San Juan Knights Outlast Meycauayan in MPBL Thriller

The San Juan Knights secured a hard-fought 88-78 victory over Meycauayan on 14 July 2026 in a Philippines MPBL contest that showcased resilience and clutch shooting. The final scoreline at the Meycauayan Sports Complex reflected a game that swung in momentum several times before the Knights pulled away in the fourth quarter.

From the opening tip, Meycauayan came out aggressive, using home-court energy to build an early lead. However, San Juan’s disciplined half-court offense and timely three-pointers kept them within striking distance. The turning point came late in the third period when the Knights went on a 12-2 run, turning a five-point deficit into a lead they never relinquished.

• Key performer: San Juan’s guard combination combined for 45 points, with the starting backcourt hitting six triples.
• Meycauayan’s effort: Despite the loss, they controlled the defensive glass and forced 14 turnovers, but cold shooting from the free-throw line (58%) proved costly.
• Game impact: The win lifts San Juan into the upper half of the league standings, while Meycauayan will need to regroup quickly.

San Juan’s ability to execute in crunch time was the difference. Their defensive adjustments in the final quarter limited Meycauayan to just 15 points, sealing the 10-point victory. The Knights now look ahead to a crucial matchup against another playoff contender.
