3BB Nakornnont slipped in the third set but showed no mercy in the fourth, taking a 13-5 lead en route to victory.

Bangkok Glass beat the Filipinas, 25-23, 11-25, 16-25, 9-25, before Idea Khonkaen took a 25-22, 25-20, 25-19 victory.
Cha Cruz, Maika Ortiz and Aby Maraño each had nine markers for the PSL All-Star against 3BB.
"'Yung receive pa rin ang naging problema natin. Saka 'yung kalaban natin, naging consistent sa service nila, kumbaga, mas madali silang nakaka-recover kapag nagkamali sila," said coach George Pascua.
Pimpichaya Kokram scored 22 points, Kutika Kaewpin added 14 and Sasipaporn Junthawisut chipped in 11 for 3BB Nakhonnont.
