RJ Abarrientos Hits Winning Shot As FEU Steals Game From Adamson

FEU (3-3) trailed Adamson (1-5) throughout the 4th quarter and was trailing 54-62 with 3 minutes left in the game before the Tamaraws unleashed a 12-3 blast to end the game at 66-65. RJ Abarrientos hits the game-winning 3 with 20 seconds left while Jerom Lastimosa missed another probable game-winner on a 3-point shot attempt. The game started slowly with both teams playing deliberate basketball. First quarter ends at 13-9 FEU leads. Lenda Douanga was doing the damage for Adamson while LJ Gonzales was heating up in the 2nd quarter. Jerom Lastimosa makes a pull-up jumper for a 28-26 Adamson half-time lead. In the 3rd quarter Abarrientos teamed up with Gonzales while Cedrick Manzano holds the fort for Adamson. The Tams still lead 46-43 end of 3rd quarter. The Soaring Falcons then dropped a 8-2 bomb at the start of the 4th quarter and they led FEU since. Gonzales and Xyrus Torres kept the torch alive for FEU until they clawed back with a Gonzales layup at 63-62 before Lastimosa made a 3-ball to make it 65-62 Adamson time down to 20 seconds before the Abarrientos shot. The Tamaraws' charge were led by Abarrientos with 19 points, Gonzales 16 and Torres 13. Lastimosa led the Falcons with 16, Manzano 12 and Douanga 10.
