Transcript

00:00 He's one of the best in terms of steals throughout the PBA season and also one of the top defenders in terms of perimeter

00:06 Lockdown matchup has been shining through the adversity

00:10 Justin Arana and Bryan Santos are the constants for coach Ayo

00:15 Here in the Philippine Cup as Arana knocks in a six-point shot. One three-point dunk

00:20 But Monson very content attacking the basket now a six

00:27 And Arana just went to the other lane. I think he didn't get enough elevation. You can see his frustration

00:32 Drive inside the little bump from Arana. Arana said that there's no traveling.

00:41 In favor of the stalwarts in the swing

00:43 Ended the quarter 46-39 talking about the first quarter in favor of the blue shirts

00:48 The turnaround. Yay, that is good. You know that I love watching Arana be part of the rotation of Barangay Ginebra

00:57 He was really able to

00:59 sharpen his skill sets while playing for

01:02 the gin kings in the PBA 3x3. But I saw this in the UAP 3x3, he's really good. Deadly

01:09 But a much improved player. That's why he made it to Ginebra's roster. Now he's one of the top young players in the PBL present

01:17 He's gonna shoot a bonus

01:19 Over a find inside and it is Arana with an easy two. Between Monson and Aurel

01:31 Stockton thought about it and Arana goes in for another easy two

01:39 Not all of them, but he's good. His timing is good. He can play volleyball

01:46 Did you see that? Arana finding a way to get it in.

01:49 The greats rather 16 fourth quarter points for them. A total of 13 meanwhile for the blue shirts make that 18-14 greats

01:57 possession ball game

02:00 There you go. Mismatch here Arana going to work inside. He is such a smooth operator

02:05 That's how it looks. Look at Arana being guarded once again by Aurel. And they got in and out for the four-point play

02:12 But then Arana gets the offensive rebound and the putback. Strong point lead here

02:19 Three possession ball game even with a four-point play. But Arana has been unstoppable here on the board.

02:25 Good game.
