Caspe, a former Mindoro homegrown, poured 15 of his game-high 19 points in that span to eclipse the Tamaraws' 14-point total and lift Imus to victory after trailing throughout the first three quarters and by as far as 38-52.

In addition, Caspe posted 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 assists to earn best player honors over teammates Mark Anthony Doligon, who notched 20 points, 12 rebounds and 2 steals, and Regie Boy Basibas, who finished with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Jaypee Belencion contributed 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, while Jayvee Dela Cruz chipped in 9 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds for Imus, which took control, 67-64, after a triple by Belencion and 7 straight points by Caspe.

The Tamaraws tied the count at 71 following a triple by Joseph Sedurifa, but Caspe sparked a 7-point run to give Imus back the lead.

Mindoro got 14 points each from Ken Bono and Wendelino Comboy and 9 from Jun Manzo and Bambam Gamalinda.

Powered by Manzo and Comboy, who contributed 9 points each, the Tamaraws erected a 41-32 halftime lead despite the 11-point effort of Doligon.

The MPBL visits the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig on Tuesday with games pitting Manila Batang Quiapo against Marikina at 4 p.m, Bulacan against Quezon TODA Aksyon at 6 p.m., and Rizal Xentromall against Basilan Viva at 8 p.m.
