All fielded players from head coach Yeng Guiao's squad drilled at least one from beyond the arc to make 15 triples en route to the victory. Rain or Shine caught fire early on as it made 37 points against the Hotshots' 21 in the opening frame. Magnolia, however, recovered to trim the lead, 62-52, by halftime. The Elasto Painters then pulled away in the third period before notching their biggest lead, 94-71, thanks to Mike Malonzo's layup which opened the final canto. It was all Rain or Shine then as they took control of the game until the final buzzer. While Adrian Nocum had 20 points and seven assists for Rain or Shine, it was Santi Santillan who led from both ends of the floor with 17 points, 13 boards, three blocks, and an assist as the Elasto Painters improved to 4-2.
