    ADAMSON scored back-to-back wins in the 2019 Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup, edging Letran, 89-85, on Saturday in San Juan.

    Jerrick Ahanmisi fired 17 points on a 3-of-8 clip from downtown, on top of four rebounds and four assists to lead the Soaring Falcons to their third win in four games.

    Jerom Lastimosa chipped in 15 points, as Congolese big man Lenda Douanga had 12 points and nine boards.

    Letran got to within four in the fourth period after a Larry Muyang lay-up, but the San Marcelino-based squad fired back with a 9-2 salvo to erect a 79-68 lead after a Lastimosa and-one with 5:30 remaining.

    The Knights refused to quit as Allen Mina's trey sliced the lead down to four, 89-85, in the last 15 seconds, but Mina and Jerrick Balanza muffed their triples as time expired.

    "This tournament will help us gauge our team, finetune our team, and make sure we correct the bad habits," said coach Franz Pumaren.

    Balanza topped Letran (4-2) with 20 points, as King caralipio had 11 points, three rebounds, and two assists.

    The scores:

    Adamson 89 - Ahanmisi 17, Lastimosa 15, Douanga 12, Camacho 11, Sabandal 10, Fermin 8, Manlapaz 6, Magbuhos 5, Doria 3, Capulong 2, Bernardo 0, Yerro 0.

    Letran 85 - Balanza 20, Caralipio 11, Muyang 9, Mina 9, Ular 8, Yu 7, Ambohot 6, Olivario 5, Pambid 5, Balagasay 4, Sangalang 1, Reyson 0, Guarino 0.

    Quarterscores: 18-14; 41-33; 70-64; 89-85.
