It was also a redemption game for Tamayo, who was held to just seven points in the LG Sakers’ 78-70 defeat to Seoul SK Knights last Monday.
The win kept Changwon at third place in the standings with its 21-14 record.
Meanwhile, fellow former University of the Philippines alumnus JD Cagulangan found himself on the losing end as Suwon KT Sonicboom bowed to the Knights, 80-75, at Jamsil Student Gymnasium.
Despite the loss, the Butuan native gave a good account of himself with 11 points, five assists, three boards, and three steals in the losing effort.
The loss also snapped Suwon’s four-game win streak to remain at fourth place with its 20-15 slate.
