Clare Castro imposed his towering presence inside the paint and finished with 13 points and seven rebounds, while Afril Bernardino added 10 points.

With a 32-11 barrage in the penultimate period, the Perlas Pilipinas turned a relatively tight contest into a clinic. Merenciana Arayi wrapped up the quarter with a corner triple, 68-40.

As if the beating wasn’t enough, the Filipino cagers continued to fire at will and dropped another 32-point bomb in the deciding quarter.

Cindy Resultay put the icing on the cake with a split from the line.

Meanwhile, Vietnam absorbed its second straight loss.

Ngoan Huynh paced the team with 15 points and five boards.
