After winning the last five out of its six games, NorthPort falls at the very last moment to a gutsy Phoenix squad for the eighth and final PBA Governors' Cup playoff seed. PBA
MANILA, Philippines – The Phoenix Fuel Masters outhustled the NorthPort Batang Pier in their PBA Governors’ Cup knockout match for the eighth and final playoff seed, and escaped in a 101-98 thriller at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, March 13.
Roi Sumang only made matters worse for NorthPort’s flimsy hold on the game after committing a costly turnover that led to a split free-throw line trip for RR Garcia for a 101-98 Phoenix lead. Garcia came out of nowhere with a 19-point spark off the bench, backstopped by Jason Perkins’ 18-marker, 11-rebound double-double.
All NorthPort starters scored in double figures in the heartbreaking season-ending loss, led by Artis’ 21-point, 12-board double-double, and Robert Bolick’s 19 markers, 9 rebounds, 7 dimes, and 2 steals.
