Standhardinger hits buzzer-beater, breaks former team’s heart and helps Ginebra rebound

Christian Standhardinger nailed the buzzer-beating basket against his former team as Barangay Ginebra came from behind to beat NorthPort, 87-85, and barge back into the win column of the 2021 PBA Philippine Cup on Friday night, July 30 at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

After a helter-skelter sequence, Standhardinger caught Stanley Pringle’s missed layup and banked in an off-balanced shot as time expired.

The Kings bounced back from an 89-79 loss to Magnolia in the Manila Clasico last Sunday to improve to 2-2.

Ginebra also proved that it was right in swapping Greg Slaughter for Standhardinger in a controversial one-for-one trade earlier this year. The Batang Pier absorbed their second straight setback and slid to 1-3.
