Left for dead after falling into a 17-point hole in the third quarter, the Elasto Painters launched an impressive comeback behind Chan, who converted the three-point play that gave them the lead for good and got them back on the winning track.
Jeff Chan played big in crunchtime, scoring the game-winning three-point play to cap Rain or Shine’s comeback from 17 points down and snatch a 96-94 win over the Phoenix Fuel Masters in the Oppo PBA Commissioner’s Cup Wednesday at SMART-Araneta Coliseum.
Chan finished with 24 points, including the clutch and-one that helped Rain or Shine (4-2) snap a two-game skid.
