Xavier Munford's composure from the foul line at the death has steered South East Melbourne Phoenix to a pulsating 88-87 win over the Illawarra Hawks and to second position on the NBL ladder.
With his side trailing 87-86, Munford, who returned a game-high 24 points, was fouled by Hawks sixth-man Xavier Rathan-Mayes while launching a three-point prayer with 1.3 seconds remaining in Wollongong on Monday night.
