Basilan Viva Portmasters 106 – 93 Marikina Shoemasters
MPBL Regular Season | July 7, 2026
The Basilan Viva Portmasters exploded for a season-high 106 points to overpower the visiting Marikina Shoemasters, 106–93, in a thrilling MPBL showdown. The victory improved Basilan’s standing in the tough Southern Division and showcased the team’s balanced offence and relentless transition game.
Match Overview
From the opening tip, Basilan set a blistering pace, capitalising on fast-break opportunities and knocking down outside shots. The Portmasters led 28–22 after the first period and extended their advantage to 15 points by halftime (58–43). Marikina battled back in the third quarter, trimming the deficit to single digits, but Basilan’s deep rotation and disciplined defence in the final frame sealed the win.
Key Performers
- Basilan Viva Portmasters: Veteran guard Jayson Grimaldo paced the team with 28 points and 7 assists, while forward Mark Solis added a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds. Bench production was crucial, with Rico Dimaano chipping in 16 points off the pine.
- Marikina Shoemasters: Import Chris Wilson led all scorers with 31 points, and local standout Paolo Villanueva contributed 19 points and 8 boards. However, Marikina’s defence struggled to contain Basilan’s transition game, allowing 28 fast-break points.
Turning Point
Early in the third quarter, Marikina cut the lead to seven points (67–60) and seemed poised to take control. But Basilan responded with a 14–2 run, sparked by back-to-back three-pointers from Grimaldo and a thunderous dunk from Solis that energised the home crowd. That stretch restored the Portmasters’ double-digit cushion and deflated Marikina’s comeback hopes.
