Up 3-2 in the best-of-seven series, the Sakers had a golden opportunity to complete a sweep after racing to a commanding 3-0 lead. But they have since stumbled, losing back-to-back games—including a stunning 86-56 blowout last Tuesday that breathed life into the Knights’ title hopes.
Tamayo, one of the few international standouts in the KBL Finals, quietly chipped in eight points, six rebounds, and three assists in the Game 5 loss.
Now, the former UP Fighting Maroon will try to help LG regroup and capitalize on their home court as they look to avoid a decider.
For LG, the pressure is mounting to finish what they started. But with the SK Knights surging and momentum clearly shifting, Tamayo and the Sakers must deliver a more composed and complete performance if they are to finally lift the KBL championship trophy.
