ANTIPOLO CITY -- Caloocan-Victory Liner pumped life to its playoff hopes after thwarting Muntinlupa-Angelis Resort, 63-62, Monday in the 2019-20 Chooks-to-Go MPBL Lakan Season at the Ynares Center here.
Caloocan arrested its four-game slump and upped its win-loss record to 15-13, just half-a-game behind eighth-running Pasay at 15-12.
"Sobrang importante ng panalong ito kasi kung natalo kami mahihirapan na kami kasi San Juan sunod naming kalaban. We will work hard to reach the playoffs," Supremos head coach John Kallos on their post-season chances.
Trailing 53-62 in the fourth period, the Supremos launched a 10-0 game-ending run, eight coming from struggling Paul Sanga on two treys and two freebies, to take the much-needed win. Cedrick Labing-isa's free throws with 2:04 left capped the surge and gave Caloocan the lead for good.
