    ARELLANO hacked out a 65-63 escape over San Sebastian on Sunday in the NCAA Season 97 seniors basketball tournament at La Salle Greenhills.

    Gelo Sablan scored the go-ahead freebies with 47.3 seconds left before Jordan Sta. Ana secured the crucial offensive rebound off of two missed charities that led to Axel Doromal icing the game for the Chiefs with a split from the free throw line in the last 3.6 ticks.

    The Golden Stags still had one last shot to steal the game, but Michael Are missed his potential game-winning three at the buzzer.

    Justin Arana injured

    The victory, however, came at a cost for Arellano as Justin Arana had to exit the game at the 1:49 mark after an apparent knee injury in a rebound play against Jesse Sumoda.

    Arana had 16 points, 15 rebounds, and four blocks.

    "Depensa talaga yung kailangan namin kasi lamang kami ng two points nung na-injure [si Arana], so kailangan talaga namin ay dumepensa at luckily nakakuha kami ng bola," said coach Cholo Martin.

    Troy Valencia added nine points and five rebounds, as Sablan got eight and six in the conquest.
