Falcons soar to keep Final Four hopes up, then catch a break after Eagles crash
The Adamson Soaring Falcons kept their UAAP Season 88 Final Four hopes alive by narrowly defeating the La Salle Green Archers, 61-60.
Adamson, needing a victory, snapped a three-game losing streak to improve their record to 6-7 and move a half game behind La Salle for the last semifinals slot.
The Falcons 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.
Adamson's win, combined with University of the Philippines' victory over Ateneo, keeps their Final Four chances alive.
