The Batang Pier still had one last chance to win the game, but rookie Sean Manganti’s attempt from three-point range was deflected by Javee Mocon at the buzzer.

NorthPort fell to a third straight loss inside the PBA bubble to share the basement with NLEX at a similar 0-3 record.

The setback was compounded by the team scoring a record two points in the third quarter and the absence of injured forward Kevin Ferrer.

Meanwhile, Rain or Shine posted a third win in a row to tie the inactive TnT Tropang Giga at the top of the standings.
