    BARANGAY Ginebra found an unlikely hero in Jayson David as it authored a 108-107 comeback over Rain or Shine in the PBA On Tour on Sunday night at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

    David scored the Kings' last four points including the go-ahead basket with 2.4 seconds left.

    Rain or Shine missed its final two attempts including a Nick Demusis corner shot at the buzzer that missed its mark, losing for the first time in six preseason games.

    “We had guys stepping up. Jayson David was struggling the whole game, but came big in the endgame,” said Ginebra coach Richard Del Rosario.

    Rain or Shine appeared on its way to wrapping up the game after Rey Nambatac completed a three-point play for a 107-101 lead with 1:49 left to play.

    But the Kings went on an 8-0 run sparked by a Jeremiah Gray three-pointer and capped by David’s back-to-back baskets.
