ANTIPOLO<\/strong>\u00a0— Alaska clawed back from 13 points down and held off GlobalPort, 105-98, in the first overtime game of the PBA Philippine Cup at the Ynares Center on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Showing heart down the stretch, the Aces rallied from a late double-digit deficit before finishing the job in the extra period for their sixth straight win in the conference following a marathon showdown that lasted for nearly three hours.<\/p>\n

Behind a blistering start, GlobalPort found itself leading by 13, 75-62, late in the third quarter before holding to an 88-82 cushion with 4:54 to go in the fourth.<\/p>\n

But Alaska went on an 8-0 run to take the lead, 90-88, with 2:25 remaining in regulation.<\/p>\n

Stanley Pringle buried a triple to retake the lead for the Batang Pier, 91-90, but Calvin Abueva found Kevin Racal underneath for the easy deuce, and the Aces were ahead again, 92-91, with 1:01 left in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Kelly Nabong had a big chance to equalize, but he missed a wide-open layup with 40.5 seconds left.<\/p>\n

However, Abueva still kept GlobalPort’s life a bit easy as he only made one of two free throws with 19.9 seconds left in regulation for a 93-91 count.<\/p>\n

Pringle then forced overtime with a one-hander with eight seconds to go even as the defense kept Chris Banchero from even attempting a game-winner at the buzzer.<\/p>\n

It was all-Alaska in overtime, especially the last 2:39 of the period when it outscored GlobalPort, 9-2.<\/p>\n

Vic Manuel hit seven of his 21 points in overtime while adding five rebounds, one assist, and two steals for the Aces, who solidified their hold of third place at 6-2 and could go up to second if San Miguel loses to Magnolia in the game ongoing as of posting.<\/p>\n

Banchero and Jvee Casio each added 16 markers, while Abueva finished with a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds with three dimes, two blocks, and one steal.<\/p>\n

Pringle finished with 28 points, eight caroms, six assists, and one swipe for the Batang Pier, who slipped to 3-4.<\/p>\n

They dearly missed the services of Sean Anthony, who sat out the rest of the game after injuring his foot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
