Valencia 52, Magnolia 51-- Friday night's battle
between Magnolia and Valencia for sole possession of third place may have been the
league's game of
the year. It took a disputed buzzer-beater in overtime from Valencia's Eric Dixon
for the visiting Tigers to pull off a dramatic 52-51 victory. In the final 12
seconds of the overtime period Valencia got off four shots, including Dixon's desperation
put-back that didn't appear to leave his hand until after the
scoreboard showed no time remained. But as the Tigers celebrated and Sentinels
pleaded, the referees, who might not have heard the final buzzer, went to the scorers
table where they held a long discussion before letting the basket stand. Magnolia
Coach Al Walin contended that the basket was not good and said he couldn't wait to see
videotape. After a horrible nonleague start, Valencia, which defeated Magnolia,
49-43, in the first round of play, improved its record to 8-15, 5-3 in league. The
Sentinels are 12-12, 4-4. Magnolia, which got 19 points and nine rebounds from Faoa,
led by
as many as seven points in the second half. But Valencia rode the shooting of Emanuel
Ortega (23 points), who made seven three-pointers, and the last-second heroics of Dixon
(10 points, nine rebounds) to victory. Ortega's NBA-range three-pointer with 16
seconds left in regulation gave Valencia a 46-44 lead, but Faoa tied the score with a
six-foot baseline jumper with 1.7 seconds left to force overtime. Another baseline
jumper by Faoa, after a sharp cross-court pass from around the half-court line by Geoffrey
Clayton (16 points), gave the Sentinels a 52-49 lead with 1:22 remaining in overtime.
Alex Aguirre got the Tigers within a point 27 seconds later with a basket and then it all
came down to the final 12 seconds.
