Adamson Falcons end losing skid, beat FEU Tamaraws

The Adamson Soaring Falcons secured a crucial 63-54 victory against the FEU Tamaraws, snapping a three-game losing streak and improving their record to 4-5 in the UAAP Season 86 men's basketball tournament.

This win provides a significant morale boost for Adamson, especially following the devastating news of star guard Jerom Lastimosa's full ACL tear, which has sidelined him for most of the season.

Joshua Yerro and Joem Sabandal were key offensive contributors for Adamson, scoring 11 and 10 points respectively.

Despite building a substantial lead that reached 19 points in the third quarter, Adamson experienced a scoring drought in the fourth quarter, making only one field goal in the final minute of the game.

FEU attempted a late comeback with consecutive three-pointers from L-Jay Gonzales and Xyrus Torres, but it proved insufficient as Adamson held on for the win.

Head coach Nash Racela expressed confidence in the team's chances of making the Final Four despite Lastimosa's injury, noting that the team has adapted to playing without him for most of the season.
