The 25-year old player was the main contributor (36 points, eight rebounds and six assists) to his team's victory, helping them to crush NLEX RW (#11, 3-6) with 20-point margin 118-98. It allowed Bay Area D. to take over top position in the Filipino PBA. Bay Area D. have a solid 8-2 record.

The second best player in last round's games was young Arvin Tolentino (195-F-1995) of North Port. Tolentino had a very good evening with a double-double of 31 points and 12 rebounds. It was enough for North Port to edge Terrafirma Dyip (#13, 0-9) 91-85. This victory allowed North Port to move up to 5th position in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 5-5 record is not bad and everything may still change. Tolentino is a newcomer at North Port, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Quincy Miller-Scott (206-F-1992, agency: Slash Sports) of league's second-best FiberXers.

They will still need more victories. But 8-2 record is not that bad... Miller-Scott has a great season in Philippines.
