STRONG GROUP-PILIPINAS hacked out a thrilling 83-79 comeback win in overtime (OT) against Chinese Taipei-A to cap a perfect title run in the 43rd William Jones Cup over the weekend in Taiwan.
The Philippine representative erased a seven-point deficit in the final minute of regulation before pulling through in extra session to score an 8-0 sweep and bring home the country’s seventh overall title in the annual invitational tournament.
Mighty Sports, also under the tutelage of now Strong Group Athletics (SGA) mentor Charles Tiu, was the last Philippine team to win the Jones Cup in 2019 as Rain or Shine from the PBA finished seventh last year.
There was no stopping the Filipino cagers this time around, even at the jaws of a 64-71 deficit with only 1:08 to play on the road.
