Matapos ang tatlong komperensiyang paglahok sa Philippine Basketball League, pinatunayan ng Viva Mineral Water-FEU na tunay silang nabibilang sa liga at isa na sa mga pangunahing puwersa dito.

Leaning on a solid interior defense, the Paint Masters held the Viva-FEU Water Force to a PBL finals low output as they ran away with a 52-35 victory yesterday to level their best-of-five PBL Unity Cup series at one game apiece.

Cheered by a throng of supporters who packed the Pasig Sports Center, Welcoat gave Viva a dose of its own medicine — a suffocating defense that held the 2003 runner-up to a finals low 35-point output.
