Jan-Jan Geroy fired 19 points for the Sprockets, even as Chippy Yacapin was totally off for the 95ers and was foul-troubled.

“We’re undermanned and humbly defeated. It’s not too late yet and too early to tell,” said Sprockets spokesperson Fred “Buboy” Dael.

Meanwhile, Wolves 07 made their presence felt as they trounced Pioneers 03, 65-48.

Ephraim “Atom” Dahilan sizzled for 13 points for the Wolves, while Joseph “Kamandagz” Dagohoy, Vinni Castanares and Jawo “Woja” Demecillo combined for 24 markers.

The Wolves started hot in the first quarter with a 23-6 run and were in command the whole game.

“Uhaw kaayo ang Wolves this year,” head of referees Danilo Jaminal observed.

The Wolves were last season’s runner-up after losing to the Kings 005ers by a narrow margin in the decisive game three final.

In other games, the Supremos 94ers defeated Nine 23ers, 70-65.

Health and nutrition trainer Paul Valencia took charge in the offensives for the Supremos with 23 points in the absence of their red-hot guard Jerome Pagute, while Centeno stepped up with 22 markers including six treys.

Pagute was currently in the United States of America and has no report of his return as of this moment.

“We are still getting a word from him,” said teammate Rocky Calingin.
