00:00 Hodge will now find Rios. It's now 4 to nothing here for Northport.
00:06 Rios, that's what he can do. And he knocks down that 3.
00:10 Yes, that was a good play. Flair screen provided by Hodge to Rios.
00:17 And Rios makes that 3-point shot.
00:29 Martino, nice dump inside once again. Ka'alma delivers. He's got 4 points.
00:34 What Arvin is doing as we can see here in this play, he draws the defense towards him.
00:40 Of course, being the best scorer in the team.
00:43 Ka'alma will send it out. Again to their main man.
00:47 Arvin will miss fire but once again there to clean things up.
00:51 He's got 6 points.
00:53 Yes, always around that basket. It served him well.
01:00 Black delivers. The referees missed it.
01:07 Black to the cover. To the wing. Rios wide open for this 3.
01:11 Knocks another one down.
01:14 Rosales is going to track this one down off the steel.
01:17 He'll stop, put up a 3.
01:19 Missed fire but Munzon with the offensive board.
01:22 So many offensive rebounds already.
01:25 Not the best of passes. Ka'alma with a drop to his hands.
01:30 And he scores again.
01:32 4th position, up by 2.
01:36 Munzon was suing it. Adamos with the jumper. Yes.
01:40 Good move by Hodge. Just a little short on that jump.
01:48 Adamos could hit this. He's got 5 points.
01:52 He's been mostly with Tera Firma but now he's starting to get to be more familiar with the system of Coach Bonitano.
02:01 Zamar wasn't early enough to get that charge.
02:05 Oh, great play again.
02:07 Great pass by Bulanadi to Lucero.
02:11 But you know, Bulanadi's a scorer so you have to also react to him when he comes into that paint.
02:18 Missed a shot earlier. Finds the open man this time.
02:22 Banquero. Got it great.
02:25 And Almasan delivers.
02:27 Yes, great cut by Raymond Almasan and a tight pass from Banquero.
02:33 He wasn't really open.
02:36 And this was the great bounce pass from Lucero.
02:39 Banquero is back with a pass of his own.
02:44 There's another pass.
02:49 Raymond mentioned that at 34 years old it can be quite a struggle to recover from situations such as the flu and other things.
02:56 But talking to Coach Luigi Trillo about this, he expressed how big Raymond is for this team.
03:01 Despite having catch up, Raymond was a big impact against NLEX and still...
03:05 Every game really counts. So that's something that adds pressure to players.
03:11 They'll be able to perform. Wow.
03:14 This is another guy who can score any time.
03:18 Great shot fake and that running out of time in the last one.
03:24 Got a point off turnovers. Northport 10-0.
03:32 Now they're gonna check this one.
03:35 There was contact.
03:41 Averting the shot clock violation but still no points scored.
03:47 Luzon.
03:48 He's back.
03:50 Sets up Black. Black for three. Yes!
03:53 Eight point deficit staring Maralco in the face.
03:57 Black will put up a long two. Come up short.
04:02 Here's to Latino.
04:07 Almost got away. That might be a three point play opportunity.
04:11 Even after the contact, he was still able to gather that ball.
04:15 So they got the stop. They need to be able to score here Coach. They're still down by 11.
04:20 Black explodes. Gets blocked there.
04:25 Oh! Fran Yu with an assist.
04:28 Oh oh! That's a terrible pass from Fran Yu.
04:33 They almost get the steal already.
04:36 Black says thank you very much.
04:39 But prior to that, a great block by Arvin on Aaron Black.
04:44 Tolentino hits.
04:48 Top three point shot for Tolentino as Toto Jose was right there to challenge his shot.
04:55 Luzon.
05:00 Toto Jose. Extra pass. Banquero for three. Bang!
05:05 Pumuntos for the Batang Pier.
05:09 Just like in this game. Just so Paul Samar and Calma.
05:13 But that was too easy for Banquero. Nobody challenged that play up.
05:19 Rosales goes to Flores.
05:25 They go to remain man.
05:31 Arvin gets denied.
05:39 Just about three and a half minutes remaining. They set up Luzon.
05:43 And he hits that three.
05:46 But now, only one is chasing here by the coach of Meralco.
05:51 Samar from the outside delivers again.
05:55 Yes, and he beats the shot clock with that top three point shot.
06:00 Back up to four for Northport.
06:05 Big slam there from Bong Quinto.
06:09 So he was sure this time after missing an earlier shot.
06:15 That was a shot.
06:17 Yes.
06:18 Tolentino will come up short.
06:21 He sent it to Newsome.
06:29 Newsome.
06:31 Big basket there over Tolentino.
06:34 He's still looking for his rhythm here in this team.
06:39 Because that is not the Chris Rosales that we're used to seeing over in NLEX.
06:43 It was a dead shot from three.
06:45 Yes.
06:46 43 points in the first half was far too low to their liking. Back to you guys.
06:50 That's a very good point. But look at this. A breakdown in defense.
06:54 Just all over Newsome.
07:01 Oh.
07:04 Jose will check in.
07:07 For Torres.
07:08 This was the top shot made by Nuno earlier.
07:13 Brand new.
07:15 Not had as much success today as he did in his previous game.
07:20 Lucero hits.
07:23 Nice tap from the back.
07:29 Not the best of passes.
07:32 They set up Chan. Bang!
07:35 Well, it's a couple of pump fakes.
07:42 That layup will drop and that layup will count.
07:46 Yes, that's a very patient zone offense for the Miralco Bulls that ended with a drive from Nuno.
07:54 We are tied.
07:56 Lucero can't hold to this one.
07:58 And here's Plac on the open court.
08:01 Touchdown.
08:04 Yes, another turnover for Northport.
08:07 That was very costly for them.
08:10 14 points now for Aaron.
08:15 Munzon, deep three, short.
08:19 Look at that tip in there from Xavier.
08:24 Two-point lead enjoyed by Northport. Helter Skelter.
08:28 Flores, easy finish.
08:31 Joel Lomendosa with the gutsy three-point shot in transition and he made it.
08:39 Tip is not going to work.
08:47 Wow.
08:50 Up by five.
08:51 This best move of the game is brought to you by Honda.
08:54 The official motorcycle of the PBA.
08:57 Again, it was Fran Yu who was instrumental in that play center here with Cade Flores as the foreguy.
09:06 And now they're applying some backward pressure. Another.
09:10 And a big slam there from Cade Flores.
09:14 It's another steal for Northport and more transition points for them.
09:19 Almazan with a slam of his own.
09:22 Well, that time it was a successful press break.
09:25 Maliksi with a handoff.
09:33 Almazan with a possible three-point play on the other end.
09:38 As they're able to break that pressure from the backcourt.
09:43 It's by Northport. Nakabawe ng dalawang sunod. Itong Miralco both completed by...
09:49 He's sending to Maliksi.
09:52 Look at those active hands.
09:55 The pass will get to Jeff Chan.
09:58 And Chan finishes.
10:00 Muzon goes up high. Lucero.
10:03 They look for their main man, Tolentino.
10:07 Nice take advantage. Couple of fakes.
10:09 Gets denied there by Hodge.
10:13 Pinto will miss.
10:16 Tolentino looking for space. Finds Lucero. Extra pass.
10:27 Northport looking to build on this six-point advantage.
10:37 Tolentino will put up a three. Short, calm offensive rebound.
10:42 Nice find. Couple of moves.
10:47 That's too easy for Arvin.
10:49 Yes, and that's great spacing provided for Arvin Tolentino.
10:53 Four guys outside and just him inside the paint.
10:56 So it's tougher to help defensively if that's the alignment.
11:02 Carab, finds Jose. Pinto for three. Money.
11:07 Yes, important shot for Bob Pinto. That was a wide open three-point shot for him.
11:13 Two minutes gone in the fourth.
11:17 A chance of defense coming from the crowd here of the Bolts.
11:24 Nice look inside. Calma once again for two.
11:30 Wow, another great pass from Arvin Tolentino to JM Calma.
11:36 Maliksy will launch and misfire. That falls right to Alain.
11:44 And he scores quickly inside.
11:47 Pinto dribbles it off his foot.
11:51 Another steal here from Cade Flores.
11:57 Cade, strong finish.
12:00 Here's Tolentino.
12:04 He'll put up a three. That looks short. It is.
12:07 Calma once again finds Flores. The floater drops.
12:11 And what great hustle from JM Calma to keep that ball alive.
12:16 And that great pass to Cade Flores for an open short jumper.
12:21 The lead is now nine.
12:25 Hodge is not nervous.
12:27 He puts it through.
12:29 Yes, good steal by Cliff Hodge on Arvin Tolentino.
12:32 Wow, I told you he's all over the place.
12:35 Wow.
12:37 He puts it in that loop. He'll bring it out.
12:40 He'll have to attack now.
12:42 Nice.
12:46 So this was the last basket of Northport.
12:53 There you could see in the slow-mo replay the shot was late.
12:57 Munson really wanted them to drive because he knew he was quicker.
13:01 Manglixi delivers.
13:06 As it stands, it's 80-73.
13:10 Under four and a half remaining.
13:12 Black converts.
13:14 Yes, second floater for Aaron Black.
13:21 Two-man game. This time Black will try to attack.
13:25 Nice basket by Jose.
13:27 But Penalco got the stop.
13:29 Still in this ballgame.
13:32 Another steal.
13:35 Munson with a layup.
13:38 Gets it inside to Hodge.
13:42 Newsome with a layup.
13:44 That's a nice play.
13:45 So you're right. They knew exactly what to do in that situation.
13:49 In the 5-point lead, Munson hits the deck.
13:59 Wow.
14:01 Look at Tolentino just taking his time.
14:04 Well, this has been really perhaps what Coach Bonnie Tan,
14:10 as we saw that great drive from Aaron Tan, this is the team that he wants.
14:16 They get it inside to Newsome.
14:20 Look at a steal there.
14:23 Newsome forces the issue.
14:26 Count that basket and one.
14:28 Or even better, get a steal.
14:31 Because they only have 8.2 seconds left.
14:34 Oh, but the shot is too strong.
14:37 And they're not fouling.
14:42 That's a huge rebound by Cade Flores.
14:46 Because he was really being pressured there in the backcourt.
14:50 Yeah, and also a mental lapse on the part of the Bulls.
14:54 They didn't even foul.
