Late-season breakout forward AJ Fransman continued his claim stake as the next big Adamson star with a new career-high of 18 points to go with 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and a stellar game-high plus-minus of +25 in just 22 minutes off the bench. “What’s important is we’re still alive. That’s something we have been telling the players. Before the game, we told them about the alignment of the stars,” Adamson head coach Nash Racela said in Filipino.
After seeing its big 20-7 second-quarter lead reduced to 31-28 before the end of the third, Adamson cleaned up its act in crunch time when it mattered most, piling on a huge 15-4 run bridging the final two frames ending with a Fransman layup at the 6:14 mark of the fourth to earn back a 14-point gap, 46-32.
