Down 0-3, the Batang Pier found their footing in Game 4, pulling off a 108-103 win to stay alive.
With the big victory, Kadeem Jack believes the team has regained the confidence that made them the top seed after the eliminations.
"I think it just showed our guys that we can actually win. Losing by 25 each game, you don’t even think you got a chance. But coming out tonight and just being able to shake that rust off, Arvin [Tolentino] got going, Josh [Munzon] was in the flow of things, and we hit shots," said Jack.
