    PASSI CITY - Team Japeth hit the crucial baskets late to beat Team Scottie, 140-136, on Sunday in a competitive and entertaining 2023 PBA All-Star Game at the City of Passi Arena in Iloilo.

    Roger Pogoy hit the key baskets in the endgame to help Team Japeth weather a late Team Scottie comeback in a game they dominated for the most part behind the early efforts of Paul Lee.
