The 1Bataan Risers relied on a huge fourth quarter rampage to defeat the Sarangani Marlins, 90-80, in the 2024 MPBL season on late Monday night at the Orion Sports Complex in Orion, Bataan.
Down by as much as 11 points, the Risers slowly clawed their way back until they took a 73-66 lead early in the fourth quarter, behind connections from Yves Sazon, Dante Paguio Jr., and Mitchelle Maynes.
The Marlins countered with a 10-0 run to take a 76-73 lead, but the Risers answered with baskets from Sazon, Maynes, and Alex Ramos to establish a 90-80 lead with 38 seconds left.
Sazon led the way for the Risers with 15 points, Jeff Santos added 13 markers, Maynes and Jamil Gabawan contributed 11 markers apiece, and Ramos ended with 10 points in the come-from-behind win.
“Siguro, nung second half, mas nakapag adjust kami sa depensa namin kaya nakuha namin ‘yung panalo,” Gabawan said. “Nung first half, nagkakagulo pa kami, kaya hindi kami maka-execute ng maayos, pero nakabawi naman kami nung second half.”
Ryan Sual top-scored for the Marlins with 18 points, including five three-point conversions, while Felix John Villarente added 15 markers.
