Yves Sason came through with a game-winning three-point shot with a second left to lift Bataan to a tense 77-76 squeaker of Muntinlupa in a wild and wooly finish in the MPBL 2025 Season Wednesday night at the Orion Sports Complex.<\/p>\n
Needing a basket in a hurry right after the Risers got a big break when Domark Matillano couldn’t control the rebound off a deliberately missed free throw from John Capulong, Bataan set up Sason coming off a baseline inbound play.<\/p>\n
Much credit should also be given to\u00a0 Jamil Gabawan, who set up a solid screen that set up the dead shot shooter to receive the pass and free himself for the game-winning triple from right quarter court.<\/p>\n
Sason’s basket sent the hometown crowd in a frenzy as the Risers notched their third win in eight games while dealing the Cagers Lakan their first loss in five matches.<\/p>\n
Pampanga similarly carved out a hard-earned 94-90 triumph over hard-fighting Mindoro while Basilan outplayed Caloocan, 92-82, in the other game.<\/p>\n
Team captain Archie Concepcion erupted for 31 points to lead the Giant Lanterns in securing their sixth win in seven matches.<\/p>\n
Another Concepcion, Sherwin, shone bright in Basilan’s latest triumph as the former PBA draftee knocked in 22 markers to lead Portmasters to their latest win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
