00:00 Players are ready, the fans are ready, we are ready as well and this De'Bob is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
00:08 Vince, there's not a lot of adjustments to be made if you're coming from the Milano side because you were right there, you were in prime position to win game number two.
00:19 So very close, I mean they just need to take a little bit better care of the ball. Of course, easier said than done, this tremendous San Miguel defense is stifling.
00:29 Good pass, Raymond Almazani misses, but he gets the ball back, the second effort is good. And that has been the story of Raymond Almazani.
00:36 So you also get to wonder, I mean where does Dumar get the energy in defending with big after big being sent his way by the Miralco defense?
00:46 Inside the shaded area for Miralco, four free throws for the San Miguel Beerman to level the score.
00:52 Quinto on the attack, that short jumper trickles in and you should see this as a great sign for the offense of Miralco because they are getting into that paint.
01:02 Yeah, and that's a spot pretty much where he hit that almost great shot for the go ahead in the last game.
01:15 9.5 remaining here in the first quarter, Kyle Pasqual, oh that is a good contribution immediately coming off the bench.
01:22 Huge, again a guy who got 3 minutes and 51 seconds in the last game, less than a minute here, he's already got two points.
01:30 Any basket that will be coming from your bench, especially from a bench big, crucial to the boss for Miralco.
01:40 Anything to also spread out the floor a little bit more, because if you can get those mid-range shots from Pasqual, that means the bigs have to step out.
01:50 Another stop here for Miralco, Quinto has the basketball, he's on the attack, Quinto absorbs the contact, misses.
01:57 But they will lose this basketball to CJ Perez on the steal.
02:02 Oh, that really tough play by Marshall Esther right there, winning very strong to get that steal.
02:09 Ross did not catch it clean, now they're looking for Fajardo at the post.
02:12 CJ goes on the drive, that sneaky layup is good with a foul on Pasqual.
02:18 This one, just taking it much further, the defense.
02:24 CJ with the speed advantage against Quinto, he uses the Brondial screen, gets some space, but he had to give the ball up.
02:31 Jumar with the pivot, one-hander is Mane for the Kraken.
02:37 Wow, four and a half assists, he's playing great basketball, he's got to work on those free throws.
02:42 Good pass, Brondial with a fake, oh he's met by the defense on the help coming from Pasqual.
02:48 What a tight pass, that's Quinto, they set up an end.
02:51 Absolutely threaded the needle, what a pass to Quinto.
02:56 Was one of the points of improvement coming from Miralco, heading into this ballgame, they need to start running again.
03:04 When you have an ace playmaker like Cristo.
03:07 Simon and Ciso, a guy who doesn't get a lot of notoriety, he can fill it up as well.
03:11 Well defended shot, but it is down for Don Troiano.
03:15 Defensively, if you're Miralco, you're liking where you are right now.
03:19 CJ on the attack and Ciso swings it, Jericho on the move, great attack coming from Jericho as he banks it home.
03:27 That's a lot of strength right there, Jericho just moved the defender away.
03:33 Quinto momentarily opening, converts from downtown.
03:36 That's just great basketball, Jansen Rios, a guy who gave him quite a lift in the last game as well.
03:44 Almazan with a big time size advantage, and he scores over the defense of the much smaller defender.
03:51 Raymond's got his confidence up, again a guy who really didn't score at all in the last game, looking for a shot.
03:57 Jericho, three point shot, no good, Almazan loses to Rivaldo Troiano.
04:02 As SMB will get another crack at it here, and Ciso to Tautua, settles for the three, that's good!
04:09 The guy you least expect to hit an outside three, especially with this lineup, drains it, Mo Tautua.
04:18 Those are painful points to give up, because that would have been a completed stop already.
04:23 If Raymond Almazan hung on to the rebound, Hodge, the looper is money!
04:31 And Troiano, who will score more threes, Malik Sierra Lassiter, that will be the question as Troiano scores.
04:36 With a layup, watch the 48th season of the PBA Philippine Cup live in HG anytime, anywhere.
04:40 From the baseline, no good, another offensive rebound for Miralco.
04:44 Alleyne, straight away, three is good!
04:47 I always say you can't keep a good man down for too long.
04:52 Game number two, Dallas Mavericks will be on the road once again, versus the Boston Celtics.
04:59 What a pass, left hand, good for Raymond Almazan.
05:02 Cruz likes those kind of shots, let's look at this move once again.
05:06 Up and under from Alayne Maliksi, dumps it off to rock and roll!
05:11 Rock and lefty.
05:13 That shot was taken a little bit early, because they wanted a two for one, as he coming from Cruz.
05:19 But he had the door slammed shut by Almazan.
05:22 Mo will drive and lay it up and in!
05:26 We begin the second quarter of action with Mo Tautua still punishing the defense inside.
05:32 And Cicero to Jericho, they dump it inside to Mo against Almazan.
05:37 Tautua, banging, Tautua with the left hand as well!
05:43 Mo is going to work!
05:45 One more crack at it for Miralco, CB, oh cobbled up by the defense,
05:53 CB, oh cobbled up by the defense of Junmar.
05:56 That's a tough call, if you're going to make a charge or a block call there,
06:02 Junmar kind of went straight up as Jericho Cruz, the defensive stops they want.
06:08 Miralco having a tough time putting the ball in the hole, but Jericho Cruz is not.
06:14 I was going to say, I'll carry your bags for you.
06:18 Bonquito with the one-hander to tie the contest and new, at 34 apiece, he has 12 points,
06:24 will give themselves another opportunity to reclaim the lead.
06:28 Geron launches from downtown, it's good!
06:31 He is playing with so much confidence, really giving his team a lift.
06:37 He knows what he can do and he is working hard.
06:41 Has never been the type to be gun shy, again they're sitting on this zone defense,
06:46 daring Miralco to shoot from the outside.
06:48 That will be a foul, oh!
06:51 That might be an end one.
06:53 Move, let's see, boom, yeah I think that's legit.
06:58 One point lead for SMB, Geron creating space, throws it up and in.
07:07 In the second quarter, they locate Hodge, Malik Sinow being hounded by Troiano.
07:14 Hodge on the drive, the layup against Junmar is good for two.
07:17 That's a smart move.
07:19 Against the Miralco Bulls, 2 minutes 40 seconds remaining in your first half of action.
07:24 Low scoring, second quarter, that is a miss coming from Newsome asking for a foul,
07:29 referee is not agreeing.
07:31 Controliano open for three, it's good!
07:36 Hey, how big of a lift, I know that was a great shot by Don,
07:41 but how big of a lift has Tang brought to the table?
07:44 He has a couple big shots and they're a nice assist.
07:47 They want to be called the Death 15 and now that is turning into reality
07:52 against the Miralco Bulls, Alain Maliksi, the pull up jumper is good as a response.
07:57 Backed up lands to Alain Maliksi coming from Cliff Hodge.
08:00 Hodge on the reverse, it's good!
08:03 Again, you know, Cliff Hodge is learning, if you can't go up, go long.
08:10 I may not be a vertical jumper, I'm a horizontal.
08:13 Gets around the Kraken.
08:16 42 apiece with a minute and change left in the first half of action.
08:21 Jerron Tang uses a screen, a long three from JT, it's good!
08:26 Talk about oozing with confidence.
08:31 Check out 21, Jerron Tang coming in off the bench,
08:36 eight points and a couple assists.
08:39 The three is money for CB.
08:41 We definitely have a ball game.
08:44 Let's see it once again, look at this, from a couple steps behind,
08:47 a little bit cold and just makes great things happen
08:52 as does Chris Banquero from that side.
08:55 Again Perez and Fajardo both with three personal fouls.
08:59 Newsome, the three is good!
09:03 They are firing on all cylinders now.
09:08 CJ, defended well as they crash.
09:15 Half time stats are brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA,
09:19 but the glaring number really was the 34-9 bench points advantage
09:23 coming from the San Miguel Beerman.
09:25 Absolutely, you cannot discount the fact.
09:29 In this matchup, Marcel Azzerter also quiet in this ball game so far
09:33 after sinking the game winner in game number two.
09:37 Also a bit quiet in the last game.
09:40 So Clipage now manning Mo Tautua.
09:43 They could not send the ball inside to June Mars
09:46 so they will post up Mo instead.
09:48 There's a mismatch.
09:50 Mo off the fake spin and he gets an end one.
09:53 Hello, I'm kicking your guys' butts tonight.
09:57 Tautua taught you a lesson.
10:00 Down low.
10:02 Dealing with the defense of CJ.
10:05 Nice tap.
10:06 Almost stolen but it is recovered.
10:08 What a shoot. Stop is completed.
10:10 Marcio to CJ. CJ touchdown!
10:13 Great presence of mind there from Marcio Lassiter
10:17 just to tip it over to CJ Perez who sails in for the easy deuce.
10:23 Almazan left wide open.
10:25 Three point shot is good!
10:27 And he quiets the crowd.
10:30 For Hodgson, Almazan, Newsome.
10:35 They swing it. Norbert Torres inside
10:37 and he has a hobbled June Mars for guarding him.
10:40 June Mars with a tough catch.
10:42 They swing it.
10:44 Ross.
10:46 Eight seconds remaining of the shot.
10:48 Ross blocked by Bates.
10:50 Good get to him.
10:52 And it is a struggle of a performance here
10:56 with Newsome singing a tough layup with the left hand.
11:00 He's gone through in this league.
11:03 He has that hunger and desire to win a title.
11:04 His biggest motivation is none other than to repay the franchise
11:08 that has given him everything since day one.
11:10 Big to big or big to quick.
11:12 Oh and he gets his. That's not the usual.
11:15 Guys who shoot free throws rarely get their own rebound.
11:18 Oh and they get burned with a three point shot from Marcio Lassiter.
11:22 What's important is that he stays ready for those big moments.
11:25 Gentlemen.
11:27 Thank you for that report Miss Pauline.
11:29 The jumper won't fall.
11:32 It's back to Miralco.
11:33 Three point shot for Newsome.
11:35 That is huge just to keep them in the conversation.
11:38 Here in this 48th season Philippine Cup.
11:41 Let's see if they can continue.
11:43 Oh a steal here. Newsome with a breakaway and it's gone.
11:45 A little bit greedy on that steal attempt.
11:47 But this one well timed coming from Chris Newsome
11:51 on the ambush just as.
11:53 Cajardo.
11:56 Goes to Enciso.
11:58 They swing it. Geron.
12:01 Goes to the spin. JT Lampes.
12:02 Good off the back.
12:04 Again such a lift.
12:06 Tang has really brought the goods here in Game 3.
12:10 Best game of JT in the finals.
12:12 Best game of Motow Tuas as well in the finals.
12:15 As San Miguel is up by one.
12:17 Bankero.
12:20 Counter.
12:22 This one will drop.
12:24 Here in this ball game.
12:26 Quinto with 13 points and counting.
12:28 Bankero.
12:30 No good.
12:31 Almazan denied.
12:33 Almazan goes to the other side.
12:35 Another set of second chance points for Raymond.
12:37 Bankero staying aggressive.
12:39 Quinto.
12:41 Issues a pass to Hodge.
12:43 Clip.
12:45 Almazan the one hander is good in that dunker spot.
12:47 Will they generate some more offense coming from Motow Tuas.
12:49 Hodge on him.
12:51 They're double teaming Mo as well.
12:53 Good ball swing.
12:55 More stripper trade.
12:57 That's good.
12:59 Good job.
13:00 Double team comes.
13:02 Ball swing.
13:04 Ball rotation.
13:06 Martial Lassiter in the corner.
13:08 He reminded his players to do a better job.
13:10 And to stay disciplined in terms of their defensive rotation.
13:12 Offensively the coaches emphasize they need to do better.
13:14 Fouled.
13:16 Unfortunately.
13:18 He landed awkwardly.
13:20 And the back of his head.
13:22 There was a whiplash.
13:24 That hurts.
13:26 I would have said why not tonight.
13:28 Chris Newsome.
13:29 Three point shot is short.
13:31 Hodge is there to take care of business.
13:33 What a tremendous effort by Cliff Hodge right there.
13:35 Really going hard to that offensive glass.
13:37 Again both of these teams giving their all.
13:39 This is a very pivotal time.
13:41 Oh and a block by Cliff.
13:43 But there is Junmar to clean it up.
13:45 It's 38 seconds remaining in game number three.
13:47 CJ.
13:49 To Marcio.
13:51 Quick trigger.
13:53 Go for three.
13:56 He took a bit of contact.
13:58 So I think that was the right call.
14:00 In the PBA you always say the last two minutes.
14:02 But for me it's always the last five minutes.
14:04 Who can really perform and step up.
14:06 Well that guy just did.
14:08 The guy who just knocked his head on the floor.
14:10 Pretty good.
14:12 Drains a nice three there CJ Perez.
14:14 The seesaw continues as the lead shifts back.
14:16 To the side.
14:18 And there is a block by Marcio.
14:20 He's going to get it.
14:22 And he's going to get it.
14:25 Back to the San Miguel Beermen.
14:26 Still sitting on this 2-3 zone defense.
14:28 Banquero.
14:30 Three point shot.
14:32 No good.
14:34 Hodge with the rebound.
14:36 Gives it up to Raymond Almazan.
14:38 Passes off to Banquero.
14:40 CB to Newsom now.
14:42 New towards his left.
14:44 Now attacks middle.
14:46 Midrange jumper is deadly.
14:48 Tautua has been quiet.
14:50 Has not scored yet here in the fourth quarter.
14:52 Still at 19 points.
14:54 The layup is blocked by Newsom.
14:55 And he saves the possession to Banquero.
14:57 That is the remarkable part.
14:59 Not only did he block the shot.
15:01 He saved it.
15:03 Another one-hander miss coming from CB.
15:05 Oh a steal from CJ.
15:07 Perez in a foot race.
15:09 CJ layup.
15:11 No.
15:13 CJ thought he could have been fouled there.
15:16 Kinto for three.
15:18 That's good.
15:20 Great defensive effort by Morales.
15:23 To foil that attempt by CJ Perez.
15:24 And they come back this way.
15:26 And a rebound is just as good as a tip out to one of your teammates.
15:29 Just gained that possession.
15:31 CJ under the defense of Almazan with an end one.
15:34 Under you.
15:36 And gets the harm.
15:38 Let's see it once again.
15:40 Little in-out.
15:42 Quick step.
15:44 Goes right under.
15:46 Goes to Banquero.
15:48 He has struggled in this ball game.
15:50 Especially in the second half.
15:52 He's got it.
15:53 Newsome open from the corner.
15:55 That's good.
15:57 Big, big, big shot.
15:59 Miralco-Boltz set.
16:01 They were testing.
16:03 They were moving the 2-3 zone defense.
16:05 Send Miguel to get back.
16:07 If he misses, it is play on.
16:09 Yes.
16:11 So Miralco already instructing their players to give up a foul.
16:13 If he misses, he does not.
16:15 Junmar loses the basketball.
16:17 CJ to Chris Ross.
16:19 One last attempt.
16:21 lead the series two games to one.
