In last Monday’s game, the Knights clearly had San Sebastian’s number, scoring in several plays orchestrated by Mark Cruz, who masterfully orchestrated Letran’s offensive in the second half.

Cruz himself finished in double figures with 12 points, eight in the fourth quarter, while Jam Cortes and Kevin Alas got their usual numbers with 16 and 15 points, respectively. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
