00:00 So this is also a small lineup here for coach Luigi Trillo with Bankero, Haram and Newsome playing all together.
00:10 Newsome, pocket pass, stolen by Pringle. They've got numbers, they go wide. Tenorio.
00:22 They go inside. Sistan ties things up. And that means doubling the effort on the rebounds and transition baskets as well.
00:30 In coach Richard's words, we need to anticipate the medal, who will come in more physical in this game.
00:34 So we cannot be reactive. We need to stay composed and not lose our focus.
00:38 He was 2 for 8 in game 4, now 0 for 3. So the struggles continue here for Newsome.
00:45 Tenorio with a floater. Just a smart play there for Tenorio.
00:52 He knew that Mivalko would close out long because of his ability to take the 3 point shot.
00:58 So he puts the ball on the floor and hits that little floater.
01:01 He talked about the importance of getting off to a very good start and Bankero nails that 3, cuts that lead down to just 1.
01:10 He's part of the game plan of Mivalko. They even sent Anju Paramp here to start this game to defend against Elie Tenorio.
01:18 What a move there from Stanley Pringle. We're going to see that in the highlights for days to come.
01:25 Almazan can hit that and does.
01:34 Coming from Stanley Pringle. This was vintage Stanley Pringle with the way he put the ball on the floor with that aggressive drive.
01:40 What Maliksi can do in game 2 and 3, he was the focal point of the Mivalko offense.
01:45 Bates tries to go inside. Gets 2. Those are bonus points here for the Bulls.
01:52 Talking to Paulo Trilli earlier this season, he was very high on the fact that they were able to get Bates.
01:57 And he says he's somebody that we can actually really utilize.
02:02 Inside! Drop it! Big slam!
02:06 What's Bates' height?
02:11 He's supposed to be 6'9". Didn't look like he was 6'9" in that instance.
02:16 Wow!
02:18 We got to see that again in a bit. But look at this. Anju Karam will score.
02:24 He's keeping Elie Tenorio honest also in the defensive end.
02:28 Anju Karam, I've been a big fan of him ever since he went here to Mivalko because he doesn't need the minutes.
02:36 But every time you call his name, he produces.
02:39 Get out of my way!
02:45 Pringle, nice lob inside.
02:50 Drop it! Will misfire.
02:53 Baby hook works!
02:57 Will misfire. Han Missy has also checked in.
03:00 Bon Quinto on the other end has come in.
03:03 Coach Tim Koon is using Koo here as a stretch for.
03:07 Most of the conference, he used Koo in the wings as a small forward.
03:14 But now he's using him as a stretch for so that there is always a lot of outside shooting here for Barangay Inebra on the floor.
03:25 That's going to drop there for Sistan.
03:27 And that's the space that is created because you're surrounding Christian with four good outside shooters here.
03:35 Bankero inside with a floater. Works!
03:39 Usa once again. Back.
03:46 Looking for a shot early.
03:49 And as you mentioned a while ago.
03:52 He goes isolation against Maverick Han Missy who is shorter.
03:56 And he has an advantage as well in terms of athleticism.
04:00 There will be days that you deliver for the team and some where you don't put up your usual numbers.
04:05 For Japeth, whatever the circumstance, it does not change the focus that he has to stick to his role.
04:10 As we can see there, scoring once again is Newsome to bring his squad to within one.
04:14 Here's now with five points in the contest.
04:20 Scoring there is Nards Pinto.
04:22 That's where Diego Davao really struggles when he's defending bigger guards and stronger guards like Nards Pinto.
04:31 Minute gone here in quarter number two.
04:36 Dario.
04:38 It's close to launching. Here is Quinto.
04:41 Falling away. Money.
04:43 On LA.
04:46 And Scottie gets his first rest of the game.
04:50 Maverick will overshoot.
04:51 Big slam there from Japeth off that offensive rebound.
04:55 If they're going to play Ralf at the four, you need to make them pay by getting a lot of offensive rebounds and putbacks.
05:02 Nice play though.
05:03 That was a breakdown in defense for the Bolts.
05:07 Look at this.
05:09 Marangay Nebra all spread out. Look the defense of Peralco spread out as well.
05:14 Nobody inside the paint in the defense because of the outside shooting that they have.
05:19 Bankera will have to bring it out.
05:20 Karam long two.
05:25 Money.
05:27 And you gotta love the awareness of the shot clock there from Andrew Karam.
05:34 He knew he still had that one fake and one dribble to get that shot off.
05:39 Got it off just in the nick of time.
05:42 Cutting that lead down to two.
05:43 Getting into the passing lanes.
05:47 Dodge.
05:48 Newsome left wide open. Bang!
05:53 We thought Marangay Nebra was controlling this game.
05:57 Five straight points here for Peralco gives them a one.
06:01 Bankero. Wow. What rotation there.
06:10 I was going to say.
06:11 Now a four point advantage is their biggest lead of the ball game.
06:16 Chris Bankero quietly with eight points in the game.
06:19 What a block there from Scotty Thompson.
06:22 Wow.
06:26 Shot clock is now down to six.
06:29 Does Bankero realize it?
06:31 Puts up a quick one and hits.
06:36 Off the switch.
06:41 Here's Stan Hardinger. He does his best to defend.
06:45 Chris Bankero he does a good job defending it.
06:47 Now they'll set up in the half court.
06:54 Bankero will launch and hit.
06:56 Register now for free.
06:59 Under two minutes to be played.
07:02 There is Bates once again.
07:05 That's what he does.
07:07 And that is going to give them another chance for a basket and they get three points.
07:12 And again that is the reason why I was upset when he did not take the earlier open three.
07:17 He is on fire. Chris Bankero.
07:20 Now Bates has held his own here against C-Stan.
07:28 Falling away. Stan Hardinger scores.
07:32 Thompson looking for space.
07:41 Pinto for three.
07:42 And he promptly goes straight to the basket and gets fouled.
07:52 For Alain Maliksy coming off that screen.
07:56 Good curl here from Maliksy and he is...
07:59 He has length.
08:01 Got him inside the lane.
08:07 Wow. Flows up a thrower.
08:09 Hashtag NBA on Signal.
08:22 Right now everybody is focused on the PBA playoffs though.
08:26 Maliksy scores.
08:28 Nice pocket pass.
08:35 Hodge gets away for two.
08:37 That does not happen if there was no good screen.
08:41 He got Pringle on the money there with Hodge.
08:44 You go to the wing. Bankero.
08:51 Finds Hodge. Hodge gets away with another layup.
08:55 It's the same play.
08:57 It's the same play. Hodge.
09:01 Bankero will come up short.
09:02 C-Stan all by his lonesome.
09:05 That's too easy.
09:07 And after a quick shot and miss by Bankero.
09:12 C-Stan.
09:14 That's a walk in the park.
09:16 Back to the action now as Jaffa picks himself up.
09:20 Jaimesy in the ballgame.
09:22 And he's got it.
09:24 And he's got it.
09:27 Jaffa picks himself up.
09:28 Jaimesy in the ballgame.
09:30 Maverick with the layup.
09:32 That'll stay down.
09:34 Jaimesy using that blush screen coming from Alguilar.
09:39 Getting a little bit of an advantage there against Chris Newsome and Maverick.
09:44 The Bulls looking for another quality shot.
09:51 Maliksy is going to get away here.
09:53 Up and under move works.
09:56 He's such a smooth offensive operator, Alain Maliksy.
10:00 This time doesn't settle for the three.
10:03 Puts the ball in the floor and then a wonderful finish by Alain.
10:06 Kru kicks it out.
10:08 Maverick.
10:10 C-Stan from 15 feet.
10:13 Bankero with a running start.
10:17 The floater not going to work.
10:19 Hodge.
10:21 Could've knocked that one down.
10:24 It's here with Maverick.
10:25 He keeps it.
10:27 Goes all the way.
10:29 Watch it once again here.
10:32 He wasn't going to pass that opportunity up.
10:35 Minute.
10:37 They can't get the angle of the pass.
10:43 Now they do.
10:45 Excellent high-low play there.
10:51 Almazan to Hodge and suddenly Hodge, he has...
10:55 10 points I believe in this quarter alone.
11:01 That is right.
11:03 Total of 12.
11:06 A little bit too strong.
11:08 That's saved to the wrong individual.
11:11 Morel will give it up.
11:14 Clock-wise down.
11:16 That's a big three there from Tenorio.
11:19 Don't...
11:20 Siris is tied at two apiece.
11:31 C-Stan might have to put this one up.
11:36 That's a perfect pass.
11:39 And we are tied at 69.
11:42 Fairly strong.
11:44 Hodge.
11:48 Check that. That's Newsome there.
11:49 Who had C-Stan on a string.
11:52 I love that.
11:54 You needed points, you go to your best player
11:57 and Chris Newsome delivers from Heraldo.
12:00 Tenorio with the floater.
12:06 Answers right back.
12:08 The ageless wonder, L.A. Tenorio
12:13 ties this game up again.
12:15 Hodge kicks it out.
12:16 Almazan for three short.
12:18 Hodge with the offensive rebound.
12:20 Quinto for three. Bang!
12:22 Players just standing at their own spots
12:25 but instead making that conscious effort
12:27 defensively and more so
12:29 focusing to locate Meralco's shooters better.
12:31 Gentlemen, back to you.
12:33 Once again, they give up an offensive rebound
12:35 and one of the shooters they're supposed to locate.
12:38 Maliksi takes it straight to the back of the net.
12:40 And that's a shot.
12:43 He's looking. Maliksi takes it strong to the basket.
12:45 Here for Meralco.
12:47 Earlier on they got the three point play
12:49 of an offensive rebound, a three point shot.
12:51 Right here they get the three point play.
12:53 Extra pass. Scottie for three.
12:57 Overshoots.
12:59 Maverick for three. Bang!
13:03 So he never returns the favor.
13:06 As we enter the final seven minutes of this one.
13:12 Critical game number five.
13:13 C-Stan will bring it closer from 14 feet.
13:16 Pringle will kick it out. Scottie for three.
13:23 Offensive rebound here for C-Stan.
13:26 Pringle to Stan Hardinger.
13:30 Gets another one.
13:32 He's back in the game to defend against Christian Stan Hardinger.
13:36 That is the reason why he is there.
13:38 But he is playing with five fouls.
13:41 Oh!
13:42 Is he the medium range god?
13:45 Might have been a traveling violation.
13:49 Let go.
13:51 Hodge gets away for two inside.
13:54 They repost.
13:58 Stan Hardinger.
14:00 Forcing the issue.
14:02 Tapet with the offensive rebound.
14:04 Under three and a half to be played in game number five.
14:10 Pringle extra pass. Thompson for three.
14:12 That's big.
14:14 So you missed the whole game long.
14:19 But when it counts the most,
14:21 in the fourth quarter, deep in the fourth quarter,
14:24 Scottie is nothing but death.
14:26 And that's why he's the MVP.
14:28 Three point lead here for the Gin Kings.
14:32 From 14 feet.
14:36 Stan Hardinger once again from medium range.
14:39 And that's going to be it.
14:40 That was already a two possession ball game at that stage.
14:43 But this is what Never Say Die is all about.
14:46 [crowd cheering]
14:48 [crowd cheering]
14:50 But this is what this is what Never Say Die is all about.
