MANILA\u00a0— Alaska assured itself of a Top 6 finish in the PBA Philippine Cup while spoiling Rain Or Shine’s last dash to the playoff bonus, with a 99-95 victory at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City Friday night.<\/p>\n

The Elasto Painters, despite having two weeks off from their last game, showed grit for most of the ballgame and even led 95-94 with 1:30 left.<\/p>\n

Vic Manuel scored the eventual game-winner with 39 seconds to go as the Aces led 96-95.<\/p>\n

ROS then missed three straight triples down the stretch as Alaska eventually sealed the game with clutch free throws.<\/p>\n

Jvee Casio tallied a triple-double of 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists with two steals for the Aces, who finished their campaign in the elimination round at 7-4, enough for them to evade the dreaded twice-to-beat disadvantage in the next round.<\/p>\n

Sonny Thoss had his own double-double of 10 markers and 10 caroms with two assists and one block.<\/p>\n

Marlon Magat got extended minutes following the absence of Gilas player Calvin Abueva and had 14 points, six boards, two dimes, and one block.<\/p>\n

Maverick Ahanmisi fired 23 points with five rebounds, five assists, and five steals for the E-Painters, who now need to beat both the San Miguel Beermen and Barangay Ginebra to have a chance to clinch the other twice-to-beat advantage in the knockout stages. The Beermen, who won earlier Friday against Kia, secured the first quarterfinal bonus following the E-Painters’ loss.<\/p>\n

Sidney Onwubere only had one rebound in his first game with the E-Painters.<\/p>\n
