The Barako Bull Energy lost their energy as they were defeated by the Rain or Shine (ROS) Elastopainters , 93-81, for the 2nd game of the PBA season 37 today at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasig City.

The Elasto Painters' rookie player, Paul Lee, scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists across his name that honored him the best player of the game.

Barako Bull was on their energy during the 1st quarter as they made a 9-2 run, but the E-painters found their range in the paint and thus they were able to posses the lead and the end of the first quarter, 17-14.

Barako Bull showered fouls on ROS which resulted to an early penalty situation for them. ROS did not waste the opportunity to stretch their lead to two-digits in the 2nd half.

Arboleda and Miller tried to get their energy as they fired 3 pointers and 2 pointers on the field during the 2nd half and almost trimmed their 2-digit deficit to 6, but ROS was successful in throwing unexpected 3 pointers that returned their lead to 12. The Barakos then succumbed to defeat.
