    ICHIE Altamirano took over down the stretch as Apex Fuel-San Sebastian kept its hopes alive in the 2022 PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup semifinals with an 82-74 victory over Marinerong Pilipino on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

    The veteran guard fired eight of his 13 points in the last 5:29 as he sparked a 10-0 Golden Stags run to turn a 71-68 deficit to a 78-71 lead with 2:07 remaining.
