00:00Small forward from Alonso Rizal, number 10, Ervin Tolentino.
00:05Shooting guard from Angeles City, Pampanga, number 2, Steven Holt.
00:11Steven Holt, swings it around to Ramos.
00:14Ramos, Aldich, gets it to go.
00:16Right now, the only field goals Terafirma have are from Stretch Bigs, shooting from beyond the arc.
00:22Yes, and those are the kinds of shots that both players would always take.
00:26That's why, you know, it's very hard to play Terafirma because they have a lot of players who can shoot well from the outside.
00:32Ervin Tolentino, now Rosales, Rosales, leaving Kuntapay.
00:37Kuntapay with a little fake, Ramos, can't stay in front, and that was a great move from Kuntapay.
00:43There's a lot of versatility there on the part of the big man.
00:46Not only can he put, you know, can put the ball on the floor, but that spin move got him enough space to launch a shot.
00:52You know, there is opportunity here from Kuntapay.
00:55Of course, he's playing a lot more with Kalma being injured as Isaac.
00:59Goal!
01:00Is he able to score inside and get a bonus opportunity?
01:04Of course, you're expecting a lot from Holt, from Huami, and now if you have Isaac contribute, this is going to be a...
01:11Ervin Tolentino, quiet here to start this ballgame.
01:14Cade Flores likes to drive, goes inside, and Cade Flores is such a great athletic piece here for the Northport Clouds on PR.
01:24So effortful in the way he defends, but it's also a positive force on the offensive end as Stephen Holt gets the bucket of the ball and one.
01:32There's the euro you can find there, and there it is.
01:34Right there.
01:35It's just a small one.
01:37Yeah.
01:38But very effective.
01:40Almost by threes in every possession.
01:42It's either basket and one or a three-point shot.
01:45Here's Chris Rosales working Huami Chomson.
01:47Oh, spins away and scores.
01:50That's a very shifty move.
01:51You know, that pivot move has really been a big weapon for all of these players.
01:57Here's Holt.
01:58Holt, oh my goodness.
02:00Able to sneak in and get in the river.
02:03All of a sudden, Northport are in the lead.
02:06Keeping Northport off the free-throw line.
02:08Beautiful pass here by Sanggalang.
02:11You know, he took it strong to the basket.
02:14He was fearless to just mix it up there.
02:16That time, the referee let him play go.
02:19Tonantina thought that he was fouled.
02:20In fact, still asking for it.
02:21Chomson drives all the way in.
02:23That time, no.
02:24And K-Mark Carino with the follow-up.
02:26There's a lot of blood coming out of the nose of Paul Zamar.
02:29Probably got hit in that last play.
02:33And right now, he's still soldiering on.
02:36Call for the horn set there.
02:38And uses the pick from Lucero.
02:40Zamar going inside, and a floater is good.
02:43He's a true warrior.
02:44I saw blood in his nose.
02:46I saw blood in his elbow.
02:49Let's take a look at the last sequence here.
02:51First off, Chomson's follow-up from Carino, rather.
02:55Zamar attacking, slashing, scoring.
02:58He saw a bit of blood, and he said, game on.
03:02Quick break here.
03:03We'll be right back.
03:04Here's Fran Niu.
03:06Using the big pick there.
03:08Almost switching the D.
03:09Amores with the three.
03:10And Amores!
03:11Oh!
03:12Amores hitting it from the parking lot.
03:16As we take a look at that again.
03:18Gomez-Deleano, there the challenge.
03:20But it didn't matter.
03:22John Amores with a buzzer-beater three.
03:27Now it's Gomez-Deleano to Stephen Holt.
03:29And Fran Niu with the quick hands, like a thief in the night.
03:32Hands it off to Joshua Munzon.
03:34That's the second time I've seen Fran Niu.
03:37That time, the defense holds strong.
03:40Here's Northport, through Arvin Tolentino.
03:43Driving, attacking, and no dice.
03:45Isako, big rebound.
03:47Stephen Holt, two red shirts in front of him.
03:49He finds Wammy Chomson.
03:51Spots up for three.
03:52Chomson gets it, a ball.
03:54That's what you call trust.
03:56On a teammate, and a great point guard,
03:58who did very well to take the ball in the middle.
04:01He went right side because he saw his best shooter,
04:04his co-point guard,
04:06and went for that handoff play.
04:09Great find there to Flores.
04:11Chomson, a failure of communication there.
04:14Even Munzon, they're driving into the lane.
04:17They're getting that separation.
04:19Isako trying to find anyone.
04:21Gives it to Chomson.
04:24What a screen, and what a move from Wammy Chomson.
04:29From England to France,
04:31Wammy Chomson escaping Gabe Flores.
04:35That's what makes it very difficult to defend.
04:39That was a crunching screen there.
04:42It just took Munzon out,
04:44and Chomson gets out of bounds.
04:47He's just finding himself wide open
04:51with those nice moves.
04:53Able to launch his picture-perfect jumpers
04:56from the three-point line.
04:58It's magic time, because Magic Chomson is in the building.
05:03You know, a toss-up between so many teams,
05:07who have a chance?
05:08Bulanadi attacking.
05:09Great defense as ever, K-Mark Carino.
05:11Here's Stephen Holt, feeding Calvo,
05:13and Calvo couldn't finish, but Holt is there!
05:16Wow, Stephen Holt is taking matters into his own hands.
05:19He knows this is take-charge time for him.
05:21K-Mark Carino with a defensive effort,
05:23but Arvin Tolentino finally gets going.
05:26Look at the way how quick Northport went for that fast break.
05:31Very quick, and you see them running the floor well.
05:33It's just a two-point lead here,
05:35though it feels like Northport just having a hard time
05:37scoring when the game slows down.
05:39Here's Terrafirma, and K-Mark Carino
05:42there when it matters the most.
05:44And that's something that Terrafirma's been doing right.
05:46I mean, they're not just allowing and watching
05:48their teammates attack the basket.
05:50They are helping out off the glass.
05:54Arvin Tolentino, Stephen Holt right in front of him.
06:02And that is a great move come from Zé Lucero,
06:05and that's a basket and one,
06:06but you had the entire bench of Terrafirma.
06:09It was a good pivot move.
06:17Well, they will be challenging this,
06:20talking about Terrafirma.
06:22And here's Cade Flores up top,
06:23Isafro right in front of him.
06:25Hand-off here to Arvin Tolentino.
06:27Trying to find Cade Flores.
06:29Beautiful pass there.
06:31So, like I said, I mean, how do you get Tolentino going?
06:34That's one way to get him going,
06:36to get his teammates going,
06:38because he is always like a magnet on defense.
06:41Well, that was basically threading the needle there,
06:44and that was a turnover from Isafro.
06:462-1-1 break here.
06:48Lucero attacking and finishing.
06:51They say defense wins championships.
06:53They could also book you a spot to the playoffs.
06:55That's Andre Tramson.
06:56Another turnover here.
06:57Northport are running.
06:58They're gunning.
06:59This is their game.
07:00And now Arvin Tolentino scores off the glass.
07:04He tracks a double-team.
07:05Is it the Holt?
07:06Holt showing so many different looks here.
07:10Oh, he splashes home a three.
07:12Good force there.
07:13Good force, your hand.
07:15But look at this tough shot.
07:17I mean, Lucero was right there.
07:19Two different generations of colored bayans
07:22right at each other.
07:23Here is Lucero.
07:27Great find. Arvin Tolentino.
07:28Beautiful pass.
07:29I mean, Lucero is making a big difference here.
07:32It's either him passing to Arvin,
07:34or sometimes Arvin passing to Lucero.
07:37Here's Gomez-Alejandro dictating traffic here.
07:39Isafro making sure.
07:41Juami Chongsun gets that ball.
07:43Giving it back to Gomez-Alejandro.
07:45He's had the hot hand.
07:47That time, no good.
07:48Ball pops up to Arvin Tolentino.
07:50Cade Flores right in front of him.
07:52He finds Cade.
07:53Returns it to Tolentino.
07:5414-8 quarter in favor of Northport Batangpierre.
07:58See, Lucero almost comes away with it here.
08:00Isafro feeding Gomez-Alejandro,
08:02who drives, who attacks.
08:04It gives it back to Isafro,
08:05and that time he scores.
08:07That's something to get Terafirma going.
08:10You know, that nice give-and-go plays.
08:13And that's why that's his name.
08:16Isafro with the give-and-go.
08:18Perfect.
08:20Chris Rosales,
08:22using the screen,
08:23finding a way to get open,
08:24and a great feed.
08:27They gotta see the weak side.
08:29It's to really make it come under the basket.
08:33He always sneaks in from behind.
08:35And that's something that, you know,
08:40Arvin Tolentino.
08:41Oh, Holt with a quick hand.
08:44Here's Wammy Chongsun.
08:45Terafirma running this down.
08:46Wammy, little bump.
08:48The fadeaway.
08:49That's good.
08:51I'm really amazed by how Wammy can find his way.
08:55He is able to launch a shot.
08:57Defense to offense.
08:58Holt with the steal.
09:00Wammy, made space.
09:02Jack Jam on the floor.
09:03And Wammy Chongsun.
09:05You know, the intensity
09:07and the importance of this game.
09:09Oh, Paul Samar.
09:10Draining it from the parking lot.
09:13Trying to get free of Samar.
09:14Calvo going inside.
09:16Cannot get the scoop shot to fall.
09:22Amores with the drive and the finish.
09:25Stephen Holt
09:27will wait here with the last possession.
09:29Great find to Isaac Goh.
09:31Isaac gets a 3-4.
09:33What a time for Isaac Goh
09:36to hit that 3.
09:38Paul Samar.
09:41Unable to get that to go with the heave.
09:43And it is a 1-point lead,
09:44courtesy of a 3-pointer from Isaac Goh.
09:47Goh's sword defending him.
09:50Amores finding Munzon.
09:52You can sense the defense has been ramped up.
09:54But it didn't matter to Josh Munzon.
09:57Still getting the shot to fall.
09:59Gino Amores had something similar to that.
10:02Now William Navarro.
10:03Josh Munzon.
10:04Stephen Holt right in front of him.
10:07The drive from Zaeve Lucero.
10:09And good defense to stand there from Isaac Goh.
10:13That is a crunching screen there from Lucero.
10:15Gianna Amores relocates the jumper.
10:17No good.
10:19And the ball falls kindly to William Navarro.
10:22Look at the way Northport has been fighting
10:24for those offensive rebounds.
10:26And issuing those nice, you know, passes underneath.
10:33Gabi Gomez-Deleonio.
10:36Now Isaac Goh.
10:38Isaac finding Gomez-Deleonio wide open.
10:42And that is good.
10:43What a find from Isaac.
10:44Well, they needed that out of three 3-point attempts.
10:47Two from Maui and one from Javi.
10:50You know, they needed to hit that 3.
10:52He hit that, by the way, with messy hair.
10:54He went back on defense and fixed his hair.
10:56That's why he made it.
10:57Because his eyes were covered.
11:00Stephen Holt.
11:02Turnover here.
11:03Finding Gomez-Deleonio.
11:04Gomez-Deleonio.
11:05Little up break.
11:06Nice fake.
11:07That's good composure and control there
11:09on the part of Javi Gomez-Deleonio.
11:11So they can execute their drives through the basket.
11:13How do you think they're doing, Paolo Cochard?
11:15Thank you so much for that.
11:16Of course, the defense always can be a prime issue here
11:18for Coach Bonitan because both teams have actually
11:20been scoring very well here.
11:26And off Stephen Holt.
11:27Agnieszka Healy looking for his first bucket.
11:29No good.
11:31Gomez-Deleonio.
11:33With a short jumper.
11:34Gets the friendly roll.
11:39Now just looking for the right pass.
11:41Stephen Holt.
11:43Gomez-Deleonio pulls up for 3 again.
11:45And Javi Gomez-Deleonio is having a quarter.
11:48For 1.
11:50Stephen Holt.
11:54Pulls up.
11:55Gets that a 4.
11:57And then we've seen also Javi Gomez-Deleonio
11:59stick with like glue.
12:01Speaking of, Arvind Tolentino finding Gabe Flores inside.
12:03Great reverse.
12:04Basket and 1.
12:06Let's take a look at that again.
12:07There's a feed.
12:08And Kmart Carino.
12:10Got him on the head.
12:12Basket and 1.
12:17Arvind Tolentino now.
12:19Gabe Flores in the corner attacking Isaac Goh.
12:22And gets the finish.
12:24He had that strong left forearm there that just cleared out
12:28Isaac Goh.
12:29Well, they're attacking Isaac Goh, you know,
12:31because they know that they want to try to see if Isaac can
12:35laterally defend him.
12:39Stephen Holt.
12:41Used a pick of Isaac Goh instead.
12:44Finding Wammy Chongzon.
12:45Wammy, good line and good shot.
12:47Oh, wow.
12:49You know, sometimes what will make any defender crazy is you
12:57just couldn't figure out who among the three will hit you.
12:59I mean, they would have their moments where, like,
13:02as you said, you know, it's all about those streaks.
13:06And they could run.
13:09Gomez-Deleonio.
13:11Brand-new with a turnover.
13:14Big steal by Brand-new.
13:17Gabe Flores for the easy 2.
13:19And all of a sudden it's a 2-point game.
13:21Wow.
13:22Here's Stephen Holt.
13:24Now Wammy Chongzon.
13:25Brand-new right in front of him.
13:26Brand-new has been a pest.
13:27And that time Wammy Chongzon gets it a go.
13:30That's big right there.
13:32He was able to get that steal.
13:34But right here, you just see that reach in.
13:39Stephen Holt.
13:40Finding Isaac Goh inside.
13:42Pass to the corner.
13:43Kahilik, he'll drive.
13:45It's a tough look at that time.
13:47Oh, big position there.
13:48It is a big offensive rebound.
13:50What a nice break there for Terrapirma.
13:52Kahilik getting the ball back.
13:54Holt.
13:55He attacks.
13:56He goes in.
13:57And he scores and 1!
13:59Oh!
14:01Went downhill.
14:02It's like he gathered steam like a freight train.
14:05And Stephen Holt, nothing could stop him.
14:08It's all about composure there, Paolo.
14:10Yes.
14:16So which means that there's a lot of contribution from the rest of the team.
14:20And that's a big, big achievement on the part of the Terrapirma franchise.
14:25And right now, the time has run out.
