00:00 Ready to get things going and this tip-off is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
00:07 So, Ginebra still looking for their first basket of this matchup.
00:11 Stan Hardinger with a quick crossover.
00:13 Christian had the ball tapped away from him, stolen by Bankero.
00:17 CB to Newsome. Nuno hits the layup on the brink.
00:20 Encouraging his players, just play and don't let that bother you.
00:25 Great hands there coming from Raymond Almazan and an even better finish.
00:30 Looks like a 1-2-2 type of zone defense.
00:35 Three-point shot from Newsome is good and that is the perfect antidote to a zone.
00:40 Yeah. So far, you know, the zone does not bother Miralco as they were able to score seven straight points here in the first quarter.
00:53 Aguilar. Oh, defense is very active coming from the Miralco Bulls.
00:58 Pringo, open momentarily for a three and he converts.
01:01 It's a gamble.
01:04 Yep. And you cannot scramble back to prevent the other opportunities.
01:08 They're baiting him to shoot that three.
01:10 Bankero. Locates Quinto. Three-point shot. Second try. Now it's a make.
01:18 Looks like that will be his role moving forward.
01:22 It will be Almazan whistled with it.
01:24 And going back to that zone defense. So the commitment was not 100% coming from Coach Eric Altamirano on the call.
01:32 Newsome has it. He launches another three. It's good again.
01:36 That's a rebound. Goes to CB.
01:40 Chris. Quick pass. Feets down low.
01:45 Quick pass break points for the Miralco Bulls coupled with their hot shooting.
01:50 Quinto. Jumper from the short corner is money.
01:59 That's the one you were asking for, that post-op against Pringle.
02:03 And I think they saw that in the timeout and they were able to take advantage of it.
02:08 So they now switch on the defensive assignments.
02:13 Pringle swings it. Tenorio. Open from the corner. That's good.
02:19 From the general.
02:21 Alexey to Newsome. They swing it. Quinto fakes.
02:26 Bong. Midrange J. Will fall in.
02:29 Aggressive start for Quinto in this matchup. He has six points officially in this game.
02:36 Yeah. Bong Quinto recognizing that long closeout of Cistan.
02:40 Was able to drive by him. Was able to get that pull of jumper.
02:44 Scoreboard was just a little slow. It's seven points for Bong Quinto.
02:48 A triple into midrange. Jumper's block coming from Bates. Newsome will step out of bounds on this possession.
02:55 What a great block there by Brandon Bates.
02:59 Thompson bounces it over to Ahan Misi.
03:04 Oh! Another big time rejection.
03:08 Eight eleven to nothing as what we saw.
03:12 And you have to give credit to the defense of Miralco.
03:18 Scottie.
03:19 Goes to Christian down low. Kick out pass. Alfu is open. Three point shot is down.
03:25 Decision basket by Panagayan Evra as we saw there.
03:29 And look at that kick out here by Cistan.
03:32 Quick counterattack.
03:35 Good pass to Japet. Defense recovers but not in time to stop it.
03:43 Quinto on the drive. On the half spin. Thompson with it.
03:47 Three seconds remaining. Scottie with a big size advantage. Goal traverse on the back.
03:52 First quarter and somehow the defense of Cistan has been bothering him when they switch on that play.
04:00 This best move of the game is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.

04:16 That is an end one for Maverick Ajan Misi and an opportunity.
04:20 And there by Stan as he saw a backdoor cut by...
04:25 First quarter scoring.
04:29 Close. 33 and 35 percent as Valquito continues shooting well in this ballgame.
04:36 He hits double digits with 10.
04:38 Ringo sends it out to Raspu.
04:41 Into Japet now against Almazan.
04:44 Japet off with Pivot to the other side. Gets an end one.
04:48 As you can see here.
04:50 Went to the middle first. Faked him off and then went baseline and was able to get a foul from Almazan.
04:57 Japet uses the fake. Japet.
05:00 Oh wow. What a block there by Brandon Bates.
05:03 Second denial from Bates. As Valquito is pushing.
05:06 Ball with a drive and a layup.
05:08 Score as Stan is taking a rest right now.
05:13 Also in their favor.
05:18 Good entry pass to Japet.
05:21 Patient move to Japet. He gets another end one opportunity.
05:25 Japet at the line.
05:31 Time around to Pivot foot.
05:33 Japet at the line.
05:35 Actually had a strong start with a couple of early triples.
05:38 But he has since slowed down. Japet in and out.
05:41 And that tip in is good for Scottie Thompson.
05:45 Parangay Hinebras never leading this matchup so far.
05:50 Scottie Thompson ends that with his own end one opportunity.
05:55 Here it is. Japet. This time it's Scottie Thompson.
05:58 Able to get a foul.
06:01 Of that squad. As you can see the numbers in favor of Parangay Hinebra.
06:06 In the offensive rebounding department.
06:08 Finally a basket coming from Cliff Hodge.
06:11 To halt that rally.
06:13 Good drive there by Cliff Hodge.
06:15 Barreling his way in.
06:16 Was able to find that poop in lane to the basket.
06:19 Five point lead for Parangay Hinebra.
06:22 Only twelve points this quarter.
06:24 For Miralco. Stan Hardinger.
06:26 Blocked on the head by Hodge.
06:28 CB is pushing.
06:30 You don't see him post up a lot.
06:32 But that time he was able to score against Eric Dinorio.
06:34 And gets a steal here.
06:36 CB chugging.
06:38 Cliff Hodge with the layup.
06:40 That's the way to run the fast break.
06:43 First half well.
06:44 Almazan settles for the outside shot.
06:47 It's good for three. They take the lead.
06:49 What a ball game we're having here.
06:52 He's being given a lot of space by Japet.
06:54 Almost being there to take the outside shot.
06:56 Great dive from Pringle.
06:57 The forward pass.
06:58 Counter steal for Banquero.
07:00 Maliksin lost the ball from behind.
07:06 But Almazan is there to save the day.
07:08 What a turn of events there.
07:09 It was almost a turnover for Miralco.
07:11 LA asking for a screen from Japet.
07:14 Defense fights over.
07:16 Japet.
07:17 Off the spin and a slap.
07:19 [crowd cheering]
07:21 48-45.
07:27 If you're a metal coach,
07:28 playing with no natural power forward.
07:30 So, Ralph Buu, I think, will be moonlighting.
07:34 As they're big here.
07:36 That will be another end one.
07:37 They took advantage of this mismatch.
07:40 Against Banquero.
07:42 And Japet Aguilar was able to score.
07:44 And get a foul.
07:45 No.
07:47 Almazan offensive foul there by Almazan.
07:48 The push shot is gone.
07:50 Again, challenging the defense of Ralph Buu.
07:54 And that play.
07:55 Anything below that, it's soft.
07:57 As Hodge misses.
07:58 Quinto reclaims the possession.
08:01 He attacks quickly.
08:02 And he gets the end one opportunity.
08:03 That drive.
08:05 And getting a foul for an end one.
08:07 From Scottie Thompson.
08:08 No clean passing lane.
08:15 So, they attack on the other side instead.
08:17 Quinto now has it.
08:18 Hodge also with a size advantage.
08:21 Maliksi wide open for three.
08:23 That's good!
08:24 It's all about playing the mismatch.
08:27 It's a tagging early.
08:28 Waiting for the defense of Barangay Hinevra to react.
08:31 And it led to a wide open three point shot from Alain Maliksi.
08:35 Finally.
08:37 Finally.
08:38 Getting a foul.
08:39 But Ralph Buu with four early fouls.
08:40 With still eight minutes and 46 seconds left here in this game.
08:44 They go inside.
08:46 Jabed!
08:47 Connects.
08:48 And the buzzer.
08:50 That will be reviewed.
08:51 That will be reviewed by our officials.
08:53 As it was already requested by the Mirago Bulls.
08:57 To see if that will count or not.
08:59 Almazan outside.
09:03 They locate Bankero.
09:05 Quick pass inside to Hodge now.
09:07 Beating his initial defender and converting the reverse.
09:10 Good play there for Mirago as Hodge found himself open underneath.
09:14 And was able to sneak in that layup.
09:16 Also hits double digits with ten now.
09:18 Lusum still resting up.
09:22 He will be fresh when he is reinjected into this matchup.
09:25 Ajan Misi.
09:27 The flip shot is good.
09:28 Has the bigger Aguilar on him.
09:32 The tap pass coming from Hodge.
09:36 Three point shot is good for Guinto.
09:38 What a big play for Mirago.
09:41 As they recognized that they were helping out with the high low play.
09:45 And a quick pass by Hodge.
09:47 For the three pointer.
09:48 Touch pass played to perfection.
09:51 Almazan is beaten once again by Stan Hardinger for this end one.
09:56 That will be the fifth personal.
09:58 Look at this.
10:00 How smart is this?
10:01 With the secondary defense coming towards him.
10:04 He located Guinto.
10:06 Good recognition there by Cliff Hodge.
10:10 And Brandon Bates subs for...
10:12 Being defended by the much taller Brandon Bates.
10:15 Quick crossover.
10:16 Ajan Misi lost the ball.
10:18 Lusum completes the stop.
10:19 Guinto with the leak out.
10:21 Guinto with the finger roll.
10:23 Ajan Misi trying to take advantage of the matchup.
10:28 But he lost his grip of the basketball.
10:31 Quick turnover.
10:33 Leading to a quick basket from Bong Guinto.
10:38 Who has exploded for 23 points in this game.
10:41 In favor of Miralco.
10:44 Stan Hardinger reverses.
10:47 What a smart move.
10:49 What a shot there by C-Stan.
10:51 This is playground stun.
10:54 Coming from Christian Stan Hardinger.
10:56 Just knowing where he is.
10:57 No clean looks for Barangay Ginebra.
11:00 Oh they will switch this mid-range jumper.
11:03 Yes finally.
11:05 After so many tries.
11:07 Lusum was able to get that shot in.
11:10 On that same spot.
11:12 On that same spot that he took shots earlier.
11:14 That might convince Barangay Ginebra to alter that ball screen defense.
11:18 As the lead is 7 for Miralco.
11:21 Pringle gets it right back with his own mid-range look.
11:25 On the same spot as where Lusum made that shot.
11:28 4 minutes 20 seconds remaining in game.
11:34 Game number 6.
11:36 Malik Si once again match up against Stan Hardinger.
11:40 Alain goes on the drive.
11:42 The layup is scored with a foul.
11:44 Get a foul.
11:46 And score on that driving layup.
11:49 Storm their way back into this game.
11:52 And arrange our finals cast.
11:54 Or will Miralco force a game 7.
11:56 This coming Friday.
11:58 The scoop layup is a make.
12:00 From Stan the man.
12:02 Big play there by Pringle.
12:04 As he was able to score off that spin.
12:06 Turn around layup.
12:08 Now the defense staying home for Ginebra.
12:14 That's another foul.
12:16 Drawn by Alain Malik Si.
12:17 Jappet shared it's great being teammates with Cliff.
12:20 Because he dives for the ball and does everything on the floor.
12:22 But he can't get it in.
12:24 Because of his competitiveness.
12:26 Again.
12:29 Punishing.
12:31 The mismatches.
12:32 Hard show there coming from Bates.
12:35 Maverick mishandles.
12:36 Stan Hardinger has it.
12:37 Moves to a strong side.
12:39 Christian.
12:40 Finds a way to score.
12:41 Will not pull the trigger just yet.
12:45 We have to give Brandon Bates credit for that dip in.
12:48 Malik Si again.
12:50 Wow.
12:54 Alain Malik Si man on fire in this 4th quarter.
12:57 With 2 minutes remaining in this game.
12:59 14 points in the ball game for Malik Si.
13:01 The push shot is a miss.
13:03 Tip in is a miss as well.
13:04 Ahan Misi.
13:06 To Stan Hardinger.
13:07 9 seconds remaining on the shot clock.
13:09 Christian down low against 2 defenders.
13:11 Coupled up by the defense of Galgo.
13:13 Great block there.
13:14 But a steal by Stompson.
13:16 Scottie against Malik Si.
13:22 Scottie still with it.
13:23 3 point shot is blocked by Alain.
13:28 That's a quick trap.
13:29 Newsom attacks it.
13:30 Newsom misses the layup.
13:32 Almazan fighting for the loose ball.
13:34 Picked up by Ahan Misi.
13:35 And there's a foul.
13:36 That's exactly what you do not want if you're Miralco.
13:39 Newsom saw the trap.
13:42 Saw an opportunity to attack.
13:44 But that last help coming from Japit.
13:47 Enough to bother him.
13:48 And then the rebound was initially touched by Almazan.
13:51 Maverick Ahan Misi though had inside position.
13:55 Gives them less time for Barangay Inebra to come up with a play.
14:00 Oh!
14:01 3 point shot.
14:02 Balls for Ahan Misi.
14:03 In the last possession would have been a game changer for Barangay Inebra.
14:08 But with 12.1 seconds remaining, they need to get two looks at the basket.
14:15 Stan Hardinger looking for Pringle.
14:25 3 point shot is good.
14:26 6.2 remaining.
14:28 Still not over.
14:30 They got the first part down.
14:32 The 3 point shot landed.
14:34 Scottie Thompson, the last ditch effort.
14:36 Will only hit last.
14:38 Game 7 it is.
14:40 FPJ Arena.
14:42 This coming Friday, Miralco and Barangay Inebra will battle it out one more time.
