Photo from FilOil EcoOil Sports.</div>MANILA — De La Salle University stole a victory from the University of the East (UE), all thanks to the heroics of Kevin Quiambao.This, after the KQ and Green Archers stunned the Red Warriors, 77-74, during their Tuesday evening faceoff in San Juan City.Quiambao erupted for 24 points — nine of which came in the last 26 seconds — seven rebounds, and five assists as the Taft-based hoopers completed a comeback victory over UE. Helping him was Jonnel Policarpio who finished with 18 markers and three boards.As UE was poised to end the game with a six-point lead, 74-68, Quiambao banked a three-pointer off a timeout to get La Salle to within three with only 26 seconds left in the contest.La Salle then forced a turnover in the next possession, and KQ capitalized on this by converting and completing an and-one to tie the contest at 74.The Green Archers managed to force another UE error to steal the possession with only 13.8 seconds remaining in the game, and Quiambao took matters into his hands in the clutch by hitting the game-winning, pull-up trey to allow La Salle to improve to 3-1 in the standings.<div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1716894991572IMG_2694.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>La Salle’s Kevin Quiambao.
