Games Thursday (Ynares Sports Arena, Pasig) 12 p.m. - Petron-Letran vs UST 2 p.m. - SMDC-NU vs Metropac-San Beda 4 p.m. - Chadao-FEU vs Perpetual Cignal-Ateneo recovered from its poor start to stun St. Clare College Virtual Reality, 88-66, Tuesday in the 2019 PBA D-League at JCSGO Gym in Cubao. Ange Kouame starred for the Blue Eagles, scoring 24 points and grabbing an eye-popping 29 rebounds, 15 of which coming on the offensive front, while also rejecting five shots as he woke up from his slumber and got down to work in the second half. The Ivorian sparked Cignal-Ateneo's fightback from a 46-28 deficit as he scored 11 in the telling 31-7 blast to grab a 59-53 edge with 2:02 left in the period.

"(Our halftime talk was) direct to the point, that we weren't doing what we said we'll do before the game," said coach Tab Baldwin. "We didn't really make any adjustments and we just went back to basics, play like they wanted to win the game and played like any good team." Isaac Go punctured 11 points built on three long bombs, Thirdy Ravena added 10 points, five rebounds, and two steals, and Adrian Wong had 10 in the win. In the other game, Valencia City Bukidnon-SSCR ripped Wangs Basketball, 96-64, to force a second place tie with Metropac-San Beda with identical 4-1 cards.
