                    [Summary] => The Philippine STAR outmuscled Red Bull Barako in the shaded area in the fourth quarter as it pulled off an 85-83 victory yesterday to clinch the Coke Light Invitational basketball tournament crown before a small but loud Saturday crowd at the Makati Coliseum.


Jon de Guzman and Roy Canlas were the source of inside strength of the STARmen as the two combined for 13 points in the homestretch in a win that erased the stigma of their subpar effort in last year’s STAR Friendship League.
