Magnolia import Antonio Hester garners strong support from the Hotshots' veteran core in their big overtime comeback to eliminate the Terrafirma Dyip. PBA
MANILA, Philippines – The Magnolia Hotshots averted a huge upset in the midst of its 2023 PBA Governors’ Cup quarterfinal bid and escaped in overtime, 121-115, to oust the Terrafirma Dyip from contention at the PhilSports Arena on Saturday, March 4.
Calvin Abueva had one of his best games of the season as well with a big 16-point, 17-rebound, 4-assist line in 33 minutes as Magnolia rose to a 7-4 record off its third straight win. Terrafirma, on the other hand, dropped to its sixth consecutive loss in embarrassing fashion, settling with a 2-8 slate.
By the time the scoreboard moved again after a Mark Barroca jumper for a 116-111 separation, Terrafirma only had a minute left to salvage its sorry night, but Andreas Cahilig’s desperation three clanked off with 50 ticks remaining, leading to an Aris Dionisio dagger, 118-111, with just 25 seconds to play.
Terrafirma import Jordan Williams led all scorers in the loss with 45 points on 15-of-24 shooting, albeit with 8 turnovers, while sniper Juami Tiongson filled up the stat sheet with 19 points, 4 boards, 4 dimes, and 4 steals.
