Lassiter hurriedly eclipsed Jimmy Alapag’s eight-year record on the way to finishing 18 points that backstopped June Mar Fajardo’s team-highs of 24 points and 17 rebounds, and CJ Perez’s 22 points and Terrence Romeo’s 14. San Miguel’s stud of an import Jordan Adams chipped in 12 points, hardly needing to score with the locals shooting so well.

“My teammates. I definitely couldn’t do this without my teammates from the past and right now. They’ve helped me out so much,” Lassiter said. “I’m just truly honored and blessed to be in this position. Words cannot describe what I feel.

“At the start, it was all energy. That’s what the players said before (we took the floor). We wanted Marcio to get this off his back. He’s had six tonight. I’m very happy for him and I’m very blessed to be his coach,” said head coach Jorge Gallent.
