Mohamed Konateh posted 11 points as well as 21 rebounds and five assists.<br/><br/>Facing a 67-62 deficit to start the final canto after they saw their 17-point advantage disappear, Bautista caught fire for the Morayta-based hoopers and spearheaded a 10-3 spurt which was built on three-pointers and lay-ins from him.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);min-height:13.8px"><span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);min-height:13.8px"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1718191476220IMG_3076.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="FilOil EcoOil 17th Preseason Cup bronze medalists FEU Tamaraws.
