Kobe Paras’ heroics went for naught as Niigata suffered a heartbreaking 75-77 loss at the hands of Mikawa to close out their Week Four B.League campaign, Saturday at the Niigata City East Sports Center.
Down 73-75 with 2.5 ticks left, Paras knocked down a big-time floater to knot things up.
Off a timeout, the Seahorses designed a play for its big man Davante Garner. Garner decided to post up Tshilidzi Nephawe before converting on a sky hook.
With no timeouts left and just 1.3 second remaining, Kimitake Sato threw a 3/4 court prayer that did not even hit rim as the Albirex’s losing streak was extended to five games.
Paras finished with six points on 3-of-9 shooting with five rebounds, two assists, and two steals.
Niigata fell to 2-6 as well while Mikawa went up to 6-2.
Paras and Albirex will next head to Arena Tachikawa Tachihi to face Tokyo on Wednesday at 6:05PM (Manila time).
