Jerom Lastimosa played hero in endgame after hitting the game-winning triple for Adamson to pull off a 64-63 win over NU in the second round of the UAAP Season 85 men’s basketball tournament Saturday, Nov. 26, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Despite struggling on the offensive end and missing back-to-back shots from beyond the arc in the final minute, Lastimosa’s single-digit finish of seven points built on two three-pointers and a lone free throw lifted the Soaring Falcons past the Bulldogs to keep themselves in contention for the last Final Four spot and improve 7-6 in the standings.
With only 5.5 ticks left, Lastimosa finally buried his second triple of the match to seal the win for the Falcons. “We’re still alive and alam ko na yung dalawang tira ko hindi siya pumasok pero I never gave up sa last shot. I think deserve ko naman ‘yon kasi pina-practice ko talaga ‘yon,” said Lastimosa.
