00:00From Dumaguete at forward, number 8, Calvin Ofdana!
00:04And also at forward, and from Santa Ana, Bampanga, at center, number 1.
00:09How are you liking the improvement in the game of Kenneth Tuffin in their last few contests?
00:15Well, definitely a tough guy, and he's maturing as, you know, time goes on.
00:20These games are really giving him a little bit more experience.
00:23He's understanding, you know, really how to play the game a little bit better.
00:27I was able to talk to him a couple of games ago, and he said he was really looking forward to this ballgame,
00:32because he'll be matched up against Calvin Ofdana,
00:36and he considers him as one of the best in their position, the small forward spot.
00:40I think he's right. Derek Calvin Ofdana is a phenom again.
00:45When he is playing his best ballgame, not having those little dips, he's an amazing specimen.
00:513-0, 2 triples coming from Muyang, and Castro from the corner now.
00:55Salado joins the early three-point party.
00:58Good things will happen after that.
01:01They swing it, Castro fakes, attacks the closeout.
01:04Jason kicks it to the corner, Pogboi for three, that's good.
01:09That's a big shot in the arm for him.
01:11Again, we were talking about him at the start of the telecast.
01:14He's been struggling, or at least in the last game, 3 out of 10 from three-point land.
01:17Didn't show any hesitation on that one.
01:19No hesitation either for Jason Perkins.
01:22Both Brandon and Kelly, when they shoot that shot, they kind of fall away.
01:27They start running down, stay there.
01:31Raul Soyu, the player coming in for Larry Muyang.
01:35Salado locates a cutting Perkins, he backs it home.
01:39That was so strong, and so athletic.
01:42Jason Perkins just hailed his body in midair, and the big lefty kissed it off the glass.
01:48Interesting matchup choice here, coming from coach Jamai Karim.
01:52He has a smaller Salado.
01:55Defending of Tana, Kim Montalvo finds a way to score.
01:59That's a tremendous spin by Kim, going around the bigger defender.
02:08Soyu looking for his option, sends it off to Salado up top.
02:12Uses the ball screen from Perkins, turns the corner, Salado blocked by BGR.
02:17Brandon can definitely get up there with the best of them.
02:22Not the perfect connection between Montalvo and Pogoy,
02:24but Kim looking for offense, step through layup is good for two.
02:30The word I'll use is nifty, that's all you can say.
02:33Two pretty incredible moves from the little guy amongst the big trees.
02:3816-14, TNT taking the two-point lead.
02:42Outside shot, backs home for Soyu.
02:44Yes, and he's hoping for a big one here today.
02:47Montalvo launches, in and out on the triple.
02:51Would have been three straight field goals for Kim.
02:54With seven points, it's like two minutes for him.
02:58Salado, sneaky layup is good against Pogoy.
03:02Pick up the action, the three and a half remaining.
03:04Glenn Kabutin misses from the Perkins, with a rebound.
03:09All of a sudden, nothing falling for TNT after a hot start.
03:13Salado, spacing was not great on that drive.
03:17Perkins will launch and convert from deep.
03:20But he's got to work on getting these stops.
03:23Look at this shot once again.
03:25Double-digit lead versus TNT, that kick out fast lands with Auren.
03:29He launches from deep, only hitting less.
03:33They've been stuck at 16 for a bit now, while Perkins launches.
03:38How about 15?
03:39First quarter point for the hefty lefty.
03:43Post him up, feels he has a size advantage.
03:46Mohorn, ooh, he can't be too casual.
03:49Jason Castro pokes them all free, and Jason will finish with a layup.
03:54Coach Jamaica asking his players to spread out.
03:57Jason, look at him dive for the loose ball.
03:59Castro sends it over.
04:01Kelly Williams with a layup.
04:03Diving for that loose ball.
04:04See, once again, he taps it out.
04:07Kent is a little slow to get to it, as is Perkins.
04:10And he not only gets the steal, he gets the ball right.
04:14And a tough in, hands it off to Mohorn.
04:17These are one of those lineups that can switch a lot of screens for Phoenix defensively.
04:22RJ, second look, it's good from down, down.
04:25They should not have allowed RJ Hazul to take a three,
04:30because you cannot go under the screen again.
04:33Alvin Oftana in the last game against him, never went scoreless in the first and third quarter.
04:38Guess what he has in his first quarter of this game?
04:41Scoreless, nothing yet.
04:42Yep, three-point shot is good though, as Richie has it.
04:47With 16 remaining in their shot clock.
04:48Ribeiro finds space, Richie finishes.
04:52I was just about to say.
04:54Now Perkins has it.
04:57Perkins, a little more mobile against Gallinato.
04:59He pulls up, he spins.
05:01What a finish, 17 points for Perkins.
05:05Really flexing their muscles for this one.
05:08Carrera kicks it out to Henry.
05:11They fake the handoff, Gallinato.
05:13Ooh, what a fine down low to Bogoy.
05:16Graffi, that ball bounces over to Salado.
05:19Kent attacks middle, fakes.
05:21Nice.
05:22Oh, a great pass of his own.
05:25What a dime there from Kent Salado.
05:27Get the assist, Tuffin will get the foul and the possibility
05:31of going to make a three-point play from the free throw line.
05:35What a pass.
05:36Game that maybe we are yet to see from him here in the PBA.
05:39Back to you guys.
05:40Thank you so much for that report.
05:41Certainly will not be surprised with more improvements coming from Kenneth Tuffin.
05:46But right now, Jason Perkins is-
05:48You gotta pay special attention.
05:49Look at this, once again.
05:51Between the legs, gives a little shake and fake.
05:54Nice little 360, goes all the way to the rack.
05:58It wasn't popular back then, Vince.
06:00They haven't invented it.
06:0420-point lead, good extra pass as BGR goes reverse.
06:08Phoenix pushing it forward, Lallata catches.
06:11Oh, but it's taken away by the defense of Brandon.
06:14Counterattack for TNT.
06:16Hostana, three-point shot is good.
06:18Final shot of this first half.
06:21Hostana with a giant step back.
06:24Misses on the three, BGR offensive rebound.
06:27He gets this and one.
06:28That's a big man.
06:30Doing a great job fighting, battling, getting that ball,
06:35being tough, getting knocked around, and still.
06:40In attendance here inside the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
06:44Salado on the run, attacks baseline.
06:46What a fine Tuffin with the finish.
06:50That will be three-point shot number 11 for Phoenix.
06:54Great find as Skelly goes reverse.
06:57Went fancy with it on a layup.
06:59And so settling down, organizing their offense more is vital,
07:02especially here in the start of the second half.
07:04As the TNT coaches back on the smarts of their backgrounds
07:06to work their way up into saving this game.
07:08Thank you for that report, Miss Doreen.
07:10Look at this move.
07:12What a nice play there.
07:14So the lead is down to just 12.
07:17Phoenix will need a basket here.
07:19Oh, this is the opposite of what they need.
07:20A turnover of Tana finishes with a left hand.
07:25You gotta love the acceleration.
07:26Once he got that ball, he just took off like a jet
07:30and finished all the way at the rack left-handed.
07:32And this rally continues for the Tropangiga.
07:36Fuel Masters needing a basket to quell this rally.
07:39Perkins, can he deliver?
07:41Yes, he will.
07:43The hefty lefty just carves out all of that space with that heft
07:48and then goes up with a nice touch with that left.
07:51Kelly Williams wants to go coast to coast.
07:53That's an end one for Kelly.
07:56Call the foul against me.
07:57Let's look at it once again.
07:59Was he there?
08:01It's a tough call.
08:03Those bang-bang calls as they use the hashtag
08:06everything counts and NBA on signal.
08:11Oh, two misses.
08:12But Perkins is there.
08:13Put back his money.
08:16So no blood.
08:17I mean, they got what they were after.
08:20Talking about Phoenix.
08:22Pushing up that lead just a little bit more.
08:24Oren from the corner.
08:26Three-point shot is down.
08:28So last time it was Glantz turning one corner.
08:32This time, Kim Oren does the exact same thing from the opposite side.
08:37Also misses his first two attempts in the first half from downtown.
08:40What a time for it to come.
08:42And just like that, it's a five-point game.
08:46That pass lands with Mokon.
08:47Eight seconds to work with.
08:48RJ uses the screen.
08:50Kabutin on him.
08:51Azul creates space.
08:52Flips it up and in.
08:55Such a strong play.
08:57He really cleared up some real estate just to get that shot attempt off.
09:01Could have been the travel there.
09:03Another three for Kabutin.
09:04Good again!
09:05They are on fire.
09:07That's three threes in a row.
09:10In rapid succession.
09:11And now they're only down by four points.
09:1475-71.
09:15Pokoi with a steal.
09:17RR picks.
09:18RR scores.
09:22What a rally.
09:24Put on by these black shirts.
09:26Amazing job of just working hard.
09:30Getting back into this game the old-fashioned way.
09:32Just working hard and making big plays.
09:34Pokoi to the corner.
09:36Extra pass.
09:36Auren for the lead!
09:39It's good!
09:41You just knew.
09:43Wilting.
09:44Her boils.
09:46Next free throw not dropping for Mokon.
09:48And we will stay tied at 76.
09:50Two and a half left in your third quarter.
09:52Auren is letting it fly!
09:54Oh my goodness!
09:55That's his third in the third quarter.
10:00And goes shot.
10:01He's still NR.
10:03He's just sitting there saying,
10:04Yeah, okay.
10:05Another three.
10:07I know you guys made four in a row,
10:08but I'm not impressed.
10:10Not yet anyway.
10:11Salado to the corner.
10:12Hazul sends it inside to Mokon against Kabutin.
10:15Mokon.
10:16That's his shot.
10:17It will trickle in for JV.
10:21Try to get this dub.
10:23Oktana with a step back.
10:26Shot is money!
10:30I don't think they can shoot much better.
10:31I mean, they as a team are doing pretty much
10:35what Jason Perkins did in the first half.
10:37Pretty much perfection.
10:39And the defense has so much energy now
10:41on the side of TNT.
10:42Salado looking for his options.
10:44That pass stolen by Oktana.
10:46He is ahead.
10:47Cabeza layup!
10:49That will count.
10:51Goal tending versus Ritchie.
10:52And now Ritchie is working with the defense.
10:56He attacks Ritchie.
10:57The left has finished!
10:58It's a beauty!
11:00What a play.
11:00And he's asking for the foul as well.
11:03Yep.
11:08Salado.
11:09Blocked by BGR.
11:10And TNT.
11:11Both teams in desperate need of a win
11:14for them to possibly secure a playoff spot.
11:18Alejandro gets the banger to drop.
11:23Salgado looks like he might be a little injured.
11:25Holding on to that hamstring.
11:27JJ on the attack.
11:28Alejandro!
11:29Blocked by Oren.
11:31Good rebound battle won by Perkins.
11:35Garcia for three.
11:37No good.
11:38Rebound yanked away by Kelly.
11:40And he is pushing.
11:42Williams.
11:43Oh, with a healthy in the layup!
11:46In the fourth, Parther.
11:49As Mokon attacks.
11:50That is a tough layup.
11:52Goes nowhere.
11:54Another no-call.
11:56Referees are letting him play.
11:57Ostana!
11:58Three-point play on the leak out.
12:01It really is.
12:0318 points in the ballgame now.
12:05Could make it 19 with the bonus free throw.
12:10Oren has a few seconds to cross here.
12:12He will get there.
12:13Oren goes on the attack.
12:15It was right there!
12:15And he scores on the lefty layup!
12:19But he will quick to get down.
12:20Oh, another poor pass!
12:22Pogoy!
12:23Ahead!
12:24Pogoy!
12:26And one!
12:27TNT gets the best of it.
12:28A nice go-ahead pass.
12:30Pogoy really all alone.
12:32No need to really get in there and allow him to get a three-point play.
12:39No bueno.
12:40Yep, RR Garcia against Oren.
12:42To Mokon now.
12:43Going middle.
12:44Kick-out pass to RR.
12:45Had to launch from deep!
12:46And it's good!
12:47Big one, big one.
12:48He's not gotten a lot of playing time.
12:51I think that's his second shot of the ball game.
12:53But that's a big one.
12:55Kelly Williams on the attack.
12:57Misses.
12:58And they will be one man down on defense.
13:00Numbers for Phoenix.
13:01They will push.
13:02Mokon!
13:03Lefty layup strong.
13:04Camacho put back.
13:06Nothing there!
13:08Two sorry misses for the Fuel Masters.
13:10Those were chippies.
13:12Pogoy against everyone!
13:15Won't connect.
13:15Kelly, second effort.
13:16And one!
13:19Look at Kelly.
13:20Just a man amongst boys.
13:22Inside.
13:23Doesn't matter to Kelly.
13:25He makes good things happen when he's around.
13:28Just by his athleticism and strength.
13:31And the ability to go...
13:32RR turns the corner on the run.
13:34That was going nowhere.
13:35Oftana with the stop.
13:37Calvin to Pogoy.
13:39RR down low.
13:40Bangs it home!
13:42Great fast break.
13:44Tremendous.
13:47Uchi Rivero answers back quickly on the other side.
13:51Oftana has it on the left side.
13:56Kobuntin, that three again!
14:00107-97 is the count.
14:03A 10-point advantage for TNT.
14:05This has to be quick.
14:07Kenneth Duffin scores one inside.
14:09His face won't hear it.
14:10Must-score situation again for Phoenix.
14:12Alejandro attacking middle.
14:15Left alone.
14:16He's given the lane for the layup.
14:19Not sure.
14:20Would have been easier if we still had player timeouts.
14:23But since we got rid of those, it's going to be tough.
14:29And a smart move there by TNT.
14:32There might be opportunities where they could finish tied.
14:34But TNT will opt not to take a shot anymore.
14:39As they will win this ballgame 108-101.
14:43Just an impressive...
