CEBU, Philippines - Daryle Tan churned out 21 points as the Cebu Landmasters swept Gaisano Capital in their best-of-three finals series with a lopsided 82-66 victory in Game 2 to claim the Division A title of the PLDT SME Nation-Alfredo Gothong 21st Sacred Heart Ateneo Alumni Basketball Athletic Association (SHAABAA) Cup last Wednesday night at the Magis Eagles Arena of the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu in Barangay Canduman, Mandaue City.
