MANILA, Philippines - Taguig clipped MP Pacman GenSan, 99-76, behind a fiery third quarter run to clinch the first finals berth in the fifth leg of the Tournament of the Philippines (TOP) at the Emilio Aguinaldo College gym in Manila yesterday.

Veteran Eric dela Cuesta and guard Lou Gatumbato tallied 22 and 20 points, respectively, as Taguig broke away from a tight first half game to post its second straight win in the event jointly organized by the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) and Liga Pilipinas.

Dela Cuesta hit nine of 13 tries from the field while Gatumbato dished out nine assists and pulled down five rebounds to spearhead Taguig’s romp.
