STAR survived a barrage of three-pointers by KG Canaleta to score a come-from-behind 96-90 win and get back on track in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
The Hotshots went to import Tony Mitchell, Mark Barroca, and rookie Jio Jalalon to turn the tables on the Elite who controlled three-fourths of the way behind the hot-shooting hands of Canaleta.
