PBA shot 40 percent from the field, 30 percent (3-10) from the 3-point line, and 17 percent (1-6) at the free throw line in the opening 20 minutes. 

 After a Cooper basket by the Sailfish cut the lead to 14 Rollins would get a 3-pointer by Long and layups by Yenor and Marion to stretch the lead to 21 (51-30.) After a Long 3-pointer the game would all but be decided as the Tars had a commanding 59-30 lead with 14:34 on the clock.
