ANTIPOLO CITY\u00a0\u2014 Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters survived a second quarter storm from San Miguel Beermen and took a hard-fought 123-119 win in the main game of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup twin bill at the Ynares Center here on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Behind a stellar performance from Raymond Almazan in the extra period, the Elasto Painters kept the Beermen winless in the mid-season conference despite a 40-point second quarter blast.<\/p>\n

Following the said explosion, SMB opened a 63-49 lead over ROS at halftime, but Troy Gillenwater’s send-off just before the half turned to be costly for the defending champion.<\/p>\n

Raymond Almazan and Chris Tiu waxed hot in the third quarter as the E-Painters cut the lead down to six, 90-84, entering the fourth.<\/p>\n

Their rally continued in the payoff period and eventually took a 112-110 lead with 18 seconds remaining in regulation.<\/p>\n

However, Alex Cabagnot converted on a quick layup with 11.8 seconds left in regulation to knot things up at 112-all. Chris Ross actually had a chance to win it for the Beermen in regulation only that his three-point shot only hit the iron.<\/p>\n

Gabe Norwood drew first blood for ROS in the extra session with a three-pointer before Almazan made the team’s last eight points to hold off SMB, which already had Junemar Fajardo and Arwind Santos fouling out.<\/p>\n

Reggie Johnson made 27 points, 19 rebounds, four assists, and two blocks, while Almazan collected 25 points, 14 rebounds, one assist, and one block for the E-Painters, who reclaimed the top spot in the team standings at 4-1.<\/p>\n

Santos made 29 markers, nine boards, four dimes, one steal, and five rejections for the Beermen, who lost for the second straight time.<\/p>\n

Junemar Fajardo (26 points and 11 rebounds) and Chris Standhardinger (17 points and 15 rebounds) each tallied double-doubles as they had to exert extra effort inside with Gillenwater’s departure.<\/p>\n

Alex Cabagnot came close to a triple-double with 14 markers, 13 caroms, and nine dimes with two steals.<\/p>\n
