Tapos kinapitan na lang namin, nagtiwala kami sa mga kasama namin. &#x27;Yung defense din kasi tsaka &#x27;yung blockings ng Nxled sobrang established, so nahirapan din kami so credits sa kanila doon,&quot; said Santos. </p><p>The High Speed Hitters in the second chapter would later on orchestrate five unanswered points at the 20-18 mark, started by a Samoilenko hit, to make it a 2-0 lead. </p><p>The onslaught continued as the red jerseys started out strong in the final frame, 12-3, to control the rest of the match.</p><p>After kicking off the import-laced tourney on a sweet note, coach Ricafort hopes to continue the momentum as they face &quot;harder&quot; teams in their next matches.</p><p> &quot;Yes, good start. Sana matuloy tuloy namin hanggang sa last two games. Mabigat na &#x27;yung last two, yung Chery [Tiggo] and Farm Fresh,&quot; he said. </p><p>The Chameleons, now at a 1-2 win-loss card, have the chance to rebound against Farm Fresh on Saturday at the same Metro Manila venue. </p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO: </strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lkjowQ05Awo??si=iBcOvaVykXYb0x0x&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
