Biñan Tatak Gel Crush Imus Agimat in Record 131-76 MPBL Blowout

On May 22, 2026, the Philippines MPBL witnessed a historic beatdown as Biñan Tatak Gel obliterated the Imus Agimat with a staggering 131-76 victory at home. The 55-point margin is one of the largest in league history and underlined Biñan’s firepower while exposing major defensive holes in Imus's system.

Match Overview

From the opening tip, Biñan set a blistering pace that Imus simply could not handle. The Tatak Gel shot over 55% from the field and crashed the offensive glass relentlessly, piling up second-chance points. By halftime the lead had already ballooned to 30+ points, and the second half turned into a showcase of Biñan’s bench depth. Imus, meanwhile, struggled to find rhythm, committing 20 turnovers and allowing easy transition buckets.

Key Moments

• First quarter explosion: Biñan opened with a 38-18 run, hitting six three-pointers in the period. Guard Mark Dela Cruz scored 14 of his game-high 28 points in the first 10 minutes.
• Mid-game dominance: A 22-4 burst in the second quarter pushed the lead past 40 points. Imus called two timeouts but could not stop the onslaught.
• Bench party: With the game already decided, Biñan’s reserves played the entire fourth quarter and still outscored Imus’s starters 29-18.

Standout Performers

• Mark Dela Cruz (Biñan): 28 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. He was the engine of the offense, hitting 5-of-7 from deep.
• Jayson Santos (Biñan): A double-double machine – 18 points and 14 rebounds, including 6 offensive boards.
• Rico Mariano (Imus): The only bright spot for the Agimat, posting 22 points and 8 assists while shooting 50% from the floor.

What This Result Means

For Biñan Tatak Gel (now 15-4), this win solidifies their place near the top of the MPBL standings. They have won seven straight and look like serious title contenders. On the other side, Imus Agimat (5-14) remains mired in the bottom half of the table. Poor defensive rotations and a lack of interior presence were brutally exposed, and head coach Rodel Esguerra will need to find answers quickly before the playoff picture solidifies.

The 131 points scored by Biñan are the highest in the MPBL this season, breaking the previous record of 125 set by the Bacoor City Strikers just two weeks ago. Fans left the venue buzzing about a potential championship run.
