By Rain or Shine survived a Jaylen Johnson ejection, a 38-point explosion from Bol Bol, and needed to tear down an 18-point deficit to fend off TNT, 112-109, in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup on Friday at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. Adrian Nocum found the crucial shot that made it a three-point game late, defeating Bol as his defender, 112-109, which ultimately turned out to be the final score.
It was Rain or Shine’s answer to a Calvin Oftana four-pointer, 30 seconds left in the game, that made the match a narrow 110-109 count. Before that, Johnson was ejected alongside Glenn Khobuntin, after trading punches 6:20 in the fourth quarter clock. The Elasto Painters went all-Filipino since then.
