The Rain or Shine E-Painters painted their 9th win of the conference as they thrashed the Alaska Aces, 91-85, for the 1st game of the last elimination round of PBA Season 37 yesterday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Alaska Aces managed to give the E-painters a tough match as the Aces were able to tie the scores almost 7 times until the 3rd quarter.

Cyrus Baguio and Ervin Sotto anchored the Aces' run in the 1st half which made the E-painters struggle to defend the Aces.

But suddenly, the Paul Lee less E-painters blasted in the 4th quarter and blew their score ahead the Aces leading to their biggest lead which stood at 10 points.

Their lead was sustained by Uyloan as he jacked up back-to-back 3 pointers.
