Anyang erased an early 13-point deficit, but the defending champion Knights showed poise in reclaiming the lead in the fourth quarter to hack out the victory in a low-scoring battle.
The Knights broke a 2-2 tie in the best-of-seven series to move on the verge of defending their title.
Abando struggled on offense with only four points on 2-of-12 shooting, but still played over 37 minutes as a starter after leaving an imprint on the defensive end with 10 rebounds and six blocks.
Anyang tries to stay alive back home in Game Six on Friday.
