00:00 >> It's not an easy road that they have embarked on.
00:04 43 out of 44 teams that have gone up 2-0.
00:08 That's the effort that Coach Jemike is looking for.
00:12 >> Driving to the mid-range and he just took two steps straight back.
00:15 The range of three.
00:17 >> Baroka on court Salonwa and eight points.
00:22 >> Momentum from being ahead by as much as 13 points in the first half
00:25 and losing by 18 points only showed how out hustled they were by this young Phoenix team.
00:30 For Coach Ito it all boils down to effort and defense.
00:34 >> Original thought with James Lapu.
00:36 Again, what they're missing for me is that domination inside.
00:40 >> Yes.
00:41 >> They got some tall guy, you know, Rocky Rivas, but not a guy who will really dominate inside.
00:45 >> Love to see that again, but meantime, look at that.
00:49 Look at that.
00:50 Shot knocked down to 14. Baroka has it. Key on him.
00:55 Gets it out to Abu. That jumper is good.
00:59 >> Big shot. Another guy who can really produce a little bit different than it really is.
01:04 But this is a shot once again. Abu.
01:07 Trotter draining it from the top.
01:10 >> Down to seven.
01:13 And the one-handed jump from a far layup of Mark Baroka.
01:17 >> That's wicked.
01:19 >> 12 points for Mark Baroka, the coffee prince.
01:23 >> Kick out to Ahan Misi.
01:27 Baroka.
01:29 To Joniso. Challenge shot there, but still he made it over Alejandro.
01:34 >> So many kinds of weapons and steadiness for his team, but tonight he's not shooting the ball well.
01:39 He's got to figure out a way to get the ball in the hole.
01:42 Zero points for him. Maybe he can take a lesson or two from that guy.
01:46 >> We're going to check that again in slow-mo.
01:49 Using that screen by Lapwood. Over Williams.
01:52 Boom. Nothing but a bottom of the net for Mark Baroka. They're up by 16.
01:58 Paulie has it. It's a three-on-one break.
02:00 To Baroka. To Bay. And it goes in.
02:03 What's a bonus free throw coming up?
02:06 >> You're going to foul. You've got to make sure.
02:08 >> Bay makes him pay.
02:11 Good, unselfish three-on-one.
02:13 It almost looked like one of those drills you run in practice.
02:19 >> Bay, thanks for that info, by the way.
02:21 Meantime, Paulie from downtown.
02:23 Boom!
02:26 >> Now they've got a lot of guys going.
02:28 Now I think -- >> Hugemongous.
02:31 >> This came all the way from the Skyway or even Calox.
02:35 Another offense here for Magnolia.
02:40 No hamstring problem for Mark Baroka.
02:43 >> And that.
02:47 >> Sakalana.
02:48 For to shoot. Baroka. Uncorks a three.
02:51 That is a backbreaker there.
02:55 >> Bang, bang, bang.
02:57 Glimmer of light now for Phoenix as we look at that --
