MANILA, Philippines–Jerom Lastimosa flung a three-pointer from way out in the final 23 seconds as Adamson squeaked past University of the Philippines, 66-58, extending its winning streak to three and making a strong case for the last spot in the UAAP Season 84 men’s basketball Thursday at Mall of Asia Arena.

In snapping the Maroons’ eight-game winning run, the Falcons shook up the standings and created a logjam for the fourth spot with National University and Far Eastern University at 4-6.

Lastimosa’s triple, which gave the Falcons a 62-57 buffer, typified the endgame finesse Adamson seemed to have developed over the past three games. He finished with 13 points.
