BIÑAN—Quezon shut Biñan down late in the second half to move one win away from another trip to the MPBL National Finals with an 81-67 Game 3 road win on Wednesday night at the Alonte Sports Arena.
After letting the Tatak Gel tie the game midway through the third quarter despite leading big early on, the Huskers bounced back by ending the period on a 15-5 run before limiting them to just eight points in the fourth.
Judel Fuentes led Quezon, which reclaimed home-court advantage in the best-of-five series but can close out the series on the road in Game 4 on Friday night, with 15 points, one rebound, and one assist off the bench.
Jolo Manansala and Joshua Yerro each added 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting, while Cyrus Tabi dished out a league season-high 18 assists alongside six points, seven rebounds, and two steals.
Nic Cabañero led Biñan with 19 points, eight rebounds, five assists, four steals, and one block, but he went 7-for-20 from the field and a dismal 4-for-12 from the foul line.
