UAAP: Adamson escapes La Salle as Final Four race intensifies
The Adamson Soaring Falcons kept their UAAP Season 88 Final Four hopes alive by narrowly defeating the La Salle Green Archers, 61-60.
In dire need of a victory, the Falcons snapped a three-game losing streak to improve their record to 6-7 and move just a half game behind La Salle for the last semifinals slot.
Adamson went on a crucial 9-2 scoring run midway through the fourth quarter, capped by a Matthew Montebon jumper for a 61-55 lead with 1:59 remaining.
Despite a late surge from La Salle, including a three-pointer by Earl Abadam that narrowed the gap to one point, Adamson managed to hold on for the win.
Abadam missed a potential game-winning three-pointer as time ran out.
