For the first time in basketball history, the 4-point shot was used in the Governor’s Cup basketball game in the Philippines, in which the Meralco Bolts beat the Magnolia Hotshots 99:94.
A historic moment for basketball happened at the beginning of the second quarter. “Meralcos” player Chris Banchero used the first four-point shot in the match.
The four-point shooting rule was introduced for this tournament. A special 4-point line is drawn on the field, which follows the three-point line.
