THE Three Sixty Pharmacy-Online nipped BNK Auto Shop, 89-88, Thursday night in the Inter-Merchant-2012 basketball tournament at the Pope John gym in Mabolo, Cebu City.

The Pharmacians then whipped up a furious, 31-14 storm in the 3rd period to grab a, 67-60 lead going to the final quarter where the two protagonists engaged in an air-tight battle resulting in an, 88-all tie with 13 seconds remaining. In the return play, BNK fouled a driving Christian Fajardo that sent him to the stripe where he sank one of his two freethrows for Three Sixty Pharmacy’s one-point win.
