    This as the Peace Riders rallied past KCS-Mandaue, 96-91, to take a 2-0 advantage in the Southern Finals here at the Pagadian City Gymnasium.

    Basilan looks to complete its domination in Game Three, Friday at 6 p.m.

    Chris Bitoon's layup in the waning seconds of the third period capped a 14-5 Basilan blast to enter the fourth with a 10-point lead, 75-65.
