MUNTINLUPA--Pasig found its offensive rhythm just in time beat Imus, 63-55, in an MPBL action on Monday night at the Muntinlupa Sports Center.

In a game that saw both teams only scoring nine points in the third quarter, Pasig blasted off midway in the fourth quarter, stealing the game from Imus on a 15-0 run to take a 61-51 lead with 1:23 to go as the latter fizzled way too soon after a solid start to the period.

Jun Manzo led Pasig, which moved up to 5-3, with 20 points, one assist, and two steals, while Jason Melano added 15 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal, both coming off the bench.

Genmar Bragais put up 13 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and one steal for Imus, which fell to its third straight loss and dropped to 2-6.
