CEBU, Philippines - Danny Lisondra sank a booming triple with a few seconds left to play to power Park ‘N Go Bakeshop of skipper Romy Rama to a 109-106 victory over Sta. Lucia in a double overtime match that kicked off the Talisay Balik-Basketball Association (TBA) 2010 tournament at the Talisay Sports Complex.
Park ‘N Go took a slim 26-19 lead early on and still managed to post a seven-point edge at the bend, 45-38.
