La Salle took charge with a series of runs in the first half and never looked abck as it rolled past University of the East, 87-63, to improve to a 3-2 (win loss).
La Salle mentor Dindo Pumaren credited their perimeter defense as the key to their victory.
“I just told the boys to extend our defense outside because we know UE could hit there,” said Pumaren. – Joey Villar
