Cyrus Baguio hit a fastbreak layup in transition to beat the buzzer and give the Alaska Aces an 83-81 victory over the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters Saturday night at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.
Baguio’s basket capped a thrilling endgame comeback for the Aces, who needed a desperation 25-foot three-pointer from Calvin Abueva to tie the game at 81-all with 10 seconds left in the game.
Rain or Shine set up a play for import Bruno Sundov for its final possession. But the attempt of the 7-foot-3 Croatian, who scored a game-high 30 points, was foiled at the basket by Abueva, leading to a loose ball.
That sequence led to a recovery by Baguio, who raced down court past three Elasto Painters to score the game-winning layup.
Import Robert Dozier led the Aces with 21 points in his PBA debut.
The game will be broadcast over AKTV at 10 p.m. Saturday.
