Ced Manzano and Joshua Yerro both had the chance to either tie the tally or get a one-point lead but muffled their respective attempts. </p><p>Gonzales’s two charities at the 16.3-second mark gifted FEU a 47-43 breather. However, Joem Sabandal threatened them when he drained a triple in the final 11 seconds, 46-47. </p><p>Royce Alforque put the finishing touches with another pair of free throws for a 49-46 gap. Sabandal tried to force an extension with a three-point attempt but to no avail. </p><p>Yerro paced Adamson with 12 points while Manzano only had nine and 10 boards in the match. </p><p>FEU also played without Cholo Anonuevo for third straight game due to a hand injury.</p>

FEU held tight on their slim lead in the payoff period to clinch a 49-46 win over the Adamson Soaring Falcons at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday.
