MANILA — CEU leaned on a second quarter barrage to smother AMA, 118-83, in the main game of the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup twinbill on Thursday at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

The Scorpions outscored the Titans, 42-17, in the second half to turn an exciting battle into a blowout.

Robbie Manalang had 23 markers for AMA, which slipped to 1-6.
