MANILA, Philippines–Jerom Lastimosa continued to be Adamson’s savior even in the preseason.

“At the end, I didn’t see any open teammates anymore so my mindset was ‘I’m going to take this shot’,” said Lastimosa, who finished with 18 points in the win.

The 24-year-old shooter is not a stranger when it comes to the closing moments of games, taking shots in the clutch for Adamson when needed back in UAAP Season 84.
