After walloping NLEX by 28 points on Friday, GlobalPort coach Pido Jarencio gave credit to the collective effort of the players, coaches and management as the Batang Pier tied their franchise-best number of wins at five.
“It was a total team effort and I’m happy that I finally got five wins in the PBA,” said Jarencio.

But more than anything else, Jarencio’s eyes are set on a quarterfinal berth as another win could push them closer to the top eight, and possibly, a top four finish.
