PUERTO, PRINCESA, Philippines—Globalport scoring sensation Terrence Romeo caught fire late and finished with 18 points to bring home the three-point shootout title in the 2015 PBA All-Star Game.
After a slow start in the final round, the 22-year-old Romeo started connecting on his shots by the fourth rack to finish strong and best veterans James Yap of Purefoods and JC Intal of Barako Bull.
“Five-peat” champion Mark Macapagal ended his reign in the competition after falling short in the first round with just 16 points even as Yap, Romeo, and Intal tallied 18 each.
