Rosa Multi-Purpose Sports Complex here. Taking quick control of the game, the Knights raced to a lead as high as 27 points, 69-42, late in the third quarter. However, the Heroes responded with a 17-2 run spanning through the midway part of the fourth quarter that cut the lead down to 12, 71-59. Back-to-back baskets from Michael Calisaan seemed to have doused cold water on Laguna's endgame attack as San Juan's lead was stretched back to 16, 75-59, but the home team responded with five straight points to draw them to within just 11, 64-75, with 1:47 left. Judel Fuentes finally shut the door on the Heroes with the dagger three in the next play before the hosts scored the last four points of the game to keep the final margin respectable.

"It's for OKBet to do that, not on our side. Ang OKBet dapat ang mag-apply nyan sa Ad Standards Council. Na-address naman 'yan ng OKBet, and they will do that for us para masagot natin 'yan, although nag-reply na tayo kay (OKBet should be the one applying to the Ad Standards Council. OKBet already addressed it, and they will do that for us to address the issue, although we already replied to) Chairman Baham [Mitra]," Duremdes said. Last week, GAB chairman Baham Mitra revealed over the
