Two teams adjusting to major changes found a lot of success Sunday night, with NLEx streaking to a fourth straight win to solidify its hold of the Group A lead in the PBA Governors’ Cup and Rain or Shine slowly rising out of a flat start to jump out of the bottom of Group B.

“Losing Mamu created a kind of a different air in the gym. He was a loud and hopeful leader for us, Tiongson said after finishing with 21 points built around five triples in his team’s 110-99 victory over Barangay Ginebra late Sunday evening at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
