Jerom Lastimosa delivers the game-winning triple with 5.5 seconds left as the Adamson Soaring Falcons rise to solo fourth spot and keep their Final Four hopes alive. UAAPSeason85
MANILA, Philippines – Jerom Lastimosa showed up when it counted the most as the Adamson Soaring Falcons escaped the NU Bulldogs, 64-63, to remain in the hunt for a Final Four spot in the UAAP Season 85 men’s basketball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Saturday, November 26.
Steve Nash Enriquez had a chance to steal the lead back and win it all for NU in the final possession, but his three-pointer from the top of the key failed to hit the mark at the buzzer. “I know Jerom was struggling today, that was obvious because NU made adjustments,” said Adamson head coach Nash Racela.
With the win, Adamson improved its record to 7-6 and broke its tie at the fourth spot with the La Salle Green Archers, who will face the UE Red Warriors at 4 pm later in the day.
