ARQ-Cebu, behind the hulking duo of Frederick Elombi and Landry Sanjo, was off to a hot start until Ralph Tansingco and Dennis Santos were able to find their range to eventually knot the game at 16-all
Yee, a former pro, took charge after by matching Sanjo’s physicality on the defensive end while knocking down big buckets.
