Fourteen-year veteran and two-time MVP Danny Ildefonso turned back the hands of time as he powered the Petron Blaze Boosters to a shocking 89-88 victory over the heavily favored and grand-slam seeking Talk N Text Tropang Texters in the opener of the best-of-seven PBA Governors Cup championship series. The 34-year-old former National University Bulldogs stalwart scattered the final four points for the Blazers including the winning jumpshot at the buzzer. It was an exciting, wild and woolly windup which left the crowd at the big dome in a euphoric state after the final buzzer. Ildefonso, who finished with 13 points, says it feels great with his first ever buzzer-beater in his checkered pro career and gracefully thanked the Lord for the nail-biting win.
“It was the first time in my career that I made a buzzer-beating winning shot. I was so happy it happened in this game – the start of a finals where we’re the decided underdogs. God is so good. We’re not here if not for Him. Siya na ang nag-shoot noon (God made that shot).”
