Iloilo got 24 points from Joshua Flores, who went scoreless in the fourth quarter, 12 points, 10 assists plus two steals from Navarro, and 14 points plus four rebounds from JR Ongteco.Powered by homegrown Junjie Hallare's 21-point, seven-rebound, three-assist, two-steal output and Poypoy Actub's 16-point, five-rebound, two-steal effort, Imus rose to 15-12 and handed Bicol a league-worst 1-27 final slate.
The 5-foot-6 Costelo, a former San Sebastian Stag, was ably backed up by Rey Peralta with 15 points, all in the second quarter, Tyrone Chan with 14 points, and his backcourt partner Robbie Manalang with 14 points, seven assists and two steals.
