PAGADIAN, Zamboanga del Sur — Coming off a 23-point meltdown against Roxas, Globalport-MisOr vented its ire on Zamboanga Sibugay, 72-61, in the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup Mindanao Challenge at the Pagadian City Gymnasium here Wednesday.

The Valientes started the game blazing, racing to a 27-15 first quarter before adding more in the second to enter the break ahead by 20, 46-26.

But in the third period, the Anak Mindanao Warriors slowly chipped in, getting their deficit down to just 14 points entering the final frame, 45-59.

However, MisOr has already learned its lesson as nine would be the closest Zamboanga Sibugay could get in the fourth as the Valientes steadied down the stretch.

“We messed up the last two games, nagwawala sa dulo kaya I was controlling them earlier. Tinanggal ko muna ‘yung privilege to run,” said MisOr head coach Vis Valencia.

Mac Baracael came through for the Valientes with 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting while Andoy Estrella added 12 points, six rebounds, and five assists.

Nicole Ubalde was a spark off the bench with 12 points, five rebounds, and a steal, while Reil Cervantes and Ralph Salcedo had nine and eight points, respectively.

Earlier, host team Pagadian snapped a three-game losing skid with a come-from- behind, 99-82 win over Roxas.
