Blackwater tried to keep in pace in the first quarter thanks to an import-like performance from Art Dela Cruz, who scored eight of his team’s first 10 points en route to 12 markers in the opening period.
But the lack of their full arsenal began to tell on the Elite in the second as Alaska blew the game wide open.
The three-point shooting of Racal, who hit three triples, paired with the all-around brilliance of Henton allowed the Aces to outscore their opponents, 29-13, to take a whopping 18-point lead, 54-36, to the halftime break.
