Unfortunately for Sanga and Caloocan-Victory Liner, his shots were not falling: the guard was a dismal 1-of-9 from the field at the half.He went on to miss five more attempts, before eventually finding his rhythm and willing Caloocan to victory.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/mpbl/news/2020/01/26/mpbl-pasig-punches-playoff-ticket-65502">READ: Pasig punches playoff ticket</a></li></ul>Sanga, at the time 1-of-14 from the field, sank a three-pointer with 3:58 to go in the game. He added another triple and then two charities, before teammate Cedric Labing-isa converted the go-ahead free throws.The 10 unanswered points turned what had been a 9-point deficit into a 63-62 advantage for the Supremos.They held on for the win after both teams missed their attempts in the final 2:03 of the game, giving Caloocan the slim triumph on Monday night at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City. &quot;As a veteran and as a shooter, I have to keep on shooting kahit na malas ako, kailangan ko talagang gawin &#x27;yung role ko dito sa team,&quot; said the 32-year-old swingman.Sanga, who played collegiate ball for Far Eastern University, finished with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Caloocan improved its record to 15-13, still at the 9th spot in the Northern Division but now just half-a-game behind Pasay (15-12) for the 8th seed.&quot;Sabi ko sa team, ipanalo namin &#x27;yung last three games namin para hindi na namin isipin &#x27;yung kung anong mangyayari sa Pasay,&quot; Sanga said. In other games, Iloilo squeaked out a 67-63 victory over Biñan-Luxxe White, while Basilan-Jumbo Plastic cruised to its fourth-straight win after beating Rizal-Xentro Mall, 103-85.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
