The Paf cagers were subdued by the National Security Unit, 75-79, in the cagefest organized by the city government of Davao as part of the "Pahalipay ni Mayor sa Pasko" program.
In other games, the PCTC-National Support Unit entered the winning column by sinking the Philippine Navy, 102-88.
Former Montaņa Pawnshop mainstay Hercules Arellano sizzled with two perimeter baskets and made 11 more points to lead his team's searing rally in the final canto for the win.
Arellano totalled 24 points while teammates Roberto Jaca and Rommel Bactat canned 28 and 26 markers, respectively, to lift the rousing campaign and give the Navymen their second straight loss.
The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) nipped the 73rd Infantry Battalion, 96-93, while Davao City Police Office (DCPO) humbled Task Force Davao, 85-72.
Ramir Faustino topscored with 27 points and Arnold Pacino added 19 points.
