UAAP MediaMANILA -- Aurelio Fransman took charge in crunch time to power Adamson University to a 72-68 win against Ateneo de Manila University in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Basketball Tournament on Sunday.</div>Their triumph at the Mall of Asia Arena snapped a three-game slide for the Baby Falcons, improving their record to 2-7.Fransman starred in the game with 15 points, three steals, and two assists. The younger brother of Adamson Soaring Falcon AJ knocked down back-to-back triples midway through the final frame to break a 59-all deadlock.The three-pointers were timely for Fransman, who made just one of his eight previous attempts from long range before coming alive in the final period. His heroics ignited Adamson&#x27;s late charge, as Craig Fongtong&#x27;s basket and layups from Chrys Jomez and Edison Jordan stretched the lead to 71-64 with under two minutes remaining.Ateneo fought back with quick baskets from YJ Lacsamana and Zane Kallos to cut the lead to three with 52.3 seconds left, but a critical turnover by Sky Jazul at the 24.3-second mark thwarted their hopes for a game-tying shot.Although Fransman missed two crucial free throws, Prince Banate secured the offensive rebound and added a free throw, sealing the comeback win.&quot;Ang pinapa-emphasize ko sa practice, kaya naman natin manalo eh, bakit hindi natin ibahin yung result. Kaya naman natin eh, bakit kami hihinto diba? Kaya napansin niyo na different na kami lumabas nung second round kasi may adjustments sa defense,&quot; said Baby Falcons head coach Alex Barrera.Prior to this, Adamson&#x27;s lone victory had come against the winless UPIS team in the first round. They also avenged a 79-73 first round loss to Ateneo.Edison Jordan contributed a double-double with 15 points, 12 rebounds, two steals, and one assist, while Fongtong chipped in nine points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks. Keefe Iledan added eight points, eight rebounds, one steal, and one block, and Gomez rounded out the effort with seven points, seven rebounds, eight assists, and one steal.Meanwhile, the loss sent Ateneo to its fourth defeat in five games, dimming their Final Four hopes as they fell to a 4-5 record, one game behind the fourth-running NU Bullpups.Kallos&#x27; 31-point, 11-rebound double-double went unrewarded in the loss, while Lacsamana came close to a double-double with nine points, 16 rebounds, two steals, and a block.The Baby Falcons will have a two-week break to regroup and aim for their first winning streak of the season as they prepare to face the FEU-D Baby Tamaraws on Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Araneta Coliseum.The Blue Eagles will have a tall task in their next game against league-leading UE Red Warriors on November 9 also at the Big Dome.<div>THE SCORES:</div>ADU (72) - Fransman 15, E.
