Chito Victolero once again sparked the Knights to the come-from-behind victory with his superb orchestration of plays that broke the backs of the Slashers down the stretch and cut short the best-of-five series, 3-1.

The Knights trailed by as many as 13 points in the second half, but patiently worked their way up in the third quarter behind the efforts of Gilbert Castillo and Chris Calaguio, 75-73.

The 6-foot-8 Reavis first made all three charities off a foul committed with the Blitz Three period, then made the front of two more free throws that enabled the Knights to brush aside the Knights’ Game Three challenge and take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
