​While the lead slowly crept up in the 2nd Period, it was in the 3rd Quarter where the Jaguars went away, thanks to a lay-up by Kendrick Abarquez, which pushed them 53-36, and gave the Jaguars a comfortable 17-point lead from that point forward.
​Kevin Guibao led the pack of Jaguars with 17 points, while Diether Go and David Basilad added 13 and 12, respectively. Together, the trio combined for 42 of the 82 total points scored by the Jaguars.
