MANILA—The Ateneo alumni tandem of Gian Mamuyac and Anton Asistio took the lead for Rain Or Shine as the team tripped Phoenix, 91-80, in their PBA Philippine Cup game on Wednesday night at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Asistio sparked the Elasto Painters' offense by firing six threes, including two in a pivotal 13-0 run that gave them the lead for good, 80-71, with 5:55 to go.
Mamuyac then helped finish the job just when the Fuel Masters were threatening by scoring back-to-back baskets in the end.
Mamuyac paced ROS, now solely on top of the team standings at 5-1, with 22 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one steal, while Asistio added 20 points, three rebounds, and three assists.
