MANILA, Philippines — University of Perpetual Help System Dalta and Wangs Basketball @27 Strikers-Letran notched crucial victories against separate counterparts in the 2023 PBA D-League Aspirants’ Cup yesterday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.

The Altas snapped a two-game skid with a coast-to-coast 93-72 win ignited by a 25-10 start against Centro Escolar U while the Knights eliminated AMA Online from playoff contention, 71-57.

Perpetual climbed to 3-2 while Letran improved to 2-2 to stay in the hunt for a Top-2 finish that comes with an outright semifinal berth.

Marinerong Pilipino-San Beda (4-1) and reigning champion EcoOil-La Salle (3-1) pace the race with only three playdates to go in the seven-team tournament.

Cyrus Nitura and Arthur Roque scored 17 points apiece while Carlo Ferreras (16) and captain Jielo Razon (13) threw in help for the Altas, who started 2-0 before losing two in a row.

“It’s a badly needed win for us. Kasi itong CEU, tapos Letran, ‘yung mga kapuwestuhan namin so far. Inayos lang namin ‘yung mistakes namin from our two losses at ito, we got the win against CEU,” said coach Myk Saguiguit.
