Peter June Simon was at the right place at the right time, scoring a putback off a broken play with 2.5 seconds left to lift the B-MEG Llamados to a tense 74-72 win over the Barangay Ginebra Kings at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum on Friday night.
The victory sealed a second straight championship berth for the Llamados, as they face the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the Governors’ Cup finals that begins on Sunday.
Simon came from the weak side, tipped the ball in off a missed jumper from import Marqus Blakely.
Ginebra had one last shot, but Kerby Raymundo missed a three-pointer at the buzzer that would have won the game.
“I drew it all up,” joked B-MEG coach Tim Cone moments after the victory. “I called a play for Marqus to throw up a shot and PJ to come from the weak side to put it back in.
