Photo from PBA Images.</div>As the Bolts were only ahead by eight after an and-one by Stanley Pringle early in the fourth, Cansino hit a triple from the corner to re-extend their lead to 11, 86-75, with still over eight minutes left in the game.A Paolo Hernandez trey and an Antonio Hester basket in consecutive possessions got TerraFirma to within seven, 88-81, at the 7:15 mark, and another triple from the former with over six minutes remaining cut their deficit to six, 90-84. However, Quinto — who exited the game early in the fourth period due to an apparent left knee injury — sank three triples upon his return, and this allowed the Bolts to increase their lead to 18, 103-85.A Chris Banchero three-pointer at the two-minute mark completely shut the door on the Dyip whose defense was absent yet again for the third straight game, and this victory by Meralco propelled them to 2-1 in Group A.On the other hand, TerraFirma, who were led by Pringle’s 19 points, six assists, five rebounds, and two steals, and Hester’s 18-point, eight-rebound game, fell to 0-3.Another silver lining for the hapless Dyip was former Mapua University standout Paolo Hernandez as he had his best game as a pro so far with 15 markers (4/7 3pts) and two assists.<div>The Scores:</div>MERALCO 107 – Durham 23, Quinto 22, Banchero 17, Cansino 16, Maliksi 12, Mendoza 5, Hodge 4, Caram 4, Torres 2, Pascual 2, Bates 0, Pasaol 0, Rios 0.TERRAFIRMA 91 – Pringle 19, Hester 18, Hernandez 15, Tiongson 9, Standhardinger 9, Sangalang 7, Carino 7, Carino 4, Ferrer 4, Cahilig 3, Hanapi 3, Olivario 0.QUARTERS: 31-19, 56-43, 79-67, 107-91.<div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3067179"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
