00:00 This tip-off is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.

00:04 I'm trying to go with some veteran presence in Ian Sangalang.

00:09 I don't really like him as the ball handler in the pick and roll because that's not really

00:15 his strong suit and we're new to steel.

00:17 Well you said they need to be able to get some turnovers.

00:20 A quick start today.

00:23 That's exactly what Coach George said in an interview yesterday.

00:26 He said we cannot be outworked or we'll be in trouble.

00:31 That needs to be a given.

00:32 When you're down 0-2, you need to be the aggressors and here they come.

00:38 Well Mark Barocco's got the first four points.

00:41 Malalong will get it back, gives it to his big man.

00:45 Sangalang will misfire though.

00:47 Here's CJ in the open court.

00:50 CJ this is where he excels.

00:51 You've got to stop that ball.

00:52 For 300 pesos for 30 days.

01:01 Teams do not help coming from the strong side corner but Magnolia, Barocco opting to help

01:07 against that drive by Trace Ross.

01:12 They go back outside.

01:14 Two man game.

01:15 Barocco will get away.

01:21 That's not a good play there coming from a veteran player in De La Rosa.

01:32 Marsho first attempt.

01:34 Short that time.

01:36 Two more lead here by Magnolia.

01:39 No look pass.

01:40 That's excellent.

01:41 I love that.

01:42 I love that.

01:43 That Ian Sangalang just out running Jun Malfajardo in that play.

01:50 You talked about the effort.

01:51 That has to be a given here for Magnolia.

01:56 Marsho finds Jun Mal.

01:57 Jun Mal try to look inside.

01:58 CJ Perez converts.

01:59 That's going to give Coach Chito Bacavito-Leno some confidence not to help too much on Jun

02:10 Mal.

02:11 Steals 4-0.

02:12 11.1% from Vrees in game number one and game number two.

02:19 So for the sake of Magnolia fans, they're hoping to see a different kind of ball here.

02:25 They need to.

02:26 To be able to have any chance of winning this ball game, ball has got to be a factor.

02:33 Go try to take it strong inside.

02:34 Closer to the championship tonight.

02:35 Back to you guys.

02:36 So both are doing the ball game now for the first time.

02:43 Almost at the same time that Calvin Aguevo was fielded in.

02:47 The reason why Lapu doesn't start is because big news because Jericho has been playing

02:54 terrific here in the playoffs.

02:56 Yes he has been.

02:57 He has been the de facto backup point guard here.

03:02 The pace of the game is faster for them as well.

03:06 Right now they are enjoying a seven point advantage.

03:10 But in the open court, Marsho's going to get an easy two.

03:14 Shot clock.

03:15 Still at six.

03:16 Down to three.

03:17 Both right short.

03:18 Great defensive sequence there.

03:19 Coming from Magnolia.

03:20 And Paul Lee.

03:21 In the ball game now.

03:22 Paul Lee for three.

03:23 No.

03:24 And Jericho coming out of nowhere.

03:25 And that's instant impact off the bench.

03:26 That is Jericho.

03:27 You can't get it to Junmar.

03:28 Throwing the ball.

03:29 Couple of moves.

03:48 Fall away works.

03:49 no just sticking to his own defense.

04:00 Poor pass.

04:03 And Geale will finish.

04:05 Dang.

04:06 Through the corner.

04:12 Back to the action here.

04:14 The Beast gets away inside.

04:17 He's now a 13 point lead.

04:21 That's what you need from Calvin.

04:24 Do the unpredictable.

04:25 Do something like dribble length of the floor but both wide.

04:30 That was halfway in for almost another steal.

04:36 Dang with the jumper.

04:37 Big four points.

04:38 They needed that.

04:39 Because there's no Jericho Cruz.

04:40 You need somebody to provide some points off the bench outside of Coliano.

04:41 And Geronte with four spade baskets.

04:48 This is now a 7 to nothing run coming from Magnolia.

04:53 And you said this is not what Magnolia can afford.

04:57 Bucket pass inside.

04:59 Sanggalang scores.

05:01 Halalon has been a masterful orchestrator here for Magnolia on both ends of the floor.

05:09 Look how far he is from Crisnos.

05:14 Dang to the wing.

05:15 Troliano for three.

05:16 Bang.

05:17 Those are the defensive lapses that you cannot afford to make if you're Magnolia.

05:25 They set up Junishio.

05:28 He's capable of that.

05:29 Oh yes.

05:30 If you're Alice Junishio, you have to be able to stop Geronte one on one.

05:42 Dang's jumper is going to drop.

05:45 He's got six points already.

05:47 That's really the game plan.

05:51 To go under against Geronte.

05:54 Nice play.

05:56 Again he finds the open Sanggalang.

06:03 Troliano another three.

06:07 Not that time.

06:08 Junmar, easy put back.

06:10 No.

06:11 But Dang's there.

06:12 And he'll miss from point blank range.

06:15 Chance once again here for Magnolia to increase their lead.

06:19 Halalon puts it up and scores once again.

06:22 Yes.

06:28 And now they're back in the series.

06:30 At least in the first two games.

06:31 In the first two quarters rather.

06:33 And let's see if they can sustain this up to the end of the game.

06:37 Excellent stuff, Coach RG.

06:38 We're going to hear from you a little bit later on.

06:41 Vasilis was just too far away from both right in that last play.

06:47 CJ Perez will miss fire.

06:51 The veteran is in.

06:54 Mark stops, pops, hits.

06:57 Look how far Junmar is.

06:58 A little in and out dribble there from Baroca.

07:01 And we all know how good a floater game Mark Baroca has had in his entire career.

07:12 Shot clock is at three.

07:14 Perez hits a three.

07:18 Sorry, miss for De La Rosa.

07:22 Marcio finds Benny.

07:24 Benny inside.

07:25 That'll drop.

07:29 Once again, welcome back to Rivalry Reborn.

07:33 And here is another two points inside the pin.

07:42 They kick it out.

07:43 De La Rosa.

07:44 Bang.

07:46 And here's the action.

07:49 Go to the post with both right.

07:51 When it's Tyler Bay defending him.

07:53 But great job there by Tyler Bay.

07:56 But we have not seen something like that with Junmar in a long while here.

08:01 CJ will launch.

08:02 Missed fire from three.

08:04 And here's Gio once again.

08:06 Forcing the action.

08:08 And he steals another two points.

08:11 They push it forward.

08:13 CJ.

08:15 Over to Ross.

08:16 Ross converts.

08:18 First two points of the game here for Chris Ross.

08:21 They've been daring him to shoot all game long.

08:24 That time he did a good job in cutting.

08:27 Well, he says, let me take it from point blank range.

08:29 I can't miss from here.

08:33 De La Rosa's going to score over Ross.

08:36 But when they have a chance, they're still scoring in transition.

08:42 Baroque has to give it up.

08:46 It's with Jerome and he converts.

08:50 Manolo's going to win that one.

08:53 And they're going to get another possession.

08:57 Lee finds Bay.

08:59 And Bay with a slam.

09:03 Falling for motion here.

09:05 They go to both right.

09:07 And he scores.

09:11 That's the jamming gun to that play.

09:14 Inside to both right.

09:16 And now let's see if both right can gain confidence from that.

09:18 Because he's stronger than Tyler Bay.

09:22 Smart move there from the Beast.

09:26 And I like the way Magnolia selectively gone to the low post here.

09:34 Now the Beast tries to attack.

09:37 Will lose it.

09:46 Here comes Tyler Bay.

09:48 Trying to answer right back.

09:50 And does.

09:53 And Bay only has one personal foul so far.

09:58 Finally getting away there is Paul Lee.

10:03 And look at both right.

10:07 Look that tired in his entire stint here in the PBA.

10:10 Wow.

10:12 What a steal by CJ.

10:16 Well, any good defender with a lot of pride would not want to give up an easy layup.

10:22 And that's why Gio.

10:25 The Pyramid have actually lost a lot of possible points because of missed free throws.

10:29 Yes.

10:33 Barocca.

10:34 Kisses it off the glass.

10:35 That's money.

10:42 Once again.

10:44 Kissing it off that glass.

10:48 You know, Mark is usually not this aggressive on the offense.

10:51 That's why I really truly believe that this is part of the game plan that they want Barocca to score a lot of points here.

10:58 Against the bigger defense of San Miguel.

11:03 Joneisha for three.

11:04 Bang.

11:06 Orchestrating his team's offense.

11:10 Gets away.

11:12 Gets denied once again by the defense of Tyler Bay.

11:18 Joneisha puts up another three and hits.

11:22 And he's got his shoulders slumped here.

11:27 Let's see if they can pick it up here.

11:29 Final seven minutes.

11:30 Paul Lee says it doesn't matter.

11:34 Three huge three-point shots in the fourth period.

11:39 And Coach Sheen is just pushing the right buttons.

11:42 He puts in Paul Lee.

11:43 He scores, makes a three.

11:44 Puts in Alex Joneisha.

11:45 Makes a couple of threes.

11:47 Barocca comes in.

11:48 Hits a basket.

11:53 But Boatright looks spent.

11:57 Tyler Bay is going to lose it.

11:58 And it falls right in the hands of Ian Sangalam.

12:03 There's Paul Lee.

12:05 Given space.

12:06 And this is just excellent adjustment because Benny Boatright for the very first time seems vulnerable.

12:12 He's struggling from the field.

12:13 He only has 16 points across his name.

12:16 Despite the defense of -- of course the defense of Bay, you see that it is just an incredible tenacity.

12:26 And also forced turnovers, six turnovers also because of the defense of the import of Magdolia.

12:32 And the other thing is the way they're defending the three-point area.

12:35 Only five three-pointers so far for San Miguel.

12:38 Tyler Bay averages at least 30s as far as scoring is concerned.

12:42 But very few imports will buy in the game plan that asks him to practically become a defensive player in today's game.

12:52 But that's how you should win.

12:55 How they can win.

12:56 Because he is the only matchup here for Benny Boatright.

12:59 And Tyler Bay has embraced that role in today's game.

13:02 And he has played the Boatright pretty much the entire game here on the defensive end.

13:08 La Rosa's going to score once again.

13:12 Still a 12-point lead here.

13:14 Enjoyed by Magdolia.

13:17 Trolliano for three.

13:18 A little bit too strong.

13:20 That was a good look.

13:22 Certainly something that Trolliano can hit with consistency.

13:27 And here comes Tyler Bay in the open court, says, time to score.

13:31 And that rest that he had in the beginning of the fourth quarter is doing wonders for him.

13:38 Boatright once again.

13:43 That's the kind of defense that Magdolia has done today.

13:51 Pauly kisses it off the glass.

13:55 That was against the defense of Chris Ross.

14:00 Now the lead is back to 11.

14:02 And time's running out on the Behrmann.

14:05 You're right about that.

14:08 And they need something quicker here.

14:09 Chris Ross, they gave this shot to him all game long and all game long.

14:13 Chris has not made a three.

14:16 Dilma Fajardo with an offensive rebound and put back.

14:20 Mathematically still possible.

14:22 But expect the hotshots to really milk this clock.

14:25 And that's what Mark Palacos is going to do.

14:27 He's not going to make a mistake here.

14:31 In these situations, I think it's an early shot.

14:36 Barroco with a jumper.

14:40 Dang with a jumper, overshoots.

14:46 Boatright left open for this one.

14:48 Finally gets a three to drop.

14:55 And game three in the books.

14:58 - Cool.
