Dallas, TX – In the second game, the Eraserheads started the game on a suffocating 14-0 run, and never looked back en route to a 55-37 wire-to-wire win over the reeling Dragonball Z. The Bruiser Brothers, Rommel Calaguas and Mike Beltran, bullied their way into the pain, while the speedy backcourt of Neil Bagalso and Kenz Jacob added to the Eheads balanced attack, to send the Dragons to the bottom of the team standings.

The Dragons were able to cut the deficit to seven, 28-21, on a triple by Richmund Echaore but were unable to get any closer as the Eheads pulled away with Rommel crashing the boards and piling in the points to the tune of a 16-10 double double effot.

Double-double machine, Tristan Moreno, left the game for good at the half for personal reasons, but still led the Dragonball Z with 10 points to go with his 4 boards and 1 block.
