Macau leaned on standout performances from its key cogs to upend an all-Filipino Blackwater by way of a 123-119 decision to chalk up win no. 2 in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup, Tuesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Jenning Leung finished with 30 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, Damian Chonqgui dropped his own 30-piece, while Ramon Cao fired 29 alongside 10 rebounds as the troika delivered in the clutch to complete the escape.
Chongqui himself knocked down the go-ahead trey that put the guest team ahead for good, 118-116, with under three minutes left, before Leung came through with crucial conversions in the final 2:07 to keep the foes at bay.
A split by Chao Xingzhao with 8.7 seconds left, and a Sedrick Barefield turnover while looking for the equalizing four proved all enough for the Black Knights to come away with the narrow win against an incomplete Bossing team.
Coach Pat Aquino had to make do without hulking reinforcement Robert Upshaw III, who sat out the match reportedly due to a calf injury.
