Pringle was forced to foul Mark Barroca with 7.8 seconds left, and Barroca made one of two charities for a 105-102 lead with seven seconds to go.&quot;Para sa akin, &#x27;yun &#x27;yung nag-decide ng game,&quot; Romeo said after the contest, which they lost 102-105 to drop to 0-3 in the 2016 PBA Governors&#x27; Cup. &quot;&#x27;Yung &#x27;yung turning point.&quot;&quot;Para sa akin, malinis &#x27;yung pagkaka-foul ni Stanley,&quot; he added.(READ: <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/basketball/news/2016/07/24/garcia-star-edge-romeo-globalport-ot-first-win-13616" target="_blank">Garcia, Star edge out Romeo, Globalport in OT for first win</a>) Romeo stopped short of saying that it should not have been a deliberate foul, instead stressing: &quot;Basta para sa akin, malinis ang pagkaka-foul ni Stanley.&quot;GlobalPort went to Joseph Yeo in its final possession as both Romeo and Pringle were well-defended, and he threw up a triple that badly misfired as the time ran out.Garcia, who finished with 26 points in the game, however, said that Pringle was not going for the ball.&quot;Sa shoulder niya ako hinampas eh,&quot; he said. &quot;Hindi naman sa bola, hindi naman siya for the ball &#x27;yung ginawa niya, kaya siyempre, iba &#x27;yung tawag nag referee.&quot;With the loss, GlobalPort is now 0-3 in the conference while Star improved to 1-2.&quot;&#x27;Di ko pa masabi kung ano &#x27;yung nagiging problema (namin),&quot; Romeo said of their woeful start to the season-ending conference. &quot;Pero hindi ako nagfo-focus doon.&quot;&quot;Sa akin, siguro maga-adjust kami pag nag-viewing kami. Makita namin &#x27;yung mga dapat naming i-adjust, tapos gawin namin sa next game at gawin namin sa practice,&quot; he added.GlobalPort next plays on Sunday, July 31, against the Phoenix Fuel Masters.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website.</a>
