The game heated up on the midway of the second half when Arvin Tolentino fouled out after showing unsportsmanlike foul against Sean Manganti.
Falcons cut the lead into one with Jerom Lastimosa's steal and a layup but Prince Orizu reclaim the lead after shooting free throws 80-78 on the scoreboard.
The hope for the Falcons came alive after Simon Camacho shoots the ball and send the game to its first overtime this UAAP season.
