James Yap rallied Purefoods from a 14-point fourth quarter deficit before Kerby Raymundo nailed the game-winning free throw in the Giants’ thrilling 86-85 come-from-behind victory over the Alaska Aces Friday in their KFC-PBA Philippine Cup Finals. (TeamPilipinas.info)

Purefoods played great basketball last night. And even if that foul wasn’t called, PF would have won it in OT. Alaska was only able to put a 14-point lead because of their treys, but other than that, they did nothing to stop PF!

From Alaska Governor Joaqui Trillo:
“I really think that wasn’t a foul at a crucial point in the game, I think Purefoods would’ve wanted to earn the win. I think the win was given on a silver platter. We don’t want to complain. We don’t want to protest. We’ll take what’s given to us. I just feel bad because the guys played very well.”

A win is a win. Whether served on silver platter or not. I’m sure now that Alaska is down 2 games, they’d take any win, even served on a golden platter!

Good job Giants!! See you on, Sunday!
