More so, Orlando Johnson will still be there providing the points for Ginebra. But Meralco (4-4) has Andre Emmett to match up against Johnson, and the D-League All-Star MVP will be more than ready to duel with the Kings’ high-scoring reinforcement.
An Emmett layup scored a layup to give his team a 101-99 lead with 32.9 seconds left. Ginebra import Orlando Johnson lost the ball on the other end as Emmett found himself shooting free throws.
But he missed one of two charities, giving Ginebra, with no timeouts left, a chance to tie the game with 16.2 ticks left. However, Sol Mercado missed his triple as time expired.
