Shabazz Muhammad saves day as Magnolia edges Terrafirma; TNT wins 4th straight
Shabazz Muhammad made a stellar debut for the Magnolia Hotshots, leading them to a 99-98 victory over TerraFirma in the PBA Governors' Cup.
Muhammad scored the crucial go-ahead floater with 8.1 seconds remaining in the game.
He registered 20 points, four rebounds, and proved to be the player who could take charge down the stretch, according to coach Chito Victolero.
Magnolia improved its record to 4-3, securing third place in Group A, and this win marked their 19th consecutive victory against TerraFirma.
TerraFirma, despite a dominant performance from import Antonio Hester who scored 39 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, suffered their seventh consecutive loss, falling to 0-7.
Kevin Ferrer missed a potential game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer for TerraFirma after Stanley Pringle lost possession.
