Reinforced by towering centers, Joe Tudela and Eric Plinske, Easy Does It put up a stonewall defense to curb Shakir’s Realty’s score to 12 points in the first quarter.
The Realtors who completed five wins in a row struggled this time with the absence of top scorers, Art Trajano and Francis Rebuyon obviously crippling them the entire game.
Edgar Pangelinan scored 16 of his 33 points in the first quarter including a pair of three-pointer while Oscar Sablan and Marlon Sison combined 10 points to pound the Realtors in this period.
Eric Plinske and Emir Abuan both streaked in the second quarter firing three two-pointers successively to pull Easy Does It away.
Easy Does It took it a bit easy in the third quarter but this did not hold them back that much as the Realtors’ shooting continued to slump, with only Bernie Ebuen connecting six two-pointers and a three-point shot.
Shakir’s Realty was still down by 20 points at the end of the third quarter. Bearing in mind they are dealing with one of Masters’ power house teams Easy Does It did not want to ease just yet.
Pangelinan and Sison surged to 11 points apiece in the fourth quarter Sablan added five, Plinske and Abuan combined eight points and Easy Does It showed no mercy to post their sixth win, 110-57.

George Poquiz scored 18 for the 9ers.
