San Miguel Alab Pilipinas squandered a chance to close out the Asean Basketball League (ABL) Season 8 championship series as Mono Vampire Basketball Club pulled off an 88-83 victory behind Paul Zamar’s go-ahead basket on Monday at the Stadium 29 in Bangkok, Thailand. Filipino guard Zamar hit a dagger floater with 18 seconds left to secure the series-tying win, allowing the Vampires to force a winner-take-all Game Five. Jason Brickmann also tallied a double-double as the Fil-Am playmaker finished with 13 points and 10 assists even as Zamar added 11 markers, five dimes and four rebounds. Back-to-back Local Most Valuable Player Ray Parks Jr. drilled in a game-high 21 points, eight rebounds and five assists to lead Alab Pilipinas. World Imports Renaldo Balkman and Justin Brownlee scored 18 markers apiece to go with a combined 26 boards in the loss.
