    SAN Beda continued its unblemished run in the 2019 Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup by crushing San Sebastian, 71-59, for its sixth straight win on Monday.

    James Canlas fired 19 points, five rebounds, two assists, and two steals as he helped the Red Lions put up a 19-point lead that served as buffer when RK Ilagan's eruption enabled the Stags to cut the lead down to one, 55-54 with 6:22 left.

    Canlas was aso there to save the day, drilling back-to-back treys that triggered the 16-3 tear to lock up the victory and the No. 1 seed in Group A for San Beda.

    Clint Doliguez added 16 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two blocks, while Calvin Oftana got himself 11 points, five boards. Donald Tankoua grabbed 11 rebounds to go with his nine points, as Evan Nelle had 10 assists to add to his eight points.

    "I really commend my starters for the way they started out the game," said coach Boyet Fernandez. "They nearly came back, but in the fourth quarter, the players really stepped up their defense. I'm happy we got this one."

    San Sebastian missed the services of Allyn Bulanadi, who was nursing a dislocated right shoulder, as well as Ramil Tero, who suffered a cut on the nose after being hit by the elbow of a driving Doliguez at the 2:36 mark of the second quarter.

    Alvin Capobres topscored for the Golden Stags with 16 points and six assists, as Ilagan had 12 points and four boards.

    San Sebastian stayed in second place despite dropping to a 4-2 card.

    The scores:

    SAN BEDA 71 - Canlas 19, Doliguez 16, Oftana 11, Tankoua 9, Nelle 8, Cuntapay 3, Obenza 3, Etrata 1, Abuda 1, Bahio 0, Penuela 0, Alfaro 0, Visser 0, Fornis 0.

    SAN SEBASTIAN 59 - Capobres 16, Ilagan 12, Calma 10, Dela Cruz 10, Calahat 6, Villapando 3, Sumoda 2, Isidro 0, Desoyo 0, Loristo 0, Suico 0, Tero 0, Are 0, Altamirano 0.

    Quarters: 24-16, 41-24, 49-43, 71-59.
