Migs Oczon (Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus)

The former College of St. Benilde star finished with four points, two rebounds, and an assist in eight minutes of play for the Phoebus.

Oczon also outshone his fellow Filipino import SJ Belangel who ended up scoreless for the Pegasus side.

The 23-year-old cager entered in the second quarter, making an immediate impact by scoring on a layup before drilling in two free throws in the fourth frame which broke the deadlock, 73-71.

Gaige Prim, who topscored with 26 points that went with eight rebounds, delivered the lethal blows in the waning minutes for Ulsan. 

Ulsan improved its record to 13-14 at sixth place, while Daegu further slid to a 7-20 card.

Oczon and Co. will have a five-day break and are set to face Dave Ildefonso and the Suwon KT Sonicboom on Saturday, Jan. 6.
