00:00I don't think it's a sustainable thing for Magnolia to put Sanggalang McFardo, his offense
00:08will also suffer.
00:09What about Russell Escoto who has actually started to round back into the form that made
00:13him one of the top prospects when he entered the league?
00:16Well Russell unfortunately went through some injuries but he's a guy who can spread the
00:22floor and hit some outside shots, he can be a stretch four for this Magnolia team.
00:28Rodney Blondiel, not really known for that three point shot but you're going to have
00:33a lot of open looks when you're playing with Junmar Fajardo, good drive there from Paul Lee.
00:39Blondiel says you're going to give me that much space, I'm going to take a couple of
00:42shots here and there.
00:44Especially in the beginning of games, I don't expect Blondiel to take that in a crucial situation.
00:51Ross puts up a three, bang!
00:54Small effort there coming from Avis Junisio, because he hustled back on defense, he prevented the layup.
01:05It's going to drop there to Junmar CJ Perez with the open court.
01:09That's just too easy, when he saw Mark Baroga his eyes just went wide open.
01:14Blondiel will give it up, they're going to set things up here.
01:18CJ, nice flip inside.
01:23They have some depth there at the guard line but that will mean Paul Lee playing a lot of minutes at the point.
01:32Look at that ball movement, they go quickly inside.
01:37A little bit too strong, trying to kiss it off the glass.
01:40Baroga will try to run.
01:42Nice look inside, Laput delivers.
01:45Junisio, back to Baroga, Paul Lee wide open.
01:50He'll misfire that time though.
01:51Junisio, sanggalang!
01:53Well check that, that's Avis Junisio with the putback.
02:00Well they're scrapping, trying to get whatever they possibly can here.
02:06Nice sidestepping move, that's too easy for CJ.
02:12Macedo will fire.
02:14He'll misfire, but here is Big Mo inside.
02:17Mo Tatu has also...
02:19They can start for any team.
02:21If they can, Sanggalango is going to get away.
02:29Tatu being a little gun shy here.
02:31Not even want to get into the paint or bang bodies.
02:34Junmar with a putback.
02:38Anybody back from the injured list will definitely help from either squad.
02:45Coaches never want to have a...
02:47Face a double team, finds Junmar.
02:51Big Mo can hit this shot from the outside and does!
02:55Now that is...
02:57That can be foundations for other squads.
02:59Absolutely.
03:01And they have learned to adapt to their roles.
03:06Terrence Romeo, very difficult first quarter plus here for Magnolia.
03:15Marcio, left wide open in the corner.
03:18Tokli once again.
03:20You cannot leave Marcio Laster open, Tokli.
03:24He's going to make more than 50% of those shots.
03:30I think it's a given.
03:34It's just a matter of time.
03:36Mendoza is another one of those guys who can light it up from the outside.
03:39Hits here.
03:40It's going to drop there for Jericho Cruz.
03:51Magnolia not doing themselves any favors here.
03:54Both are missing those free throws.
03:56They've dug themselves into this hole by missing some makeable shots.
04:03Paul Lee looking for space.
04:07Trotter, will Trotter challenge?
04:10Well...
04:13Bounce pass goes to the wrong individual.
04:16It's a 3-on-2 break, CJ Perez.
04:18Sidestepping move, up and under shot.
04:21Watch it here.
04:23The evolution.
04:25That best move of the game is brought to you by Honda.
04:28The official motorcycle.
04:30But he's just such a potent scorer, so you understand why he doesn't want to give it up.
04:35Jericho will kiss it off the glass.
04:36Baroca to the wing.
04:38Wide open Lee.
04:40He'll bring it closer.
04:42That's a difficult shot.
04:48To the wing once again.
04:51Some shots that they will normally make.
04:54This one, Paul Lee using his experience.
04:57Throwing the foul.
04:59And then, miracle shot here coming from Paul Lee.
05:02Yes, it was a miracle shot.
05:03Yes, it was a miracle shot.
05:05And this backcourt will shoulder a lot more.
05:08In this game, because of the absence of Gio Jalalo and Baroca and Paul Lee.
05:12But Trolliano starting to heat up.
05:15Only 2 points so far here for the Kraken.
05:18He'll find Junishio.
05:20He'll go inside.
05:22Nice basket from Ian.
05:25And nobody in the league is better than Ian Sangalang in operating along that baseline.
05:30That is why he is a very high field goal percentage scorer.
05:38Once again, Terrence.
05:41And still with a hefty lead.
05:43Paul Lee from deep.
05:46That's like a layup for Paul Lee.
05:50And that's, to me, that's the only formula they win this game.
05:53They should hit a high volume of 3-point attempts here.
05:59And you gotta put a stop to CJ Perez somehow.
06:03Don't ask me how.
06:05I invite you to be part of the coaching staff.
06:08That's right.
06:10I'll have another job.
06:12Look at him just go there.
06:14That is right.
06:19Wide open, Junishio.
06:21All day to shoot.
06:24You have to be in possession.
06:26Their lead has been cut down to 13.
06:29Now they go inside.
06:32Bahardo.
06:34Now flexing his muscles.
06:36Ross gets it in bounds.
06:38A lot of time still in their shot clock.
06:40Marshall hits the deck.
06:42Ross, left wide open.
06:44Bang!
06:47Because he has a better shot right now.
06:50And he's very smart in doing pick and roll opportunities.
06:55Junishio gets away there.
06:57Junmar.
06:59Finds Brundial.
07:01Brundial flips it up and through.
07:06If you can be a good cutter,
07:09when Junmar Bahardo has that ball,
07:11you're gonna get a lot of baskets like that.
07:14Oh, and Christos is hurt.
07:17He got hit.
07:27I just love the way this guy plays.
07:31DJ Perez is gonna lose it.
07:35And Barroca's gonna score.
07:37Only a minute gone here in the second half.
07:42Barroca with the jumper.
07:44Straight and true.
07:46I like that.
07:48Mark Barroca needs to be aggressive with this game
07:51because he had only two points in the first half.
07:53They throw it quickly in to Junmar.
08:00Marshall looks for space and switches that one.
08:04When they had miscues on the defensive end,
08:07so expect this to be the focal point
08:09for improvement for San Miguel.
08:11And in the next two quarters,
08:13Coach George Gallant reminded his players
08:15to be more disciplined.
08:16There it is to Marshall.
08:18Marshall will launch.
08:20Why not?
08:23What a weapon.
08:25Catch and shoot three
08:27on semi-transition with a hand in his face.
08:30Nothing Mark Barroca can do about that.
08:33Already with 12 points.
08:35And Gallant gets away inside.
08:41They've brought it down to eight.
08:42That's a nice move there.
08:44Very patient move from Brundial.
08:47Two-man game.
08:49Brundial goes out to help.
08:51CJ Perez
08:53will flip it up and through
08:55with CJ.
09:00Mendoza, that's a nice find.
09:02San Gallant gets away
09:04and a basket and one opportunity.
09:06And a basket and one opportunity.
09:08And a basket and one opportunity.
09:10And a basket and one opportunity.
09:15Well, there's no spacing right now.
09:17That was clearly off him.
09:19Yes.
09:21You look for Manuel.
09:23Almost got away there with a spin.
09:25Three-pointer drops there for Mo.
09:30Nice setup.
09:32De La Rosa kicks it out.
09:34Janiccio for three.
09:36Bang!
09:37What about Alice Janiccio?
09:39Very quietly
09:41with 17 points now in the game.
09:45CJ Perez getting ready to check in.
09:49Jericho says.
09:51I think you're forgetting him.
09:53Because he has missed a lot of games.
09:55Not as aggressive as we know him to be.
09:58But in that last play,
10:00that is the Jericho Cruz that we saw
10:02playing in the field.
10:04They want to get the victory tonight.
10:05They can't just match.
10:07They need to surpass the Beermans' intensity.
10:09So heading into the fourth quarter,
10:11Cochito urged the hotshots to be more patient
10:13with below 100 points.
10:15So we'll see if they'll be able to do that tonight
10:17and hand them their first loss this conference.
10:19For now, back to the panel.
10:33Here it is, Friday night.
10:36Big shot there
10:38from Mendoza.
10:40I don't know how you stay away from your sixth
10:43with Junmar applying this much pressure on you.
10:46And he just quietly kisses it off the glass.
10:52Leads back up to five.
10:55And who will check in?
10:57That's Junmar's first field goal of the second half.
11:03De La Rosa inside.
11:05Oh!
11:07But a foul's going to be called on Junmar.
11:15Zagalang looks inside.
11:17Jonesha gets away for two.
11:24Ross is going to take this three
11:26and nail it.
11:28He's got three threes in a ballgame.
11:30A lot of teams still let Chris Ross
11:32take those open threes
11:34because you don't want to give up
11:36that penetration to CJ Perez.
11:38But he has made a lot of teams pay
11:40with his three-point shooting.
11:44Paul Lee tries to answer back
11:46and he does.
11:48Here.
11:50First it was Paul Lee.
11:52Look at that screen.
11:54Motautua was not even in that picture
11:56and that was Paul Lee wide open.
11:58Inside.
12:00That's going to miss.
12:03It's a three-and-one break.
12:05It's Barocca.
12:09Wide open for that three
12:11and then after a missed basket,
12:13Mark Barocca
12:15to cut his lead down to two points.
12:20Marsha back in the ballgame.
12:22Looked like Jericho was a little hesitant
12:24to shoot those three.
12:25Another one here
12:27from Chris Ross.
12:29For three
12:31of the game here for Chris Ross
12:33and he's making
12:35Magnolia pay.
12:37But that's their game plan.
12:39They're double-teaming Junmar
12:41and letting Chris Ross take the three.
12:43Ah, it's Junnisho.
12:45Barocca falling away.
12:47That would have tied things up.
12:49Ross
12:51in the open court will challenge.
12:53Gets denied.
12:56CJ Perez says
12:58this is how to do it.
13:02Well, he's
13:04limited opportunities because of the amount
13:06of double teams that he has seen in this game.
13:08CJ inside.
13:12You're going to get the ball from him.
13:14Here's Junmar serving the floor once again
13:16and when CJ Perez
13:18gets the ball that close
13:20it's going to be a problem for Magnolia.
13:22He's got five personal fouls though
13:23so he's
13:25playing on borrowed time here.
13:28Ian.
13:30The flip will drop.
13:32Paul Lee or to Barocca.
13:34Almost a steal.
13:36Paul Lee left open.
13:38Overshoots.
13:41Didn't hit the shot clock.
13:43Is still winding.
13:46And Laput will deliver two points.
13:49But the shot clock is winding down.
13:51Now they have to double.
13:54Poor.
13:56Poor recognition.
13:58If you force him to give it out
14:00the shot clock expires.
14:02Or Chad Miguel would have been
14:04would have had one second
14:06couple of seconds left.
14:08Three seconds left in the clock.
14:10And Junmar
14:12he's by it.
14:14He recognizes that
14:16and goes to the reverse.
14:18Ross will have to take this one.
14:20And he makes another one.
14:22That's number five.
14:24He might just be
14:26today's best player of the ball game.
14:31This time it's CJ.
14:33They challenge.
14:35And he delivers as well.
14:38Balanza will try to.
14:40Because as you said
14:42it might go into the cushion.
14:44I don't.
14:45I don't think anybody's
14:47tying Chad Miguel's cushion.
