Khobuntin rises from being a 2-way player

And fittingly, the Tropang Giga which play like a swiss army knife, proved to be the dagger to the hearts of the Barangay Ginebra Kings.

Khobuntin delivered the crucial hits in the final frame and in overtime period on top of being the primary defender to Justin Brownlee who he helped force to commit two crucial turnovers down the stretch, right after the resident Ginebra import buried the clutch trey that sent the game to an extra period.
