JB Bahio trickled in the game-winner with three-tenths of a second remaining to lift NLEX past Rain or Shine, 92-90, to snatch the provisional lead in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Wednesday night.
The versatile forward showed no hesitation upon receiving Robert Bolick’s dish, pulling up for the baseline jumper with the clock winding for the marginal bucket which eventually enabled the Road Warriors to pull off the great escape.
“Tira niya talaga yun. Credit sa hard work niya,” said the star guard as he once again pulled off a game-changing assist like what he did that led to L-Jay Gonzales’ game-winning trifecta at the buzzer to beat Meralco last April 17.
Bahio finished with nine points and seven rebounds plus three steals off the bench as his heroics propelled the crew on top of the standings with an 8-2 record.
