Coming off a loss to archrival Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) seven days ago, the Green Archers put on an offensive showcase as their 112 points were the most scored by a UAAP team since La Salle’s 115-109 win over National University back on September 16, 2017.

Winston led La Salle on a very efficient 14-of-19 clip from the field in just three-quarters of action to go with four rebounds and two steals as the Green Archers remained at third place with their 6-3 card.

The Green Archers fired on all cylinders quickly as they built a 21-point cushion, 32-11, with under two minutes to play in the opening period.

UST responded after trimming down the lead to just 10, 46-36, at one point in the second quarter, but DLSU shifted on high gear again to stretch the lead to 25 at the end of the third frame, 86-61, and never looked back. 

Justine Baltazar added 17 points, seven boards, seven assists, two steals, and one block, while Evan Nelle went on a perfect 4-of-4 clip from beyond the arc to tally 16 points, six dimes, two rebounds, and two steals.

Michael Phillips finished with 15 points, nine boards, and two steals, while Kurt Lojera chipped in 10 points and six rebounds in a game where the Green Archers shot 58.3-percent from the field and 9-of-23 from deep for a solid 39-percent clip.

On the other side of the court, Paul Manalang paced UST with 14 points, three rebounds, and three assists while Bryan Santos contributed 13 points and seven rebounds in his first game back from a one-game suspension.

The Growling Tigers fell to 3-6 in the standings.
