Paul Lee labored in the first half of their quarterfinal game against the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters on Sunday afternoon.

Lee, who scores 17.0 points per game in the 2021 PBA Philippine Cup, was limited to one point in the first half after missing all of his six field goal attempts.

"Kilala naman natin si Paul eh. Anytime he can score, 12, 15 points in any given minutes," Victolero said after they completed an 81-70 win that gave them a 1-0 lead in their best-of-3 quarterfinals series. Moreover, Victolero points out that even as he struggled with his shot, Lee was still able to contribute in other areas of the game. He had three boards and an assist in the first half, and the defensive attention on him opened up the floor for their other players, particularly Ian Sangalang.

"He attracts the defense," Victolero said of Lee. "Nago-open up din 'yung iba for Ian, for Calvin (Abueva, for other guys. So, hindi lang naman the points 'yung nako-contribute ni Paul, but overall, 'yung kanyang presence, importante doon eh."
