JD Cagulangan set the table in Suwon KT Sonicboom's 75-71 Game Two victory over Daegu KOGAS Pegasus on Monday in the Korean Basketball League (KBL) playoffs at Suwon KT Arena.
The UAAP Finals MVP dished out six assists and got five steals to go with his seven points and four rebounds to level the best-of-five quarterfinals series to 1-1.
Cagulangan, the newly minted KBL Rookie of the Year, hit the go-ahead jumper with 1:54 to go before assisting Heo Hoon's dagger bucket to extend the lead to four with 1:29 to play.
That spoiled SJ Belangel's 18-point night where he shot 4-of-8 from deep, to go with three assists, three steals, and two boards in the loss.
Different result for different Fighting Maroon
In the other bracket, Javi Gomez de Liaño only had four points in Anyang Jung Kwan Jang's 90-72 Game Two defeat to Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus at Dongcheon Gymnasium on Tuesday.
The former University of the Philippines gunner missed both of his three-point attempts but got two rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes of play.
Anyang, though, still could not solve Ulsan's frontcourt tandem of Gaige Prim and Shawn Long as the Mobis Phoebus move a win away from setting up a semis date against Carl Tamayo's Changwon LG Sakers.
