They&#x27;re the No. 1 team when it comes to points, they&#x27;re No. 1 in assists. They started out very well. I thought in the third quarter, we were more solid all around,&quot; said Meralco coach Luigi Trillo, who credited his veterans for stepping up in the third quarter.&quot;We&#x27;re a little bit choppy in the first, but I thought the third quarter was enough for us,&quot; he added.Meralco improved to 3-1, putting them in a tie with TNT for the No. 1 spot in Group A.
