The Marinerong Pilipino Skippers kept their playoff hopes alive after their 88-85 overtime win over the Metropac Movers-San Beda Red Lions last Thursday in the 2019 PBA D-League at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
Larry Rodriguez and Art Aquino led the win with each scoring 16 points, while Leonard Santillan added double-double on 15 points and 14 rebounds.
The Skippers earned baskets early in overtime behind Santillan and Jhonard Clarito for an 84-79 lead. The Movers then rallied to within 88-85 on a basket by Clint Doliguez. They nearly forced another overtime period but James Canlas misfired his triple attempt.
For the Skippers to pick up the final playoff berth, they must beat Perpetual Altas and the FEU Tamaraws must lost to the CEU Scorpions.
In other results, the Che’Lu Bar and Grill Revellers beat the AMA Online Education Titans, 115-77; while the Petron-Letran Knights defeated the Batangas EAC Generals, 115-73./ASC, WDJ
