The game, which lacked the usual excitement, was overshadowed by recent league controversies, including a hefty fine and suspension handed to Meralco's Cliff Hodge for an altercation with Zavier Lucero. Despite the off-court drama, the FiberXers bounced back from a previous loss to Barangay Ginebra, improving their record to 5-3.
