Biñan cruised to its eighth straight win and climbed to 19-8, sharing third and fourth places with Batangas and moving beyond reach of Paranaque (16-10) in the round-robin elimination phase of the 29-team tournament.

Playoffs-bound Caloocan trounced Bulacan, 91-71, in the opener to climb to 16-9 and secure a spot in the North Division playoffs while Iloilo stunned Bataan, 104-100, in overtime in the second game between also-ran teams.

Powered by Pierce Tyron Chan, Pamboy Raymundo, Joseph Penaredondo and Jaymar Gimpayan, Binan led by as far as 71-31 late in the third quarter before easing up on also-ran Marikina, which slumped to 7-18 following its fourth straight defeat.

Raymundo posted 13 points, including three triples, and 5 assists to clinch the Daily Fantasy best player honors over Chan, who tallied 14 points, spiked by four triples, and 5 rebounds. Penaredondo contributed 11 points while Gimpayan wound up with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.

Hardly missing Marc Pingris, Binan ruled the boards, 51-40, and buried Marikina with 48 points inside the paint to gain the homecourt advantage in the three-game playoffs like division leaders Quezon Province and Zamboanga, both with 20-6 slates.

Led by Chan and Raymundo, Binan drilled in 12 triples while Marikina could only convert five.

Led by Joshua Flores with 14 points and 6 rebounds and Reil Cervantes with 10 points and 3 rebounds, the Batang Kankaloo improved to 16-9, with the Abra Weavers (15-10), Rizal Golden Coolers (14-12), Quezon City Capitals (13-13) and Valenzuela Classics (13-13) disputing the last two playoff seats in the division being lorded over by overall leaders San Juan (25-1), Pampanga (26-2) and Nueva Ecija (22-3). Manila (18-8) and Pasay (17-10) have also qualified for the three-game quarterfinal round.
