Mindoro struggled to find the basket for 12 minutes in the second half, but still managed to mount a late comeback and escape with a 71-69 victory, led by BamBam Gamalinda.
The unusual sequence quickly became a discussion among netizens, particularly because of how dramatically the game shifted during the closing minutes.
Some fans online questioned the prolonged scoring drought and drew comparisons to other unusual scoring stretches that have recently attracted attention in Philippine basketball.
What made the sequence stand out was what happened afterward.
Despite being held scoreless for 12 minutes, Mindoro suddenly found its rhythm when the game was on the line and completed the comeback against Marikina.
The result has nevertheless sparked discussions among fans about the importance of transparency and integrity, especially whenever unusual stretches of play occur. (By The Staff)
