The Lions, who won the Season 5 Sinulog Cup last month, dropped to 1-1 (win-loss) in the standings. They scored a 74-52 rout over the Rams in their opening game last Friday.

Mark Penerio carried the Panthers with a 20-point performance while the Lions were led by Josephus Rusiana, who scored 25 markers.

In the second game, Armando de Jesus drained 21 points to lift the Rams to 63-51 victory over the Stallions.

The Sharks, meanwhile, won their opening game against the Wolves, 67-61.

Arbey Baculi led the Sharks with 18 points.
