Four players punched in twin figures led by Britt Brigoli with 18 points as KIA Motors notched its second victory in three starts.
Allan Dimco and Vincent Menguito combined for 33 points, while Floyd Taboada added a dozen markers for KIA Motors, which led by as much as 18 points early in the second period, 45-27, although they closed the first half only with a 49-40 advantage.
So crippled in manpower that Gaisano had to play with only four players in the second and third quarters due to he fouling out of Arvin Infante and Jeffrey Taghoy.
KIA Motors launched another furious offensive in the third canto to break the game wide open, 81-57 - an imposing bulge that ballooned to 29 points, 90-61.
Only Quinton Brian Heruela cashed in double figures for Gaisano Tisa with 12 points.
