(UPDATED) Arvin Tolentino exploded for 31 points to lift NorthPort to a 91-85 win over a hapless Terrafirma in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup on Saturday at the Ynares Center-Antipolo.

It was a career-high outing for Tolentino, who lit up the Dyip with 5 triples to go with his 12 rebounds and 3 steals.

Robert Bolick flirted with a triple-double of 12 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds, while Will Navarro and Prince Ibeh added 12 and 7 points, respectively.

The Batang Pier fought from 15 points down with a huge fight back in the fourth quarter to take a 74-73 lead.

The Dyip retaliated to reclaim a 80-74 lead, but NorthPort halted the surge with a run of their own to tie the count 81-all.

From that point Tolentino, William Navarro, and Jerrick Balanza conspired to close out Terrafirma.

Lester Prosper had a double-double of 23 points and 18 rebounds for Terrafirma.

It was the Batang Pier's second straight win, fifth overall in 10 games.

They effectively eliminated Terrafirma, who have yet to win a game in 25 matches.
