00:00 Chris Newsome at center from Orion Bataan, number 20, Raymond Almazan, Scotty Thompson.
00:07 Also at guard from Alcalá, Pangasinan, number 00, Mavrick.
00:12 To get Alain Maliksy going in any particular ballgame.
00:15 What's interesting also here is how Miralco will contest with the Twin Towers.
00:19 That's something that Miralco needs to solve now, how to stop Stan Hardinger,
00:25 which has been playing well lately, not been really assertive.
00:30 He's looking for Stan Hardinger.
00:31 He wants to punish Raymond Almazan, probably pick up that second foul.
00:35 Stan Hardinger gets this one to connect.
00:38 Stan Hardinger able to extricate himself even with that double team, was able to split it and score.
00:44 Tremendous effort still from Christian Stan Hardinger.
00:49 He is having a late surge to try and catch up to that, the best player of the conference race.
00:54 Meanwhile, Alain Maliksy with five quick points in the ballgame.
00:58 Alain Maliksy proving to everybody that he belongs in that best player of the conference category.
01:05 Check that, only four points, only a two-point shot there coming from Alain Maliksy.
01:10 And Mesey with a pass fake, beautiful drive.
01:13 It's good for two.
01:22 Chris Banquero on the drive, leaves it for Hodge, they swing it to Alain.
01:26 Maliksy sends it to Newsome from the corner, triple.
01:30 Looks like it was partially blocked by Scotty Thompson.
01:32 You're going to see a lot of ball movements and most of their offense coming from...
01:39 Scotty, tight pass, Stan Hardinger down low, could not control it.
01:43 The second effort is there from Japet, unfortunately I think he rolled his ankle a little bit.
01:49 As he is gingerly running back to the other side on D.
01:52 Yeah, that time Hinevra was able to assert himself inside with a twin tower combination.
01:59 Good swing, Banquero converts from Dave.
02:02 If Meralco will be able to convert, enough three-point shots that will put a lot of pressure on the defense of Barangay Hinevra.
02:16 Meanwhile, Ahan Mesey also getting a quick start as he takes the lead back for Hinevra Tentenay.
02:21 Both teams are really scoring well here in the first quarter.
02:25 Good flow, good scoring.
02:32 High-scoring ballgame, who does it favor, Koji?
02:35 Well, I would say Meralco is not normally a high-scoring team, so I'd say Hinevra.
02:44 That is seven first-quarter points already for Chris Banquero.
02:48 Good pass down low, but it is big to big and it connects, usually that's a bucket.
02:54 Game for Meralco.
02:56 Oh, good pass, Stan Hardinger off the spin, another nice make.
03:02 Give quality minutes to the Meralco team, and even right now he's really part of that rotation.
03:09 Another big to big pass, Stan Hardinger.
03:12 So, if that's the scouting report, then they should foul Hinevra a lot in this game.
03:19 Three-point shot is good for Meralco, that one will stay in this game.
03:23 They're playing all 12 minutes in our opener.
03:26 Good pass down low, but even better defensive effort coming from Onwubere with a block.
03:33 Christian on the attack, locates Sidney, does not want to take that shot just yet.
03:39 Onwubere swings it, they want to post up Stanley Pringle, he settles for the jumper and it's good for two.
03:47 That's a good matchup for Pringle again.
03:49 Look at those big men diving to the basket off those screens.
03:53 Stan Hardinger against two defenders.
03:57 Top-low hit, Christian has it and he scores again.
04:02 Stan really taking advantage of that inside plays and switching heavily on those type of plays.
04:10 11 points and 4 assists for Christian Stan Hardinger.
04:13 Anjo, issues a pass out to Torres, Norbert, to Bonquito, three-point shot is knocked down.
04:21 Coming from Christian Stan Hardinger meanwhile, the three-point counter won't work.
04:28 Good battle on the boards and it is won by Onwubere.
04:32 Extra possession here, Pringle could not convert from deep.
04:36 Another offensive rebound, this time it is Pinto who gets it.
04:39 Oh, cool, connects from downtown.
04:41 Luigi Trillo, Aguilar knows he has a speed advantage, he gets this on the drop.
04:48 Coach Reynad asking for a traveling violation, referee saying it was legal.
04:54 Tough shot there by Aguilar against the outstretched hands of Brandon but still was able to make the shot.
05:00 Good read though from Japet, he is quicker than Brandon Bates.
05:04 Banquero, locates Alain Maliksy, inabuta ni Japet.
05:11 They're double-teaming after Christian has already started his move which means he will not be able to pass off anymore.
05:19 Another nice block though, this time courtesy of Ralph Poole as he never gets the stop.
05:24 Hand-off to Pringle, three-point shot, it's good!
05:28 It would be possible, you know, it would be a good...
05:31 I mean, we see it in the NBA, like OKC is trying to do it against Derek Lively in a couple of instances.
05:37 And this will be another set of second-chance points.
05:41 Making a legacy in this league.
05:44 Maliksy on the drive, the runner too strong off the bank.
05:49 Brandon Bates secures another offensive rebound and another putback.
05:53 Brandon Bates has been very active off the boards and he's been contributing really well on those offensive rebounds and putbacks.
06:00 Six points, puro pulut for Brandon Bates.
06:04 As the lead is just at three now for Barangay Ginebra.
06:07 That will be another rebound for Bates.
06:11 Bankero pushing, Newsom on the drive, layup is good!
06:15 ...attention, veering towards Alain Maliksy.
06:20 Just a easy putback there for...
06:22 ...from Miralco to take the lead on this play.
06:25 Newsom with a crossover, no, sets it up, Alain Maliksy dribbles it closer and banks it home to take the lead for the Mocs.
06:37 Newsom gets the switch, obvious speed advantage against Dan Hardinger.
06:41 Nunu creates space and he will get the friendly bounce on the jumper.
06:46 Look at that tight defense coming from Miralco over the timeout.
06:50 And now Ralfku will launch from downtown, three-point shot finally for Ralfku, the worst score list for almost six minutes.
06:57 That ends a 14-0 run for Miralco.
07:00 That's a big three there by Ralfku to stop that run off from Miralco.
07:06 Elbow, kicks it out to Scottie.
07:09 Pocket pass did not connect, it lands with Dan Hardinger somehow.
07:12 Four shot no good, but the defense, that effort is there for Ahan Misy.
07:17 Follow it up and get a foul.
07:19 As you can see there, a shaded area.
07:23 It's like a pass.
07:24 And that's Hase's share of offensive putbacks as well.
07:28 Good pass coming from Christian, the layup is good for Ahan Misy.
07:36 And I'm looking for his options.
07:39 Oh, great read coming from Scottie and he is gone.
07:45 Right now, they've switched their defense, their matchup, Kinto getting Ahan Misy now.
07:50 Another three-point shot from Ralfku.
07:54 It might be seven games of this coach-y as Maverick Ahan Misy continues to pour it on here in the third quarter.
08:04 He also hits double digits with 11 now.
08:06 Result to a camp, a one-month camp for all of our Olympians.
08:12 That's a big-time block coming from Chaffetz.
08:14 Pringle wants a three, Pringle gets a three!
08:18 Pringle leading the charge here for Barangay Hinebra in the third quarter.
08:27 Overcoming that lead and now the lead is ballooned to eight.
08:32 That's a good answer though coming from Raymond Almazan just to calm things down for the Maragamolds.
08:37 Who are still down by six points, 67 to 61.
08:42 It's like what happened in the first half was contrasting.
08:46 Where another shot by Aguilar, we're in.
08:51 Run to be able to get that lead. Now, it's reversed.
08:54 Maragamon got an early lead in the third, but now they have an eight-point lead.
09:01 Three seconds to score here, Thompson for three, that's good!
09:07 Giving a very comfortable lead here, 12 points for Barangay Hinebra.
09:16 And that is from way down, another turnover for Hinebra.
09:20 Quinto attacking the defense, sends it out, Norbert Torres misses on the triple.
09:28 Quinto is there for the second effort.
09:31 Bong Quinto getting that offensive rebound.
09:35 He knew where the ball would land after the shot of Torres.
09:40 15 to 10 advantage in second chance points for the Maragamolds.
09:44 And Barangay Hinebra was scoreless for about six minutes, bridging the second and third quarters.
09:54 But Ralf Ku still making an impact, that is five triples for Ralf Ku, 15 points in his semis debut.
10:02 But a quick hit coming from Cliff Hodge, well nine minutes and they're down by 11 points.
10:09 Still more than enough as Barangay Hinebra is also struggling with their turnovers.
10:14 Bong Quinto will slam it home!
10:18 One of the things that Miralco needs at this point, his driving to the basket and even his outside shots.
10:26 Got seven points quickly and then has not scored after that.
10:29 Newsome forced to a very difficult shot.
10:32 As he comes up with an air ball, good leak out, Bringo finishes on the other side!
10:38 Hinebra, you know rare times that they will run, they were able to score on that play.
10:45 Finally something from Chris Bankero.
10:48 Chappett is going up against Bankero so they send him the ball and CB is spiked by Chappett.
10:57 Bang Brian pagunas, bang Mark Espejo, the spike coming from Chappett.
11:03 As he erases that shot attempt coming from Bankero but if you're Barangay Hinebra you're okay as long as Miralco also is not making their own baskets.
11:13 Cliff Hodge with the floater, that's good off the back.
11:16 That's a good pick and roll play at the top of the key for Miralco as Hodge was able to score on that floater.
11:22 Miralco bolts, chipping away at what was once a double digit advantage for Barangay Hinebra.
11:30 It's a seven point lead with five minutes remaining in this game.
11:34 Scottie attacks the closeout, Thompson again too unselfish there, it leads to a turnover.
11:43 Bankero ahead, Labb is gone.
11:45 73 again, sometimes you can be a little too unselfish and it leads to a finish.
11:52 So far Pringle has been playing superbly in this game.
11:55 Absolutely.
11:56 Pringle launches and converts and that is why he's here.
12:01 Pringle, one on one against Bankero.
12:06 Pringle with a bounce pass, Christian right back to Pringle, misses the first lob, makes the second one.
12:12 Five straight points for Stan Deman.
12:15 Back to back baskets here for Pringle as he ups the lead to ten for Barangay Hinebra.
12:21 11-7-7.
12:24 First Stan Hardinger, three point shot for Bankero, won't work.
12:27 Rebound picked up by Newsome.
12:29 He turns around for the quick three point shot and that will keep them in this conversation.
12:36 Stomping pop three, no good, the rebound goes to Newsome.
12:40 Chris on the attack, oh denied by Japet.
12:46 Recovery though for Miralco.
12:48 Maliksy another through the way, that's good again!
12:51 Checks in for him.
12:57 But boy before he is subbed out, a big shot coming from Maliksy.
13:01 Thompson to Ralphku, they go inside.
13:05 Christian against Almazan, double team comes for him.
13:07 This is open from Ralphku and he knocks it down!
13:10 Barangay Hinebra looking for a possible dagger right here, right now.
13:17 Pringle with a pass, Christian is hammered and he gets it to drop.
13:26 Christian, Stan Hardinger, he has been quiet with his point production.
13:30 But here in this crucial moment, Miralco needs to score quickly here.
13:37 Newsome on the drive, gets the foul and the basket, that's an end one.
13:42 You focus your efforts on the defensive end, he will not challenge either.
13:48 As Newsome is gearing up for the bonus.
13:52 Yeah, Miralco needs to stop here in this possession.
13:56 If Stan Hardinger touches the ball, they might just foul.
13:58 Oh, almost a steal here.
14:00 What a dive there by Newsome!
14:02 Bankero is ahead, he scores on the layup!
14:05 That's a big play there by Chris Newsome.
14:07 Foul, because they're already in penalty.
14:09 Look at this, how much do you want it, Nu?
14:13 And he showed us that it's not just Cliff Hodge who will score.
14:19 Pringle has been hot.
14:20 Barangay Hinebra.
14:21 Stanley to Ralphku, back to Pringle.
14:24 Attacks the defensive hard, and he scores!
14:27 With 5.5 seconds remaining, Bankero will score another layup.
14:34 But they will not even defend the final 3.2 seconds.
14:39 Coaches already shaking hands at midcourt because you know what?
14:43 This is going to be a long series, Coach E.
14:45 With the way the game has been played today, expect a long series.
