Late in the fourth quarter, an undergoal stab from Peter Paul Ortaliz gave Royal an 84-83 lead, but Trading got back the advantage on Julius Teruel’s twinner.

Ortaliz added another layup to recapture the lead, but again, Teruel hit a point blank undergoal shot coming from a nifty pass by a double teamed Robbie Jalando-on for an 87-86 lead with 26 seconds left.

Royal Star moved the ball around and found deadshot Michael Ang open in the three-point area, but his triple missed its mark with .4 second left in the game.

Jalando-on made the first free throw and intentionally missed the second attempt as time expired.
