00:00 The Kraken inside against Guito, deep position for Junmar.
00:03 He gets double teamed, passes it out to Perez.
00:06 CJ steps back for three.
00:08 That is smooth by Perez.
00:10 What a pass there by Junmar.
00:13 And even better finish here for CJ.
00:16 The Beerman, but I know these guys want to go undefeated here in this conference.
00:22 CJ drives inside, drops it off.
00:27 Brandial finishes, plus the foul.
00:29 He drives so well, and yet he's so just unselfish to really share that ball with his teammates
00:35 underneath.
00:36 Power forward from Abulu Gagayan, number 18, Troy Rosario.
00:41 In at center from Orani Pataan, number 8, Bradwin Quinto.
00:46 Power forward from Tabaco Albay, number 91, Rodney Brandial.
00:51 In at center from Pinamungahan Cebu, number 15, Junmar Fajardo.
00:58 Fades away, back shot doesn't go.
01:00 Casho comes away with it.
01:01 Quecate ahead of the pack.
01:03 Layup is good for James Quecate.
01:06 Troy counters back.
01:08 His three pointer doesn't go.
01:10 Nice pass by Guito, inside to David.
01:16 Back down low.
01:17 Junmar posting up Guito.
01:19 Double team doesn't come.
01:20 Foul is there, plus the basket for Fajardo.
01:26 You cannot, you cannot, if you were Quecate, you cannot just.
01:29 Goes back down against Chua.
01:32 Spins, turns, fires, and scores!
01:38 That's what's going to drive you crazy.
01:39 I mean, Junmar has developed that perimeter game.
01:43 Even in the international, in the world championships, we've seen what Junmar can do on the block
01:49 against the world's best.
01:50 It's really a pick your poison thing right now for Fajardo.
01:53 Just as Chua gets much needed points for the black quarter bossing.
01:57 Fajardo, goes to Tungkab.
02:01 Tungkab, wide open three, and he scores to beat the buzzer here in the first quarter.
02:07 Tungkab was a threat.
02:08 This is a nice kick out to Tungkab, but if you bite on that shot fake, you're giving
02:13 Tungkab a wide open look.
02:14 And that ends an exciting first quarter here at the Phil Sports Arena.
02:18 That was a great, uh, "suabe" it's called.
02:22 Smooth.
02:23 Very smooth.
02:24 And speaking of smooth, JD Tungkab fires away from the outside and Blackwater just down
02:29 by five.
02:30 I mean, that's what makes a good team.
02:33 That, you know, no matter what happens, you're still solid all throughout.
02:37 Afterwards.
02:38 I mean, that's the reason why it's called team, right?
02:40 So, you know, once you have that solid mindset of playing within the team concept, that's
02:45 what will make any team successful.
02:49 Right now, James Yap.
02:52 Here's another guy who's had battles with Arwin Santos on the floor for the Blackwater
02:57 bossing.
02:58 Jericho Cruz right now barreling himself inside, gets the basket, plus the foul.
03:04 He just bulldozes his way inside against the "bata."
03:09 That's just too easy for Jericho Cruz.
03:12 Fajardo.
03:13 Cruz losing control of the basketball.
03:18 Cruz inside.
03:19 Floater.
03:20 That is good for Jericho Cruz.
03:23 That's the beauty about what the coaches of San Miguel really worked on.
03:27 He goes to the corner.
03:29 Rosario for three.
03:30 Oh, they needed that one.
03:31 Rosario with a three-pointer.
03:32 He hands it off to Romeo.
03:34 Terrence.
03:35 Can't finish the mid-range shot.
03:37 Fast break opportunity.
03:38 Buencote.
03:39 This is the second one of the ballgames.
03:41 This is a beautiful fast break run by James Buencote.
03:45 The Blackwater bossing, cutting that 15-point lead down to 10, forcing a timeout from the
03:50 San Miguel Bearmen.
03:51 Oh, nice catch by Buencote.
03:53 Arkay gets it back.
03:55 Swing it back out to Rosario.
03:57 Lines up the three.
03:58 Back-to-back hits for Troy.
04:01 Lagan.
04:02 Shoots.
04:03 And he scores.
04:06 Arkay delivers for the Blackwater bossing.
04:10 You know, amazing guy, plays with a big heart.
04:14 Arkay Lagan goes to James Buencote.
04:17 Shoots a three.
04:18 And scores a three.
04:20 It's a three-point ballgame.
04:21 That's why you look at the roster of the bossings, they really have a lot of good players there
04:26 who are young.
04:27 And definitely we're seeing a lot of good things from these guys.
04:31 DJ Perez goes back down to Fajardo.
04:35 Oh, what a spin and finish by Junmar.
04:38 I think, you know, Junmar is just, like, taking his time.
04:41 But when he wants to score, he will score.
04:45 Arkay, what a layup by Lagan.
04:49 Take a look at this one more time.
04:50 This best move of the game is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
04:57 Thank you, Doreen.
04:58 And so far, speaking of peak form, CJ Perez already with 14 here in this game.
05:04 Trying to add to this one.
05:05 This time Perez gets the basket.
05:08 And Ciso will go to Blondial.
05:11 Deep position.
05:12 Fajardo can't score.
05:14 Battle for it.
05:15 Troy Rosario has some time.
05:17 Rosario all the way.
05:19 And he beats the second-quarter buzzer.
05:23 Getting ahead of steam here, Coach.
05:25 And nobody even stopping the fast break for Rosario.
05:28 That's how quick Troy Rosario is, that he was able to go coast to coast and still finish on the layup.
05:33 Earlier, nine seconds on the shot clock.
05:36 One-on-one, Guinto against Fajardo.
05:39 And that's going to be a foul against Bradway Guinto.
05:42 Guard, a tough player, Alvin Patrimonio.
05:44 And what are the things that I really did sweat.
05:50 64-68.
05:52 Oh, CJ hangs in the air.
05:55 Reverse layup.
05:56 Meanwhile, CJ Perez going downhill.
06:00 That low post mismatch on Marshall because of his height.
06:04 And then you got Chris Ross making up for those mismatch.
06:08 Oh, in transition, Marshall makes the pay.
06:12 Good hands by the bossy.
06:15 Marshall against David.
06:17 Look at this shot.
06:18 Look at this shot by Lassiter.
06:23 I have nothing much to say.
06:26 I mean, they just have so many guys who can always be a threat.
06:32 Ross with a pass inside to Troiano for the finish.
06:37 The Beerman.
06:38 Oh, bad pass by Junmar, miscommunication with Troiano.
06:42 Blackwater pushing the pace.
06:43 Casho layup is good.
06:45 And Blackwater with a quick run here to cut the lead down to eight.
06:50 And Jericho Cruz missing a three for the Beerman.
06:54 Tyrus Hill with a head of steam.
06:56 Dives inside.
06:57 Layup is good for Tyrus Hill.
07:03 Blackwater again with a run here, cutting that lead down to six.
07:08 And San Miguel, I like it that they're not taking Blackwater lightly.
07:11 You can see that they're battling in this ballgame.
07:13 Troiano fires a three.
07:15 Oh, Troiano with a big shot.
07:18 You see, but the problem, you know, even -- that's a problem playing San Miguel.
07:23 You know, even if you know that they're already in the next round, you know,
07:27 and they know that they're like tops in the team standings,
07:32 they never take anything lightly.
07:34 What a shot here.
07:35 Athletic finish by Tyrus Hill.
07:37 He gets fouled.
07:39 Taking a seat here in the third.
07:40 Maybe a chance here for Blackwater to cut into this lead.
07:44 But CJ Perez still there, spinning.
07:47 Look at the challenge by Escoto.
07:49 It doesn't matter as CJ Perez.
07:55 Back to Terrence.
07:57 Steps back, shoots.
07:59 Gains the three and beats the third-quarter buzzer.
08:04 The momentum is starting to shift on the side of Blackwater,
08:07 but they would have a miscue on their set place.
08:11 Terrence, another step back.
08:13 And that goes in after cleaning the rim.
08:18 Creates so much space on that pull up or that step back jumper
08:21 that he is able to launch that shot.
08:24 And that's another turnover for the ball.
08:27 CJ Perez is five points away from another 25-point -- at least 25-point game.
08:32 He's been on a five-game streak with that.
08:35 Perez adding to his point total.
08:37 And he gets a foul.
08:39 Preparation and game plan for this game.
08:41 You see on one side San Miguel asserting their dominance.
08:44 I don't think they recognize they had only 4.6 seconds on the shot clock in that last one.
08:49 Meanwhile, the Beerman, Trolliano for three.
08:52 That looks good.
08:53 That's good for Don Trolliano.
08:54 That really hurts, and that's going to really break your back,
08:57 especially if you are -- you know, if you had an opportunity to score on one end,
09:02 and then you just turn the ball over, and then in the other end, you allow the team to score.
09:07 J.J. Tongkab missing that three.
09:08 Perez sees a lane.
09:10 What a sidestep and finish for CJ Perez.
09:14 It seems that they are playing better defense than Miguel, led by this guy.
09:19 It's just like ship to high gear.
09:21 They were able to -- Coach George gives them enough room to be creative,
09:25 and at the same time, it's still within the kind of system that he wants them to run.
09:31 Look at that.
09:33 Battling his way inside.
09:34 Back down low to Rodney.
09:38 CJ pulls up.
09:39 CJ makes it 26 points for CJ Perez, and his streak continues.
09:45 That's sheer talent right there.
09:48 I mean, he just continues to work.
09:50 He just continues to even get better.
09:53 R.J. Lagan with a much-needed three-pointer for the Blackwater Bossing.
09:56 They were stuck at 80 for quite some time.
09:59 What a massive run here by San Miguel.
10:07 Oh, that's another shot for the Behrman.
10:13 I mean, this second unit seems like they don't even look at the score anymore
10:17 because some other teams that are not as disciplined as San Miguel,
10:22 they will take it lightly already just like coast around, but not with this second unit.
10:26 Look at the way they have really been -- you know, still remain to be sharp.
10:31 That shot of James Speck, a 16-6 run by the San Miguel Behrman to start the fourth quarter
10:39 as Troy Rosario toying around with RK and makes another jumper.
10:46 Troy turns.
10:47 Oh, gets blocked by Don.
10:50 CJ to Trolliano.
10:51 Trolliano finishes, plus the foul.
10:55 Doing it both defense and on offense.
10:58 Rosario -- oh, sorry, Trolliano.
11:01 Go back down through the crack in.
11:02 Junmar hands it off to CJ.
11:06 Don wide open three.
11:07 That's another one for Don Trolliano.
11:11 David gets closed off.
11:13 They go to Casho.
11:15 Casho layup.
11:16 That is smooth by JB.
11:18 Against David.
11:20 Loads up.
11:22 Shoots over David and scores 12 points for Romeo.
11:28 I mean, the play just literally evolved with Junmar diving to the post,
11:33 Trolliano going on the screen, and it just isolated him in that elbow.
11:39 David inside.
11:41 Easy basket for Blackwater.
11:43 Is to remain sharp and to really try to get even beyond to their expectation
11:49 what they can do or what they are capable of doing.
11:52 As JD Tunkab sails in for the layup.
11:55 Tyrese Hill back to JD Tunkab.
11:58 Casho up top.
12:01 He's at the bid with an alley-oop finish.
12:05 They go to Junmar for three.
12:07 Junmar can't get it to go.
12:09 Tunkab with the rebound.
12:11 Fast break opportunity.
12:13 Hopia -- oh, he's against Terrence.
12:15 He drops it off to Tyrese Hill.
12:16 Great play by Clifford Hopia.
12:18 And that's the one thing that you really want to see Clifford Hopia,
12:21 a young guy coming into the league.
12:23 You want him to be able to assert himself
12:25 because that's the only way he can gain his confidence.
12:28 And the postseason of the association is finally here.
12:30 Watch the 2024 NBA playoffs on NBA TV Philippines.
12:34 Run sports and Filipinas live.
12:36 #EverythingCounts, #NBAOnSignal.
12:38 Scoring, resisting, participating.
12:42 All he has to do is just to look for opportunities
12:45 and how he can just make sure that the team will win.
12:48 Shots coming from everywhere right now for --
12:51 As JD Tunkab ducks that basketball in.
12:55 And as I said, points coming in from everywhere for the San Miguel side.
12:59 Djeko Cruz, Terrence Romi, everybody is scoring right now.
13:04 As Troiano, will he get his sixth?
13:06 Yes, sir!
13:08 Wow.
13:09 Wow!
13:10 Crazy shooting on the part of Don Troiano.
13:14 Oh, Tunkab, shifty layup is good for JD.
13:18 [Game noise]
13:25 122-102, that's their score.
13:27 Look at that, San Miguel, they scored 120 in that last game.
13:31 They just exploded in this fourth quarter.
13:35 JD against Malili.
13:37 Inside, turnover, Tyrus Hill.
13:40 He will go up and slam this down.
13:43 Don Troiano, as we take a look at this dunk by Tyrus Hill.
13:48 I mean, that's why --
13:50 Just waiting for the final score of this ballgame in CISO.
13:53 Oh, with a smitty!
13:55 And Rodri Brandial with a tip in.
14:02 Jason David attacking inside, hangs in the air.
14:06 He will go to the free throw line for the end one opportunity.
14:11 Lots of very athletic players here for the Blackwater Ballsingers.
14:15 You know, when you look at --
14:17 Of course, athleticism will definitely be part of every player that will come into the league.
14:22 But then if you don't have the athleticism, you have your mind, you have your brains to be able to still find a way to score.
14:30 But when you look at the way Blackwater really competed in this game, offensively, it wasn't really the problem.
14:36 They were able to shoot, everyone really contributed too.
14:41 The question is how to stop Drew Marfajardo and even CJ Perez that created a lot of scoring opportunities for the rest of the team.
14:49 Again, as you said, Coach, it's just finding that mismatch, always getting that two on the ball on Drew Marfajardo.
