The Port Masters leaned on the red-hot shooting of Jonathan Fernandez, who finished with 23 points as he fueled Harbour's two decisive breakaways - the last one in the final six minutes where he clustered two straight triples that finally took the fight out of the Teeth Masters, 69-51. Chico Lanete, the hero in Games 1 and 3, provided the needed firepower while Al Vergara created the plays for the team. [1]
