We did our job, and we executed our plays. I&#x27;m happy that we pulled out this win. It shows that our hard work and determination paid off,&quot; added the young ace.The Ateneo-La Salle rivalry extended in the NGBL for the two teams went toe-to-toe in the fourth frame as when LSGH was down by one, 79-78, Guillian Quines hit a tough mid-range jumper to overtake their counterparts by one at the 1:20 mark.Kaw then retaliated with four straight points that included a long-range jumper with only 38 ticks left in the contest, while Chris Urbina went 50% from the 15-foot-line to create an 84-80 cushion with only 22 on the game clock.Gian Gomez answered with a triple to get the Greenies to within one, 84-83, but that was the closest that they could get as Ateneo escaped with their second win in four games.On the other hand, James Ison led La Salle with 19 markers, while Quines and Arle Podador had 16 points each.Meanwhile, University of Santo Tomas is a win away from officially clinching a playoff spot.The Tiger Cubs dominated MGC New Life Christian Academy, 134-45, with the España-based team resetting the NGBL&#x27;s new tournament high which was previously held by University of Perpetual Help System DALTA and Lyceum of the Philippines University — 105.The Manu Iñigo-mentored team, whose boys also set the tournament&#x27;s biggest winning margin at 89, was led by Ron Jay Catalan who had 23 points, three assists, two rebounds, and two steals. &quot;Nung second quarter, sabi ni coach na dumepensa lang kami. Sinabi niya lang rin na mag stick kami sa sistema namin,&quot; said Catalan pertaining to their impressive second quarter surge.Already ahead by double digits, 27-14, after the first 10 minutes of action, the Tiger Cubs entered new heights and ousted a 38-to-10 second frame showing over the still-winless New Lifers.They even pushed the pedal further in the third quarter by scoring 37 points while limiting MGC to only eight, and that was all that UST needed as they even led by 91, 134-43, right before Adam Uy&#x27;s last basket in the fourth. Uy, as well as Trey Chua, contributed 11 for MGC, while top-scoring for them was Adrian Tan with 13.In the curtain raiser, Far Eastern University-Diliman improved to 2-2 after routing Lyceum, 90-64.The Baby Tamaraws, much like their fellow UAAP team UST, opened the game with blazing guns as Mico Pascual and Yosef Rañeses powered their team to a nine-to-nothing start.FEU-D then went on to pounce on their NCAA counterparts and ended the first with a 21-6 advantage, and this extended as the game progressed as they eventually led by as huge as 29, 55-26, after a deuce by Jared Gutierrez at the 7:17 mark of the third period. Pascual led the Diliman-based squad with 15 points and six rebounds, while Rañeses followed him with 10.LPU, for their part, banked on Gemel Julio&#x27;s 19 points and six rebounds, and Khian Panerio&#x27;s 12. <div>THE SCORES:</div><div>First Game:</div>FEU-D 90 — Pascual 15, Rañeses 10, Esperanza 9, Godoy 9, Hall 8, Maierhofer 8, De Guzman 7, Dagcutan 6, Gemao 5, Santos 4, Ramos 4, Castillejos 3, Gutierrez 2.LPU 64 — Julio 19, Panerio 12, Dag-um 10, Conde 8, Melchor 7, Bo 3, Pelayo 2, Enguio 2, Abrantes 1, Creus 2, Peña 0, Yonzon 0, Tumo 0, Nodalo 0, Mercado 0.Quarterscores: 21-6, 50-24, 63-43, 90-64.<div>Second Game: </div>Ateneo 85 — Leal 15, Tan 14, Kaw 14, Espinas 7, Asistio 6, Aquino 6, Delos Santos 5, Gatmaitan 5, Urbina 6, Ymasa 3, Trinidad 2, Silvestre 2, Reyes 0. LSGH 83 — Ison 19, Quines 16, Podador 16, Gomez 8, Ortega 6, Osis 6, Sharma 6, Bautista 3, Natividad 2, Yutuc 1, Calanasan 0, Peralta 0, Tud 0.Quarterscores: 24-18, 42-42, 60-57, 85-83.<div>Third Game:</div>UST 134 — Catalan 23, Buenaflor 13, Cinco 12, Kane 12, Solon 12, Bucsit 11, Cañete 10, Acido 9, Loreto 9, Javier 8, Bohol 6, Bandigan 5, Vidanes 4.MGCNLCA 45 — A.
