MANILA\u00a0— Jonathan Grey saved GlobalPort as the squad forced a sudden-death match in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals against Rain Or Shine, with a 114-113 win, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Grey hit the go-ahead triple with 11 seconds left as the eighth-seeded Batang Pier, with a once-to-beat disadvantage, turned back the top-seeded Elasto Painters to force another game on Thursday night for a spot in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

But that ensued after the Elasto Painters failed to put away the game.<\/p>\n

Following a Gabe Norwood layup with 1:31 left, ROS was up, 112-110, even as Grey could only muster a split from the line in the next play.<\/p>\n

However, Maverick Ahanmisi missed two free throws that could have stretched the team’s lead to three.<\/p>\n

The team still got a chance to stretch the lead when Sean Anthony was out of bounds with 17 seconds to go.<\/p>\n

Ahanmisi, however, missed another free throw and could only go 1-for-2 in his next trip to the free throw line as the E-Painters held on to a 113-11 cushion with 16 seconds left.<\/p>\n

Malcolm White then found Grey from beyond the arc for the eventual game-winner.<\/p>\n

ROS still had three chances to steal the win, but Norwood missed a triple, Reggie Johnson’s lay-in was blocked by White, and Ahanmisi missed another three as the buzzer sounded.<\/p>\n

Grey’s game-winner capped a 22-point performance from him to backstop White’s 28 even as Stanley Pringle flirted with a triple-double after making 21 markers, nine rebounds, and nine assists with one steal for GlobalPort.<\/p>\n

Johnson finished with 24 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, one block, and one steal for ROS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
