00:00 >> It's not an easy road that they have embarked on.

00:04 43 out of 44 teams that have gone up 2-0.

00:08 That's the effort that Coach Jemike is looking for.

00:12 >> Driving to the mid-range and he just took two steps straight back.

00:15 The range of three.

00:17 >> Baroka on court Salonwa and eight points.

00:22 >> Momentum from being ahead by as much as 13 points in the first half

00:25 and losing by 18 points only showed how out hustled they were by this young Phoenix team.

00:30 For Coach Ito it all boils down to effort and defense.

00:34 >> Original thought with James Lapu.

00:36 Again, what they're missing for me is that domination inside.

00:40 >> Yes.

00:41 >> They got some tall guy, you know, Rocky Rivas, but not a guy who will really dominate inside.

00:45 >> Love to see that again, but meantime, look at that.

00:49 Look at that.

00:50 Shot knocked down to 14. Baroka has it. Key on him.

00:55 Gets it out to Abu. That jumper is good.

00:59 >> Big shot. Another guy who can really produce a little bit different than it really is.

01:04 But this is a shot once again. Abu.

01:07 Trotter draining it from the top.

01:10 >> Down to seven.

01:13 And the one-handed jump from a far layup of Mark Baroka.

01:17 >> That's wicked.

01:19 >> 12 points for Mark Baroka, the coffee prince.

01:23 >> Kick out to Ahan Misi.

01:27 Baroka.

01:29 To Joniso. Challenge shot there, but still he made it over Alejandro.

01:34 >> So many kinds of weapons and steadiness for his team, but tonight he's not shooting the ball well.

01:39 He's got to figure out a way to get the ball in the hole.

01:42 Zero points for him. Maybe he can take a lesson or two from that guy.

01:46 >> We're going to check that again in slow-mo.

01:49 Using that screen by Lapwood. Over Williams.

01:52 Boom. Nothing but a bottom of the net for Mark Baroka. They're up by 16.

01:58 Paulie has it. It's a three-on-one break.

02:00 To Baroka. To Bay. And it goes in.

02:03 What's a bonus free throw coming up?

02:06 >> You're going to foul. You've got to make sure.

02:08 >> Bay makes him pay.

02:11 Good, unselfish three-on-one.

02:13 It almost looked like one of those drills you run in practice.

02:19 >> Bay, thanks for that info, by the way.

02:21 Meantime, Paulie from downtown.

02:23 Boom!

02:26 >> Now they've got a lot of guys going.

02:28 Now I think -- >> Hugemongous.

02:31 >> This came all the way from the Skyway or even Calox.

02:35 Another offense here for Magnolia.

02:40 No hamstring problem for Mark Baroka.

02:43 >> And that.

02:47 >> Sakalana.

02:48 For to shoot. Baroka. Uncorks a three.

02:51 That is a backbreaker there.

02:55 >> Bang, bang, bang.

02:57 Glimmer of light now for Phoenix as we look at that --
