July 4 - Saturday - SMART Araneta
From a defiicit of 20 at [76-56], the gutsy Elasto Painters, by sheer persistence, crawl back to within 3 at [94-97] - with time down to a few minutes. Beerman Marcio Lassiter counters with a clutch three, from the corner, to make ir [94-110]. But the Never-Say-Die Painters counter with 6 straight points to equalize at 110 ALL !
With around 24 seconds in the match, San Miguel throws in - and with a bout 11 seconds left, Marcio dishes a chest pass to big man AZ Reid.
Elasto painter Wendell McKines intercepts the pass whilst sending it to the team mate Jirah Ibanez, who immediately pushes the ball, flicks a lead pass to a streaking Jeffrei Chan - who then pulls up behind the arc - releases and - converts the rainbow - to put Rain o rShine ahead by 3 [113-110] !!, with barely 7 seconds left.
After the ensuing San Miguel throw in - Alex Cabagnot takes a desperation three in an attempt to forge an overtime.
