Slaughter calmly buried the go-ahead freebies with 4.1 seconds left off a foul by Noy Baclao before Vic Manuel and JVee Casio missed potential game winners for the Aces as time ran out.
The 7-foot Slaughter put up big numbers anew and this time his 27-point, 19-rebound effort didn’t go to waste with the Kings picking up their first win under head coach Tim Cone after opening the season with a couple of embarrassing losses to Star and Barako Bull.
The Aces trailed by 19 at the half before finding their way back behind Calvin Abueva and even taking a 92-91 edge following a tough basket by Vic Manuel with only 14.9 ticks to go.
Alaska absorbed its first loss after winning its first three assignments including a victory over Mahindra less than 24 hours ago also at the same venue.
Slaughter went 15-of-17 from the free throw line as he and Japeth Aguilar made use of their size advantage against Alaska’s solid but smaller frontline.
Aguilar also recorded a double-double with 23 points and 12 rebounds.
