MANILA — Zamboanga strengthened its bid to seal a Top 4 finish in the Southern Division of the MPBL Lakan Season after drubbing Imus, 88-72, at the Winsports Arena in Calgary, Canada on Saturday (Philippine Time).

Zamboanga stifled Imus in the second quarter, holding its opponent to just 13 points to break away for good.

Aaron Black added 13 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while Jun-Jun Bonsubre went perfect 3-for-3 from the field and finished with seven markers alongside nine boards, two dimes, and two blocks.

Gerald Anderson put up 14 markers, three caroms, five dimes, and two steals for also-ran Imus, which slipped further to 6-20.
