Tiu glad Gozum finally getting his groove: ‘I hope mag tuloy-tuloy’
The College of St. Benilde Blazers defeated the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers, 84-81, extending their winning streak to five games.
Reigning MVP Will Gozum was instrumental in the win, scoring a season-high 27 points, with 15 in the first quarter alone, and making a crucial defensive play by blocking Marwin Dionisio's potential game-tying triple.
Coach Charles Tiu praised Gozum's performance, comparing it to his MVP-winning season and noting that this was likely his best game of the current season.
Veterans Miggy Corteza and Migs Oczon also contributed significantly with 18 and 14 points, respectively.
Despite CSB building a double-digit lead, JRU, led by Joshua Guiab's 23 points, mounted a comeback before the Blazers responded with an 11-0 run.
The highly physical game also saw heated exchanges and ejections.
