After suffering a tough loss last Tuesday, the Letran Knights were able to bounce back as they annihilate the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers, 94-71, in the Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup powered by Chooks-to-Go at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan City.
JP Calvo led the Knights’ attack with 18 points and seven assists. Bong Quinto notched 17 markers while Jerrick Balanzaand Edison Batiller added 11 and 10 respectively for the Knights who booked their third win in the tournament.
