Phillips scores 17 to lead DLSU past FEU

Kevin Quiambao had a rare off game in De La Salle University's 58-53 win over Far Eastern University on Wednesday, scoring only eight points but grabbing 13 rebounds.

Quiambao attributed his poor performance to recent personal matters and physical fatigue, mentioning the impact of his family break and rest period.

Mike Phillips stepped up in Quiambao's absence, scoring 17 points including 11 in the decisive fourth quarter, securing a crucial victory for DLSU.

Phillips praised his teammates' resilience and highlighted the importance of seizing opportunities during challenging times.

Coach Topex Robinson noted that such experiences will help the team grow stronger heading into the playoffs, emphasizing the collective effort and system adherence.
