MANILA, Philippines—Junior Powerade ended its campaign on a winning note following a pulsating 87-79 overtime win over RnW Pacific Pipes Tuesday in the 2012 PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the humid San Juan Gym.

Alvin Padilla flourished with 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists, including a lob pass to Claude Cubo that forged extra session with both teams knotted at 72.

“Before the game we talked about not going out with a whimper. We wanted to end it on a bright note with a win and we knew we could beat RnW,” said JR Powerade head coach Ricky Dandan.

Padilla scored seven points in overtime, where JR Powerade outscored Pacific Pipes, 15-7.
