While Braganza had a good game with 13 points still in the third quarter, the game was stopped and he had to leave due to his father collapsing while watching the game live.
The UP Fighting Maroons had problems specially in the defensive end where Jai Reyes led Ateneo with his hot shooting from the 3 point range, converting 6 of 9 from downtown. Martin Reyes led UP with 21 points, both Mark Lopez and Mikee Reyes had a bad game scoring only 3 and 0 respectively.
