However, Moultrie got the ball and put it back in to force a 97-all deadlock with 58 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n<p>NLEX got a chance to retake the lead as Gabe Norwood lost the ball at the baseline, but with the team out of timeouts, Kiefer Ravena could only settle for a triple that he muffed.<\/p>\n<p>The E-Painters opted to go for the win without calling a timeout, but Tiu and Washington missed their three-point attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Johnson got the ball and was fouled on the third try. He missed the first free throw, but sank the second for the 98-97 lead with 7.8 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n<p>The Road Warriors had one final crack for the win, but Tiu swiped the ball from Juami Tiongson to save the win for the E-Painters.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson collected 27 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, and three blocks, while Tiu and Raymond Almazan each tallied 12 markers for ROS.<\/p>\n<p>Moultrie made 24 points, 17 boards, three dimes, and one block in his debut for NLEX.<\/p>\n<p>Ravena came close to a triple-double with 23 points, eight caroms, and eight assists with one steal and two blocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANTIPOLO CITY\u00a0&#8212; Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters scored its third straight win in the PBA Commissioner&#8217;s Cup in a tight &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":162501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[17153,18160,50381,50541,46738],"class_list":["post-162500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-nlex","tag-nlex-road-warriors","tag-pba-commissioners-cup","tag-rain-or-shine-elasto-painters","tag-ros","mauthors-ivan-stewart-saldajeno","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
