Tied at 95, Fonacier drilled a booming triple to give NLEX the lead with 1:49 to go. With 23 seconds remaining, Larry hit another three as the Road Warriors took a four-point lead, 101-97.
For good measure, Fonacier even played tremendous defense on Alex Cabagnot in the game's final possession, denying San Miguel of a chance for a decent shot at a tie.
The performance was eerily similar to the last time Fonacier faced the Beermen back in May 5 during the Commissioner's Cup when he also hit two clutch triples that allowed TNT KaTropa to beat San Miguel.
