After pushing for the lead with another two points at the end of the third quarter, the Brothers continued steady pressure on the Managahas.
Managaha’s Arnel Banzagale and Rex Yabut were fouled after their failed attempts to land a basket, but this didn’t stop their team from scoring an extra two points’ worth of free throw shots.
It seemed that the Brothers had a few more tricks up their sleeve, after Jeff Pagarao shot for a three-pointer.
Time was running out, and the court was heating up. Both teams were tied 59-59, and all players rushed to get possession of the ball.
In the end, Pagarao saved the Brothers after scoring a final two-pointer that decided the game.
