Zamboanga displayed its bench depth when it crushed Laguna Krah Asia, 81-44, to raise its record to 10-3 in this single-round robin eliminations of this 22-team tournament.

San Juan also had an easy time as it dominated Marikina, 81-67, to book its eight win in 14 matches.

Jaycee Marcelino and Manuel Mosqueda fired 12 points apiece while Ralph Tansingco added 10 for Zamboanga, which zoomed ahead, 81-44, before allowing Laguna to deliver the game’s final basket.

Meanwhile, Judel Fuentes, Orland Wamar and Joseph Celso delivered the firepower for San Juan, which pulled away, 71-56, early in the fourth period to seal the easy victory.
