Resilient NLEX rises from ashes to nip SMB in OT

MANILA, Philippines: Veteran guard Kris Rosales provided the spark NLEX sorely needed in the second half as the Road Warriors shocked powerhouse San Miguel Beer, 117-113 in overtime to book their first win in the 2023-24 PBA Commissioner's Cup on Wednesday night at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

Scoreless in the first half that also saw NLEX trail, 62-47, Rosales repaid the trust coach Frankie Lim gave him after firing 15 of his 19 points in the last period, including the game-tying triple with nine ticks left that eventually sent the game into an extra five minutes.
