00:00 And it will be Brian Santos jumping it up against Troy Rosario.

00:04 Ball is up and we are off.

00:06 This tip-off is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.

00:11 Coach Alan, we saw how the Converge Fiber Xers struggled with bringing down the ball,

00:22 especially late in the game against Northport.

00:24 Do you think that that is something Blackwater has paid attention to,

00:28 who will take advantage of this ball game?

00:30 Brian Santos from the outside, won't get the bounce.

00:37 Armada with the pick-up and the put-back.

00:39 Small forward from Pangasinan, number 33, Tyrus Hill.

00:44 Power forward from Amolong Cagayan, number 18, Troy Rosario.

00:49 Power forward from San Luis Pampanga, number 26, Brian Santos.

00:53 And at center from Basut Camarines Norte, number 15, Justin Arana.

00:59 NCAA Finals MVP, getting a lot of opportunities under Coach Aldenayo,

01:05 playing about 21 minutes per ball game, 3 points per contest.

01:08 Easy drive for Reynambatak.

01:10 First two points for Reynambatak.

01:12 The last game he was not able to score, but we talked about his number against Naralco.

01:16 27 big points for Reynambatak.

01:21 Arana against a much smaller defender, no chance.

01:24 ...against the younger Brian Santos.

01:27 Tyrus Hill on the move, jumper short.

01:30 Not really his offense, wonderful pull-up jumpers.

01:35 More of a rim attacker.

01:37 As Justin Arana goes reverse.

01:41 ...the leading Blackwater bossing, taking care of business in their first two games.

01:45 Converge on the other side.

01:47 ...looking to miss his shots early here in this game.

01:49 Reynambatak spent his first half for Blackwater, assisting.

01:54 And that is exactly what he does, setting up Bradwyn Guinto for this end-one opportunity.

01:59 ...thought he had an angle to take the shot, but Bradwyn Guinto...

02:04 ...in their first game had seven first-half assists.

02:06 Coach Alden finishing with a double-double, 27 points and 10 dimes.

02:11 In his first game for this franchise, another basket, a one-man show.

02:15 Justin Arana with eight quickly.

02:17 Wow, first five minutes of the scoring of Converge all coming from Justin.

02:22 So let's see what adjustments Blackwater will have defensively.

02:28 Three-point shot and another one for Ray Suerte.

02:31 That's his second.

02:33 I thought they called the hat on who has eight points in this game.

02:39 David drops a double-team, towering over his defender.

02:44 Three-point shot is down for Nambatak.

02:47 Expect Converge to try and fish for that third foul and get him out of this ballgame as quickly as possible.

02:53 Layup is good for Escoto, and Arana could not help out.

02:58 That's really a gamble. But look at this very sharp back-and-pats right here and that ball protect.

03:03 17-10, back to a seven-point advantage for the Blackwater boss.

03:08 A bullhorn.

03:11 Good cut. Shawnee finishes at the cup.

03:16 It might be David posing up here against the smaller Inan Fornillos.

03:20 He faces up the jumper. No good.

03:22 But they will get another attack at it.

03:25 Strong drive. Enough for another basket for David.

03:28 Showing us a lot of body strength.

03:30 David testing the defense of Fornillos.

03:35 Sells for the outside shot. It's good.

03:38 That's a very confident shot right there.

03:40 Sometimes it's difficult to get in the mind space where you can be effective.

03:44 And you know, the thing is, these minutes are usually given to him in the first half.

03:50 In the third and the fourth quarter, you don't see him playing anymore.

03:53 Yeah.

03:54 Meanwhile, it's just all systems go from the three-point range for the Blackwater bossing.

04:00 Fifth three-point conversion now. 5-7. Red hot from the outside as they lead by 13.

04:07 Winston. Jumper's gone.

04:10 Blackwater really looked like Shawnee Winston that time.

04:13 Now, is this going to be another mismatch right here?

04:15 Oh, wide open three. David converts and another one.

04:19 In our first quarter.

04:22 RK Ilagan leading the second unit.

04:26 Another three. Number seven for Converge.

04:29 RK is always ready to take those big shots.

04:32 Just a little space needed for RK for those three-point shots.

04:35 And the confidence boost that he was able to get, you know,

04:38 after picking up from where Nambatak left off.

04:41 Being the best player of the game in their last win.

04:44 They're just playing well right now.

04:47 Hopia with a big-time rejection. RK Ilagan rushing.

04:50 RK. That's a big boy move coming from the small man.

04:54 And the defense of Blackwater and Shawnee Winston just really challenging

04:59 each and every shot of Shawnee here in the first half.

05:01 Another three. Good again.

05:03 Eight three-point shots made already as Melesho continues to miss.

05:10 RK, he has the numbers. Ilagan all the way!

05:14 Wow. Point barrage being done right here by RK Ilagan.

05:19 That's ten! He's got ten points, man.

05:21 Oh my God.

05:23 40 to 15. Yes.

05:26 That is the score right now in favor of the Blackwater bossing.

05:29 As Coach Aldin Ayo will send in four new players at the next opportunity.

05:35 Another block coming from Hopia.

05:37 And then he completes the stop.

05:40 Explosive quarter coming from RK Ilagan.

05:43 James Yap wants to join the party too strong.

05:45 He set it up for himself.

05:47 Is that going to be an assist to yourself, James?

05:50 Bucket pass. James will send it to Kwekute.

05:53 He will try from downtown as well. No good. Good back tap.

05:57 Senna, open for three. It's gone!

06:00 The floodgates are open.

06:02 On the other side.

06:04 That is nine three-point conversions.

06:07 Will this be number ten? No, it won't be for James Yap.

06:10 RK Ilagan really wanting to set up, James.

06:13 Go ahead. Take that shot, Kuya.

06:15 Alex Stockton finally secures their first field goal.

06:20 For Converge, well, it has to start somewhere.

06:24 You cannot stare at this big disadvantage and just drown.

06:28 You have to work on it possession by possession.

06:31 RK Ilagan, the layup is good.

06:34 ...concentrated down side JD Tongkab.

06:37 In the exchange that sent Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser to TNT.

06:40 That's just a big boy move coming from James Kwekute

06:44 scoring against Jerick Balanza.

06:46 And again, that was a very good read.

06:48 There was no help on the baseline.

06:49 He just saw it that he can attack the defense of Balanza.

06:53 Alex Stockton taking matters into his own hands

06:57 with nothing else working right now.

06:59 Balanza with the board.

07:01 And they're trying to go on the run.

07:02 But look at the defense already setting up for Blackwater.

07:05 Balanza finds a way through though.

07:07 As Blackwater making it rain from downtown.

07:13 Here's another one. Number ten.

07:16 They're ten of seventeen from beyond the arc.

07:19 JL De Los Santos goes to the behind the head Basu.

07:24 Brian Santos blocked by the mid.

07:28 Dambada keeps it for Suerte.

07:31 Ray on the drive. One-hander. Won't bounce in.

07:34 Rebound picked up by Caralipio.

07:36 Fourteen points in the first quarter.

07:41 And now that will be ten points in the second.

07:44 Stockton settles for the outside shot.

07:51 That's basically the spot.

07:53 Even the last conference is how they're doing their full court defense.

07:58 That is something that I've been looking for.

08:00 That's a signature of what coach Aldenayo.

08:03 But what about that big three-point shot to end this first half?

08:07 What's able to do against them in their last game and that is with defense.

08:11 Maybe the full court defense, something that they're really so adept with.

08:15 It's something that they can do here in the second half.

08:18 Look at this.

08:19 A couple of blocks just to deny those shaded area shots for the Converge Fiber Xers.

08:26 It's clear that Blackwater, even though they're already ahead comfortably in this matchup,

08:31 have no plans to miss that reverse layup.

08:35 That's why the assist department is something that we have really talked about in the first half.

08:39 Eleven is against only one for Converge.

08:43 The kind of basketball that coach Jeff Cariaso would really want to see was very evident in the first half.

08:50 That was the second assist of the ballgame for not just the player,

08:54 for the entire team of Converge as they located Stockton open for three.

08:59 Quickly erased.

09:00 Going to be a big problem for the White Shirts.

09:02 Again, it's just some effort on defense as we saw there coming from Shawnee Winston with a block and a takeaway.

09:11 That's what the referee calls the offensive foul.

09:14 63-33.

09:16 It's a 30-point lead for Blackwater.

09:20 32 now, courtesy of that.

09:22 And he's just really shining with coach Jeff Cariaso.

09:26 Oh, that is a perfect pass to Troy Rosario.

09:31 Let's make sure that the effort is well worth it.

09:35 This could be a nice battle here behind the back pass.

09:39 Oh! Rejection coming from Tyrus Hill.

09:43 What a steal though from Shawnee Winston.

09:45 Pull-up jumper is good for two.

09:47 Three suerte.

09:50 Five points, early in the third quarter.

09:52 Wants more.

09:53 Gets more.

09:54 And this is one good way, but Hoppe missing on that easy layup right there.

10:00 Alex Stockton, pull-up jumper, good for two.

10:06 Back in the ballgame.

10:09 He was fiery in that second quarter performance.

10:12 Great spin move.

10:13 The English from Jered Itongka.

10:15 Oh, wow.

10:16 That's what you get when every day you practice with Jason Castro.

10:20 So you get to at least do the Jason Castro moves.

10:26 Magdenburg again getting a lot of burn in this ballgame.

10:32 As Fornilios launches and converts from downtown.

10:36 That's a good looking shot right there.

10:38 He was pushed.

10:39 Unfortunately, I think he landed on the leg of Magdenburg.

10:43 And this best move of the game is brought to you by...

10:45 Scoring the quarter by one point, Carlo.

10:48 A good defensive effort though as they force that stop.

10:52 Deshawn Winston, strong move to the hoop for two.

10:55 RK Lagan just making sure that, okay, I'm not going to give you an end one.

11:00 Good finish for Deshawn, Shawnee Winston.

11:05 So again, this has never happened.

11:07 Blackwater and Terrathearma have never led in a team standings to start a conference.

11:11 Doesn't matter how early it is.

11:13 But right now, again, they're showing us that against the teams that are near them in terms of talent.

11:21 Again, all of the teams that were not able to make it to the semifinals.

11:24 They can be competitive in the All-Filipino.

11:27 True, true.

11:29 Four veterans who will land at the number three spot in an all-time three-point shots made.

11:35 Should be an interesting discussion moving forward.

11:38 We'd like to see a lot more three-point shots.

11:41 Not just actually from James, but Ankel is there.

11:45 1 in 46, 16-point lead.

11:48 A milking of the clock for Coach Jeff Carriazo.

11:56 So Blackwater will be alone at the top after the final minute and 30 of this ballgame.

12:02 Concepcion comes up short on the one-hander.

12:05 And obviously, things are going to get tougher for Blackwater.

12:12 They will be going up against stronger opponents.

12:15 But this is a good thing to have.

12:17 The lead.

12:18 So imagine what happens if Blackwater secures two more wins.

12:22 That's maybe one or two away from a playoff spot already.

12:25 And you know, that's just how big their win against TNT was in that game last Saturday.

12:30 So final minute.

12:35 Rip, that's painful.

12:37 Archie, what do you need to give me a foul?

12:43 Archie Concepcion, PBA player.

12:46 He's looking at you.

12:48 Whack!

12:49 Whack!

12:50 Final 14-point lead.

12:56 For Coach Alden, it's tough to find bright spots outside of Alex Stockton and Sean Winston.

13:02 The bid for Blackwater in this match.

13:04 You know, so many candidates actually for Blackwater bossing.

13:07 Of course, you're talking about RK Ilagan.

13:09 You talked about the game of Rayt Nambatak, the leadership.

13:12 And how about...

13:13 ...tell you the real story of how dominant Blackwater was in this ballgame.

13:18 And we will be hearing from our best player of the game and our winning candidate.

13:21 ...games will be since your morale is very high and you have a lot to sustain.

13:42 Like Coach said, you know, we're just going to keep working hard.

13:45 Every game, we're going to play it like it's...

13:47 And staying focused and taking, you know, taking it one at a time as much as that's a cliche, but one day at a time.
