The Muntinlupa Cagers earned their second win of the MPBL season, defeating the Valenzuela Classic by an identical 72-63 scoreline on April 28, 2025. Demonstrating remarkable consistency, the Cagers replicated their opening night margin of victory to move above .500 in the standings. The game followed a similar script to their first win, with Muntinlupa using a strong defensive effort to control the tempo and limit Valenzuela's scoring opportunities. The Classic kept the game within reach but could never string together enough baskets to seriously threaten the Cagers' lead. This victory solidified Muntinlupa's reputation as a defensively stout team and continued their positive start to the campaign. Valenzuela, meanwhile, searched for answers after failing to crack the Cagers' defensive code. The Muntinlupa coach would have emphasized the importance of maintaining their defensive identity.
