00:00 Well, because the mindset there Gino is really to give everyone an opportunity.
00:04 Now this tipoff is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
00:08 First possession of the game with the beer man.
00:10 And he made about 95% of them during the warm-ups.
00:15 I mean that's a big weapon that Big Bo needs against Junmar.
00:18 And Fajardo scores on the other end.
00:21 Those are like...
00:22 You know, those are like Alvin Patrimonio moves,
00:26 those quick, great pivot moves that Junmar is doing.
00:30 And to think that he's 6'10" without that kind of footwork,
00:34 he's totally unstoppable for me.
00:35 Perez puts it up and in!
00:38 Another guy who can just like go left and right.
00:41 The game is just so fast, Gino.
00:43 Before you can turn your head, they're already on the opposite side.
00:48 You have to pause because they're already going the other way.
00:50 Ross.
00:52 Free ball on the way here by the Don.
00:56 And a goal!
00:57 They're going hard, they're attacking the basket.
01:03 They're very aggressive to start things out.
01:05 That's a 3-3 pointer right there by Big Bo.
01:08 Karakut in the game here for Coach Yang.
01:11 Karakut still with it.
01:12 Nice pass there.
01:13 Good fast break for Adrian Nocum and Araynershan.
01:17 Again, I would always revert back to that Therafir McGee.
01:21 That's right.
01:21 And of course, this fast break attack here.
01:23 Isaac Goh was the man for Therafir Madere.
01:27 Yes.
01:27 Forcing Jumar out of the feint.
01:29 Fast, Keith Dattu scores down low.
01:32 Araynershan and Laszlo Feinter, they are within 1.
01:34 21-20 with 2.39 left to go here in the opening period.
01:40 Two-second differential between the game clock and the shot clock.
01:43 Karakut.
01:45 Karakut gets all the way to the basket,
01:47 stuck by Motau Tuwa.
01:49 Here comes Terrence Romeo.
01:50 The other one on Karakut.
01:52 Clarito.
01:54 Attacking the defense of Kalyana.
01:55 Puts it up and in.
01:56 He uses that body so well when he lunges forward
02:00 and then after that pivot, he can definitely elevate.
02:03 Motau Tuwa.
02:06 Big Mo.
02:08 Over to Simon.
02:09 Back to Big Bo.
02:11 Motau Tuwa against Dattu.
02:12 Motau Tuwa puts it up and gets the bounce.
02:15 I thought for a while there, Mo was about to get stuck.
02:18 But because of that pivot and that size,
02:21 he was still able to extricate.
02:23 Karakut.
02:24 Stuck once again by Motau Tuwa.
02:26 Are really executing so well.
02:28 Clarito.
02:29 Working on Enciso.
02:30 Clarito.
02:31 Nice pass to Demiuses who finishes.
02:33 That's how Clarito, how effective he is.
02:37 He can score and then he also plays within the system.
02:41 On the lead now.
02:42 Back with the Elasto Painters.
02:43 29-27.
02:45 Romeo lets it fly from deep.
02:47 Once again, it's a miss.
02:52 Jericho still with it.
02:53 Nice pass.
02:54 Over to Big Mo Tau Tuwa who stuffs it in.
02:57 Mo is having a great night.
02:58 There's that play once again.
03:00 And this move.
03:02 It's deep.
03:03 It is from his bench.
03:05 Tau Tuwa.
03:08 I thought it was going to be another jam there by Big Mo.
03:11 Here's Asisto.
03:15 Anton lets this fly from deep.
03:17 Drills it.
03:20 That's the strength of Anton Asisto's game.
03:22 He knows that he's the type of player that has a good feel to
03:25 the game by not forcing anything and simply making the right
03:28 reads.
03:28 He said for them to get back in this series.
03:30 Lassender.
03:31 Marshall against Il Di Fonso.
03:34 Big to big action.
03:37 Fajardo.
03:37 You can't stop him when he gets that kind of position.
03:39 It's a wonderful play there.
03:41 He's not really getting enough points, but let's take a look
03:43 at this high-low play.
03:45 Here comes Marshall on the break.
03:46 Belga to beat.
03:47 Over to Grondial.
03:48 Back to Marshall.
03:49 Off the glass and in.
03:51 Great run of that play.
03:53 Grondial and Junmar Fajardo.
03:55 And of course another play, great play there coming from
03:59 Bratibus.
03:59 Game 3.
04:01 Q3 has begun.
04:03 Belga over to Caracol.
04:05 Back to Big Mo.
04:06 Belga lets it fly from deep.
04:09 Money.
04:09 Fourth three-pointer in the game.
04:12 Belga.
04:15 Over to Clarito.
04:18 Belga for three.
04:19 Got it again!
04:21 A lot of contributions coming from Big Mo.
04:24 Sends it over to Junmar Fajardo against Belga.
04:28 Here's a double-team.
04:29 Back out to Ross.
04:30 Three-ball on the way.
04:31 Back-to-back threes for Ross.
04:33 And Ross would hit one right there as well.
04:39 The back-to-back threes for Ross.
04:41 Junmar credits it all to his teammates.
04:43 He said it might seem like he's the one carrying his team
04:46 on defense, but it's actually the other way around.
04:48 They're always communicating with each other.
04:50 And the most humble human beings that you could ever meet.
04:53 I mean, of course, Keith Datu is really needed to hit those
04:56 outside shots, but going back to Junmar.
04:59 Ticket max rather, dot PH.
05:01 Datu, he hit two threes already.
05:06 And that's the third one for Keith Datu.
05:08 That's really going to keep Junmar thinking right now.
05:12 So the only challenge is, look, he's just really trying to
05:15 push Junmar.
05:15 So right there, he did a very good job.
05:17 Once Junmar backs down with that leg.
05:20 Keith Datu is with him because he's just so strong.
05:23 Almost a steal there by CJ Perez.
05:25 Look at the hustle of CJ Perez.
05:27 Wow.
05:28 Marcio, three-ball, money!
05:31 Quick five-point or seven-point swing.
05:35 Wow.
05:35 I mean, in the blink of an eye, the San Miguel Beerman put
05:39 back that lead back up to six.
05:41 And Santi Santelian said, "Wait, hold that thought."
05:47 73-78 in favor of the Beerman.
05:50 Caracas would somehow get all the way to the basket with
05:54 very little resistance there.
05:56 Very simple play and yet very effective.
06:00 Troiano will attack.
06:04 Troiano to the cup, puts it in.
06:06 The hoop and a harm for Don Troiano.
06:09 That's why he just literally just went by everybody when
06:13 he saw the lane wide open.
06:14 A little late to get there.
06:16 Jericho.
06:17 Jericho, skip pass over to Ross, wide open for three.
06:22 He lets it fly.
06:23 Another one for C. Ross!
06:25 Wow.
06:27 Already through the years that he can knock down shots
06:30 from the three-point range.
06:31 Chris Ross and the San Miguel Beerman hitting from the
06:36 outside right now as they go up 84-75 with 2.46 left to
06:42 go here in Q3.
06:44 Marcio.
06:48 Puts it on the floor.
06:50 Lassiter, lets it fly.
06:51 Three ball on the way.
06:52 Another one.
06:53 You know, Marcio Lassiter through the years.
06:59 I mean, he's getting up there in terms of the most
07:03 three points made and he's going to get it.
07:05 He's going to get it sometime in the near future.
07:08 And he even matched the one of Jim Jalapagos.
07:12 Wow.
07:14 Let's take a look at this move right there.
07:16 Jericho.
07:17 Dancing with Clarita, both fall down.
07:21 Cruz picks it up, loses it over to Mamu.
07:24 Here comes Nkocum all the way to the cup for two.
07:27 Persistent base off.
07:30 You just have to continue pressuring.
07:31 With 1.09 left to go here in the third quarter.
07:36 Relentless defense turning into offense there for Nkocum
07:41 and company. Finds Jericho, skip pass over to Perez.
07:44 Perez, well Sky, stopped by Datu.
07:47 Here comes Nkocum on the break, sends it over to Mamu.
07:51 Back to Nkocum.
07:52 Four point game.
07:54 Here's Mamu.
07:55 He faked everybody, but he can't complete that shot.
07:59 Perez.
08:01 CJ, stepping on the gas.
08:04 CJ all the way to the cup for two.
08:06 Keith Datu right at the buzzer.
08:10 CJ Perez in the open court.
08:12 Very difficult to stop as everybody knows as the San
08:15 Miguel Deer men enjoy a 91 to 85.
08:18 Really having a great scoring quarter.
08:20 This is the same kind of game that San Miguel employed in
08:24 that third quarter breakaway in game two.
08:26 Nkocum skies and the layup is good.
08:29 Oh, he's really fun to watch.
08:31 Oh, yes.
08:32 Yes, he's definitely entertaining to watch.
08:34 He's definitely an athlete and something that he can make
08:37 use of as he continues to play and become a superstar here
08:41 in the league.
08:41 Junmar.
08:44 Pajardo.
08:45 Stopped there by the defense of Santi Santelian.
08:49 Well, Santi never gave up there.
08:51 Nkocum jumped for that one and goes all the way to the
08:54 other side, that finger roll right over Motautua.
08:58 He told them plain and simple that they weren't using
09:01 their heads and weren't thinking about, thinking smart
09:03 about their plays.
09:04 After some pretty intense discussion, Coach Yang walked
09:07 out frustrated and Gabe Norwood had to step in.
09:10 He reminded his squad that they're still in this and that
09:12 they have to be ready to get the lead back. Back to you,
09:14 Gino and Coach Eric.
09:15 Thank you for that report, Cavs.
09:18 J.M. Amuyak scores in that layup.
09:20 Needed for the younger guys to really understand why coaches
09:25 Here's Caraco.
09:29 Let it fly from deep.
09:31 Three balls, money.
09:31 Wow, what a nice shot there.
09:35 That was Rainer Schein only down by one.
09:37 They continue to battle here, Gino.
09:39 You gotta admire the way they're really trying to pull
09:42 this through.
09:42 That is a tough layup.
09:45 It's no good.
09:46 Here comes Rainer Schein on the break once again.
09:49 That is Ildefonso who scores on the fast break.
09:54 And now the Rainer Schein and Las Campanas grab the lead.
09:58 Caraco over to Mamu.
10:01 Step back three balls, too strong.
10:05 Terrence with a rebound.
10:06 Romeo trying to get going.
10:12 Terrence, tough shot, puts it in.
10:14 Terrence is going to make a push and call.
10:16 Let's take a look at this.
10:17 Terrence.
10:19 He's just got so many moves.
10:21 We are nearing the critical stages of this ballgame.
10:24 Troiano.
10:26 Gone.
10:28 That's so good.
10:31 Six seconds to shoot here for San Miguel.
10:34 Terrence.
10:34 Still with it.
10:37 Somehow wiggles free from everybody and puts it in.
10:41 Well here in this game, he kind of struggled from the
10:43 outside in the first half.
10:44 But he's starting to get going here in the critical stages
10:48 as Pigbo Belga continues to be hot from the outside.
10:53 I was looking at him a while ago when Andre Caracut missed
10:56 the three-point shot.
10:57 He was asking for the ball.
10:59 That's right.
10:59 And that's the reason why.
11:00 Absolutely.
11:01 One possession game.
11:03 Fajardo, turn around, puts it up.
11:06 Not going to get the throw.
11:07 Troiano will turn the negative into positive.
11:10 Here comes Larito.
11:12 Over to Noku.
11:13 They find Mamu.
11:14 Three in transition is going to be a miss.
11:17 Santi Santillan, stolen there by CJ Perez.
11:20 Perez challenges the defense.
11:23 San Miguel Bierman now make this a two-possession game.
11:26 Here's that move once again by CJ Perez.
11:29 And that's stolen by Bo Belga.
11:35 Jumar actually wasn't looking.
11:36 Mamu pulls up.
11:39 Got it.
11:40 Four minutes and 30 seconds left in the game.
11:45 Still a long time here.
11:46 Yep.
11:46 And another steal here by Rainer Schein.
11:50 Carito puts it on the floor.
11:52 Stop there by Marshall.
11:53 Wow, what a nice defensive stop there by Marshall.
11:57 Although Rainer Schein is complaining that he tagged him in the arm.
12:00 Perez sends it over to Troiano.
12:04 Don, all the way to the basket, puts it in.
12:07 Wow.
12:08 You know, that left and right.
12:10 You know, players who you can use the left and the right.
12:13 Finger roll, wow.
12:15 Very hard to read, very hard to stop.
12:17 Six-point game.
12:21 Here's Noku.
12:21 Stolen by Jumar.
12:23 Counter steal by Rainer Schein.
12:26 Mamu, eye in the sky is completed by the Elasto Painters.
12:30 It's like a reversal of roles.
12:32 Where you see the smaller guy being the one that's being given the alley-oop.
12:37 3.45 left.
12:41 Four-point game in favor of San Miguel.
12:44 Fajardo against Belga.
12:46 Out to Perez, puts it on the floor.
12:48 Perez puts it up and in.
12:50 There's that move.
12:54 That alley-oop pass, nice, no look as well.
12:56 Eight seconds to shoot here for San Miguel.
12:59 Terence, dancing with Garrido.
13:01 Terence puts it on the floor.
13:03 15-foot jumper's money.
13:05 He's just such a talented player overall.
13:11 Another stop there by San Miguel.
13:14 Mamu.
13:17 They find Santi.
13:20 Three ball is big.
13:23 They needed that badly.
13:24 Waiting for the Fajardo screen.
13:27 Terence.
13:28 Sends it over to Marshall.
13:30 Three ball is money.
13:32 Marshall Lazarder climbing up the ladder of the best three-point shooters,
13:39 or most three-point shooters rather I should say here in the Philippines.
13:43 Just about when you're thinking that you can bring this game down and win,
13:48 give you a chance to win,
13:49 Marshall hits a crucial three.
13:53 Santi scores right there.
13:54 But there's only 26 seconds left to go.
13:57 Five-point game.
13:59 This is doable, but it's going to be tough.
14:01 Terence will put this up and that might be the final nail in the coffin for game number three.
14:08 There's so many,
14:10 you know, great players on the part of San Miguel that can really score,
14:15 especially when they need it the most.
14:18 You know, Junmar Fajardo did not dominate in this game.
14:22 As Stanislao Romeo wanted to give his hometown crowd another thing to cheer about here with a three.
14:28 Torito will take this and it's going to be a miss.
14:31 And that's going to do it.
14:33 But, Coach Yang is not happy about that.
14:38 You see him.
14:38 - Don't know Terence, yes. - Yeah.
14:40 I see Coach George was already apologizing for the three-point shot towards the end game.
14:46 But that--
