"Actually, hindi sa akin yun. Ako lang yung ball handler at the time," he recalled. "E lahat ng shooters namin naka-deny, si Von (Pessumal) and si Miah (Gray). Nakita ko open lane, kaya ayun layup."

The basket was the first of back-to-back attempts made by David in the final 1:49 as the Kings completed an endgame comeback for a 108-107 win over the Elasto Painters.

The sophomore also scored the game winner with 2.4 seconds to go in a fastbreak play.

"Yung winning shot. Nakita ko na-rebound ni Miah. Kaya pagka-rebound niya tumakbo na ako," said David who cut to the basket and received the perfect pass from Gray.

The sophomore guard finished with six points, five rebounds, and two assists.

"Sobrang saya ko. Sakto nanonood yung magulang ko, yung fiancee ko, at yung baby ko," said David.

"First time nilang nanood na nagamit ako."

Truly, David made the most out of it.
