At one point in the final frame, Joshua Munzon looked to be already done for the night after getting subbed out due to a case of cramps.
Munzon drained a booming triple with 1:10 left to keep NorthPort before he bothered Justin Brownlee and enough to force a turnover with 2.8 seconds left and preserve the victory that solidified NorthPort's hold of the top spot. Tolentino also had a game for himself with 29 points built on six triples but he had to watch from the bench in the final 2:02 of the contest after picking up his sixth and final foul.
Even after the clutch Munzon trey that made it 117-109 for NorthPort, Ginebra refused to give up and went on a 5-0 spurt before Brownlee got the chance to tie the game with three free throws with 8.9 seconds left
