Rain or Shine unloaded 15 triples to built a huge 20-point lead, enough buffer to hold off NorthPort's late-game rally to register a 118-112 win in their PBA On Tour match on Wednesday at the Ynares Arena in Pasig.

　　Playing without coach Yeng Guiao and lead assistant Caloy Garcia, the Elasto Painters stuck to their game plan, which included solid ball movement and three-point shooting.

　　Leonard Santillan led ROS' scoring attack with 20 markers, built around 4-of-8 shooting from three-point zone.

　　Anton Asistio banged in five three-pointers en route to a 17-point output. Andrei Caracut also added 17 while Shaun Ildefonso and Gian Mamuyac chipped in 14 and 12 as Rain or Shine bounced back from a 15-point loss to Magnolia in Dumaguete City last Saturday.

　　The Elasto Painters booked their seventh win in nine starts and are on track to finish the preseason series second, just behind the Hotshots, who are assured of capturing the top honors for the On Tour.

　　Magnolia remained unbeaten thus far with its 9-0 card.

　　The Batang Pier fell to an even 5-5 record.

　　JM Calma led NorthPort with 22 points and 16 rebounds while Arvin Tolentino added 20 in a losing stand.
