MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Paul Lee broke San Miguel’s hearts as Magnolia escaped with a 109-108 victory in their PBA Governors’ Cup clash at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Lee’s leaner–plus Ian Sangalang’s block on Alex Cabagnot’s floater–saved the Hotshots from Kevin Murphy’s explosive as a Beerman.<\/p>\n

Magnolia’s endgame heroics, however, started with Justin Melton.<\/p>\n

With the team down 104-108 with less than a minute to play, Melton fired a quick triple off the inbound pass from Romeo Travis to cut the deficit down to one with 51.8 seconds to go.<\/p>\n

As Murphy missed a jumper, Travis grabbed the rebound and quickly gave the ball to Mark Barroca, who found Lee at the right corner for the one-dribble pull-up leaner with 34.3 seconds left.<\/p>\n

The club’s defense then forced Kelly Nabong to a long triple that he actually nearly converted.<\/p>\n

Travis, however, tapped the ball to Chris Standhardinger, who found an opening for a jump hook only that he muffed the shot.<\/p>\n

Cabagnot got the loose ball after another tap and drove to the basket for the teardrop, but Sangalang got a piece of Cabagnot’s heave as time expired.<\/p>\n

Lee, despite turning the ball six times, finished with 28 points, three rebounds, and three assists for the Hotshots, who tied the Blackwater Elite in second place at 4-1.<\/p>\n

Murphy dropped 37 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block for the Beermen, who fell to 2-3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
