey 14, Nayve 12, Fajarito 10, San Juan 6, Ongteco 4, Jonson 2, Deles 2.
