Alaska made sparked some hope after Abueva completed a three-point play off a broken play to end the third period and Chris Banchero opened the fourth with his own and-one. The Aces managed to come to within 12 points, 84-72, on the free throw.
But that was before Rain or Shine unleashed a barrage of three-pointers with Maverick Ahanmisi, Chris Tiu and Cruz all bombing Alaska from the outside, turning it into a 20-point game yet again, 95-75, with nine minutes remaining.
The Aces refused to stop fighting, coming back to within 13, but some timely baskets from Beau Belga and Lee all but sealed it.
Almazan capped it with a huge dunk in the final minute.
