La Salle vs Adamson UAAP Season 86 men's basketball recap
A monstrous 23-0 third quarter storm led by Kevin Quiambao, who had 17 points (15 in the third) and 10 rebounds, powered the Archers to a 3-1 standing.
The Falcons, meanwhile, fall to 2-2 at the halfway mark of the opening round.
“It was really a challenging game for us. We knew that Adamson would come into this game with a lot of confidence after their last game,” La Salle tactician Topex Robinson said.
“We just had to make sure that we’re gonna come out strong knowing how important and how big this game would be for us,” he added.
From the Archers’ 23 unanswered markers to them outscoring the Falcons by 29-11, the third frame defined the story of what was once a tight-knit battle in the first half.
Moreover, the 48-point output of La Salle’s second stringers proved decisive upon pinning down Adamson’s bench to just 28.
