MANILA, Philippines — Sarangani, riding the record 50-point outburst of Jeff Viernes, stunned Nueva Ecija in double overtime, 134-123, while San Juan and GenSan trounced their respective foes on Saturday in the OKBet-MPBL Fifth Season at the Quezon Convention Center in Lucena City.
Viernes broke John Wilson’s 44-point individual scoring league record set in 2019 as they handed defending champion Nueva Ecija its first loss after piling 11 wins in the single round-robin elimination phase.
