BALANGA, BATAAN – Bataan and Cebu have been winning their runs late Saturday night at the resumption of the MPBL Datu Cup to boost their chances for a berth playoff.
Bataan Risers outplayed the Pasay Voyagers, 77-60, as Rob Celiz led the way with 16 points.
The ex-pro, who had a brief stint playing for the Blackwater Elite in the PBA and Alab Pilipinas in the ABL, also grabbed eight rebounds and five assists at the Risers picked up their fifth win at home.
By stretching his winning streak to 11, Bataan kept his head of the lead, Jojo Lastimosa did not want to see his team lowering its guard.
"We want to see how far we can go," added Lastimosa. "Either as a player or a coach, you do not want to feel contented on what you've achieved, because we have not achieved anything yet."
Lastimosa and his troops have yet to reach the elimination stage where teams are required to play 25 games each. But the 11-1 win-loss record is the best in the league, and is the 11-game win streak.
Like Bataan, Cebu also kept rolling by the Pasig Pirates, 56-53, for its fourth straight win and fifth against eight losses.
Pasig, owner of the tournament's worst record, absorbed its 10th loss in 12 games.
