Ateneo wins Nike Summer League

The Ateneo Blue Eagles relied on the sweet shooting of veteran Chris Tiu to beat UE, 65-64, in the Nike Summer League Finals.

The fifth-year senior Tiu drilled the gamewinner from 18 feet. It was a perfectly executed play anchored on a Rabeh Al-Hussaini screen and a pinpoint pass from Bacon Austria. UE still had the chance to win but Paul Lee airballed his shot as the final buzzer sounded.

Great comeback for the Eagles as they were down most of the way. This should provide them momentum as the UAAP season starts in a few weeks.
