But the Green Archers capitalized on their size in the succeeding period as they further stretched the lead up to 17 points after Kurt Lojera scored a layup and Cyrus Austria’s freebies, 42-25.The green-and-white squad cruised in the third as Lojera took over in offense. They established their biggest lead at 18 after a slam of Michael Philips, off a pass from Mark Nonoy, at the 1:42 mark in the third, 58-39.The Growling Tigers appeared to have found a sparkplug off the bench in the payoff period as Bryan Santos connected two long-range baskets to cut their deficit to 11, 52-63, with 8:44 left to play.Cabañero and Joshua Fontanilla then added some baskets to even narrow the gap to single digit, 56-65. However, Ben Philips found an antidote to every basket of the Tigers to kill any momentum of their opponent. UST last went near La Salle at the three-minute mark after Evan Nelle was called for an unsportsmanlike foul which resulted in four points for the Tigers, 62-71. But Justine Baltazar and Nelle denied UST a comeback with crucial baskets to run away with the victory. The scores:LA SALLE 75 -- Baltazar 20, Lojera 15, Galman 13, M. Phillips 8, Nelle 4, Austria 4, B. Phillips 4, Nonoy 3, Winston 2, Nwankwo 0.UST 66 -- Fontanilla 20, Cabanero 20, Manaytay 9, Santos 9, Concepcion 4, Ando 2, M.
