The Cardinals asserted their might in the fourth period where they outscored the Stags, 29-16, to finish the season with seven wins against 11 losses.

Locked at 62-all with 2:59 to go, Adrian Nocum’s three-point play off a foul from Itchie Altamirano also spelled the difference for Mapua as it protected the lead from then on.

The Cardinals also silenced the Stags in the last 1:33 of the game with Paolo Hernandez draining a triple in the final 5.1 ticks that put the icing on the cake.

Hernandez paced Mapua by pumping in 22 points, grabbing eight rebounds and dishing off five assists, while Nocum chipped in 17 points and four boards.

Jasper Salenga also contributed with 14 points, four rebounds and three steals.

Mapua’s triumph overshadowed the efforts of Altamirano for San Sebastian after firing a career-high 24 points on top of four boards, three assists and two steals.

Romel Calahat also had a double-double performance of 13 points and 15 rebounds that went for naught as the Stags finished the season with an 8-10 mark.

It took some time for Mapua to gain its bearings after shooting only six points in the opening quarter and trailing San Sebastian at the half, 32-29.

They showed some signs of life in the third period but still trailed 51-46, before finally waking up from the slumber and gaining the victory.

The Scores:

MAPUA 75 – Hernandez 22, Nocum 17, Salenga 14, Bonifacio 7, Agustin 5, Cuenco 3, Igliane 3, Pido 2, Soriano 2, Garcia 0, Mercado 0, Gamboa 0, Lacap 0.

SAN SEBASTIAN 67 – Altamirano 24, Calahat 13, Are 9, Una 8, Aguilar 4, Villapando 2, Sumoda 2, Escobido 2, Suico 2, Paglinawan 0, Concha 0, Cosari 0.

Quarters: 6-19, 29-32, 46-51, 75-67.
