PASIG--AMA continued to stay alive in the race for a spot in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup semifinals after mauling Blu-Malaysia, 113-84, at the Ynares Sports Arena on Monday.
The Titans broke loose in the second quarter and never looked back to score their first back-to-back wins in club history.
James Martinez fired 32 points on five triples, while Rashawn McCarthy added 24 points, seven rebounds, and five assists for AMA, which still needs to win its next four games and hope that Tanduay, which is battling Cafe France-CEU as of posting, will fumble in its own semis bid.
Chun Hong Ting led Blu-Malaysia with 21 markers.
