That run cut their two-digit deficit to 3 points, 80-77. But Yeo crashed the hopes of the Aces as he successfully shot his 2 buckets, resulting to a two-possesion ball game. The Aces struggled to score as LA Tenorio missed his tear drop shot.
The Aces succumbed to defeat while Petron goes up to 4-3 in their win-loss record.
