ABS-CBN Sports</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) -- In their first game without Frankie Lim, the Perpetual Help Altas came away with an 88-87 triumph over Emilio Aguinaldo College in the NCAA Season 95 men&#x27;s basketball tournament, Tuesday at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan.Ben Adamos hit the dagger jumper with 46.7 seconds left for an 88-84 spread, and the Altas withstood a late push by the Generals to clinch the win.It was only Perpetual Help&#x27;s third win of the season against five defeats, but it gave interim head coach Myk Saguiguit a winning start in the seniors division. Lim had been placed on leave by the team management following last week&#x27;s 102-56 rout against San Beda.&quot;Siguro ito &#x27;yung ano, kumbaga parang bawi ng team. Kasi after that loss against San Beda, masyadong down &#x27;yung team namin. Kumbaga, we need this win very badly. So tinrabaho ng mga bata, and I&#x27;m thankful for that,&quot; said Saguiguit, the interim coach.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2019/08/19/ncaa-donates-p100-000-batanes-earthquake-victims-60075">READ: NCAA donates P100,000 to Batanes earthquake victims</a></li></ul>It took a balanced effort from the Altas, with Rey Paralta scoring 19 points and Jeff Egan adding 16. Kim Aurin had 14 points, Jielo Razon added 12, and Adamos finished with a double-double of 11 points and 13 rebounds. Edgar Charcos finished with 6 points and 8 assists in the win.The Altas led by as much as 15 points and were ahead, 47-39, at the half, but the Generals steadily worked their way back behind the backcourt tandem of CJ Cadua and Marwin Taywan.Perpetual Help took an 83-75 lead off a Peralta lay-up, but free throws by JC Luciano and JP Maguliano, and a booming three-pointer by Cadua, put the Generals right back in the game, 83-81, with 3:32 left to play.The Altas would push ahead, 86-82, thanks to a clutch jump shot by Egan at the 2:32 mark, and they got a stop when Cadua&#x27;s triple rimmed out. But with under a minute left, Taywan got to the rim and converted a floater that made it a two-point game, 86-84.Adamos had the answer for Perpetual Help. The big man popped out for a jump shot that restored their four-point advantage with 46.7 seconds left, and the Altas forced Taywan into a tough miss from beyond the arc in their next possession.EAC last threatened when Cadua nailed a triple with 1.5 seconds to go, but it was too little, too late for the Generals.Cadua finished with 22 points, while Taywan had 21 points and 7 assists. Maguliano finished with a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds.The hard-luck Generals lost their sixth game in a row, dropping to 1-7 in the season. <div>The scores:</div>PERPETUAL 88 - Peralta 19, Egan 16, Aurin 14, Razon 12, Adamos 11, Charcos 6, Cuevas 4, Sevilla 3, Martel 3, Barasi 0, Tamayo 0EAC 87 - Cadua 22, Taywan 21, Maguliano 15, Luciano 12, Mendoza 5, Gurtiza 4, Martin 3, Carlos 3, Dayrit 1, Tampoc 1, Estacio 0, Gonzales 0, De Guzman 0QUARTER SCORES: 25-14, 47-39, 68-63, 88-87.<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website.</a></div>
