MANILA, Philippines – Marcio Lassiter hit a 3-pointer from the left wing with 0.5 seconds left to lift the San Miguel Beermen past the NLEX Road Warriors, 94-93, on Friday, July 22, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
San Miguel, the defending champion of the PBA Governors’ Cup, trailed 93-88 with 1:02 remaining following a mid-range jumper by Asi Taulava. The comeback started with a 3-ball by Alex Cabagnot, and after NLEX import Henry Walker missed a turnaround in the paint on the next possession, it set up the stage for Lassiter to steal the victory.
