The San Juan Knights clamped down on defense and executed their transition plays to trounce the Makati OKBet Kings, 95-84, on Monday, Oct. 9, in the opener of their best-of-three quarterfinal series in the MPBL (Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League) Fifth Season at the Nueva Ecija Coliseum in Palayan City.
While Orlan Wamar paced San Juan's offense again, the Knights focused on Makati main man Robby Celiz on the defensive end.
Showing why he's the MPBL 3-point king, Wamar fired 23 points, including 5 of 9 triple tries, issued five assists and snagged four rebounds to earn another best player honor. Celiz, who usually tallies double-doubles, was held to seven points and four rebounds, sapping the Kings' firepower.
