Paul Desiderio, who made a name for himself as one of University of the Philippines’ big-time performers, rediscovered his shooting form in leading MisOr to a tense 124-111 double overtime victory over RCP Shawarma Shack in the PSL President’s Cup recently at the Filoil-EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Desiderio went on to finish with 26 points, including four three-point baskets, to steer the Mustangs to their fourth win in seven games.
Also winning were Davao Occidental and Novaliches, which carved out contrasting victories.
Davao Occidental breezed past Bicol, 110-96, with Justin Sachez and Winston Ynot combining forces.
Sanchez and Ynot each led their team with 22 points apiece, allowing the Tigers to improve their win-loss record to 4-3.
Novaliches turned to Jhonnel Bauzon, who had a monster performance of 26 points and 13 rebounds to power the Warriors to a 81-73 triumph over CV Siniloan.
