Jimboy Estrada led the Knights with a torrid 11-of-13 shooting performance, scoring 25 points and contributing four rebounds and two steals, maintaining a double-digit lead throughout most of the game.

Estrada received support from Titing Manalili's 15 points, seven assists, and two steals, while Jun Roque added 11 points in the crucial match against San Beda.
