NLEX coach Yeng Guiao felt they were lucky to have played GlobalPort without their injured star Terrence Romeo.
"Nabanggit ko before the game na swerte kami, it's a big break for us that Terrence is not playing, just Stanley Pringle... We're just taking advantage of the break at the same time... giving the other guys, the rookies, the opportunity to build that confidence," he said during the post-game interview.
He also gave props to Ravena for another productive outing.
"Kiefer will take care of himself, he knows how to play in this league as young as himself and as a rookie," said the Road Warriors coach.
