King Gurtiza hit the clutch basket that set the stage for overtime, where he hit another big three-pointer to go with another trey by Nat Consejo that had the Generals on their way to a third win in five games.
Ralph Robin and JP Maguilano added a basket and a free throw to drive the final nail in the coffin for the Pirates, who had won their first seven games of the season.
Gurtiza led the Generals with 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Consejo backed him up with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
