PASAY--Star stretched its winning run with a 127-100 blowout victory over GlobalPort in the nightcap of the PBA Commissioner's Cup doubleheader at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday.
The Hotshots immediately opened a double-digit edge and kept the lead huge until the final buzzer to score their third straight victory in the mid-season tournament.

Shawn Taggart fired 37 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks for GlobalPort, which still misses the services of Stanley Pringle and Terrence Romeo.
