Bono finished with eight points, including the game-tying deuce, 20-20, in the final two seconds.

Comboy, who added six points, then began the overtime period with a jumper, before Bono ended it all by scoring on a layup.

San Miguel claimed the P100,000 prize money and atoned for its runner-up finish after losing the title to Cavitex Braves in the finals of Leg 2.

Almond Vosotros led TNT with eight points, but couldn’t convert the possible game-winner at the buzzer when his shot was blocked by Jeff Manday.

The Tropang Giga, opening-leg champions, settled for the runner-up prize worth P50,000.

The battle for third place belonged to Meralco as it bagged P30,000 after trouncing Platinum Karaoke, 19-12.
