    The team though, failed to convert from the final shooting station.

    Nonetheless, the team won the competition over two other selections.

    Senator Bong Go, sportswriter Jonas Terrado of the Inquirer, and fan Roger Suplag joined David in the victorious Red Team, which received cash prize and a plaque.

    Go converted from three-point range off a Terrado pass, paving the way for David to hit the game-winning shot.

    "I was practicing that shot during the warm up, pero I wasn't making it," said the lovely courtside reporter. "It's unconventional, pero pumasok naman yung tira, kaysa I shoot it the usual way, pero hindi naman siya masu-shoot."

    Earlier, Team White put itself in a position to win the contest with a two-minute time limit after reaching the midcourt with still six seconds left in its clock when Justine Bacnis of Tiebreaker Times sank it from beyond the three-point arc.

    But its lone attempt from midcourt didn’t go in as it settled for a runner up finish.

    Comprising Team White with Bacnis are former Letran player Ramon Andrei Pantin, now a councilor in Passi City, Cignal’s Bea Escudero, and fan Jephe Palmes.
