Star Hotshots 97 vs Alaska Aces 90
The Aces squandered a double-digit lead in regulation, before regaining their bearings in overtime to pull off the hard-earned victory.
Calvin Abueva and Vic Manuel reenergized the Aces after they lost the lead, coming up with the biggest plays down the stretch as they broke a tie with the Hotshots, improving to a 4-3 win-loss record.
The Hotshots, on the other hand, dropped below. 500 at 3-4 after their comeback fell short.
“Calvin and Vic were obviously, sila talaga 'yung bida. They carried us,” Aces coach Alex Compton said. “Their energy was tremendous.”
Abueva registered 23 points and missed a double-double by just one rebound, kicking things off with a coast-to-coast layup in the extra session that already put the Aces up for good.
