RAIN or Shine overcame a flat start to pull off an amazing 91-89 come-from-behind win over TNT in a PBA Philippine Cup out-of-town game in Cagayan De Oro City, Saturday night.
Andre Caracut hit the go-ahead basket for the Elasto Painters, 90-89, inside the final two-minute mark before Jhonard Clarito’s split free throw with seven seconds remaining made it a two-point lead for the team.
The Tropang 5G still had one final shot of turning the outcome around, but failed to make a winning play which allowed the Elasto Painters to complete their comeback from an 18-point deficit.
The Rain or Shine win improved its record to 6-2 and dislodged TNT on top of the standings.
