Led by Solomon Mercado with 45 points, Rain or Shine almost made a big comeback after being down most of the game, only to lose by two points to the B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados, 86-84 Derby Ace had the chance to seal the game from the free throw line, but Rookie Rico Maierhofer missed two free throws and gave ROS a chance to steal the game but Gabe Norwood misses a long three and Derby Ace notched its tenth win to close the gap with league leading Talk N Text and San Miguel.

Derby Ace Import Clif Brown had another monster game with 23 rebounds (15 offensive) and 18 points, but was only 8 out of 20 from the field. The duo of James Yap (20points) and Paul Artadi (15 points and 7 assists), both from UE helped Derby Ace take control of the game for the 1st three quarters, both making 4 three point shots to keep Rain or Shine at bay.

Rain or Shine made a run in the final six minutes of the game behind Mercado who was 7 out of 10 from 3-point range (22 in the 4th quarter), but no other ROS player scored in double digits. The awful free throw shooting of Derby Ace as a team also helped Rain or Shine inch closer, missing 10 free throws in the game. including the last 2 by Maierhofer.

Known for his offense, James Yap made a crucial defensive play at the end of the 4th quarter, guarding Sol Mercado and forcing him to miss a three.
