00:00From Dumaguete at forward, number 8, Calvin Ofdana!

00:04And also at forward, and from Santa Ana, Bampanga, at center, number 1.

00:09How are you liking the improvement in the game of Kenneth Tuffin in their last few contests?

00:15Well, definitely a tough guy, and he's maturing as, you know, time goes on.

00:20These games are really giving him a little bit more experience.

00:23He's understanding, you know, really how to play the game a little bit better.

00:27I was able to talk to him a couple of games ago, and he said he was really looking forward to this ballgame,

00:32because he'll be matched up against Calvin Ofdana,

00:36and he considers him as one of the best in their position, the small forward spot.

00:40I think he's right. Derek Calvin Ofdana is a phenom again.

00:45When he is playing his best ballgame, not having those little dips, he's an amazing specimen.

00:513-0, 2 triples coming from Muyang, and Castro from the corner now.

00:55Salado joins the early three-point party.

00:58Good things will happen after that.

01:01They swing it, Castro fakes, attacks the closeout.

01:04Jason kicks it to the corner, Pogboi for three, that's good.

01:09That's a big shot in the arm for him.

01:11Again, we were talking about him at the start of the telecast.

01:14He's been struggling, or at least in the last game, 3 out of 10 from three-point land.

01:17Didn't show any hesitation on that one.

01:19No hesitation either for Jason Perkins.

01:22Both Brandon and Kelly, when they shoot that shot, they kind of fall away.

01:27They start running down, stay there.

01:31Raul Soyu, the player coming in for Larry Muyang.

01:35Salado locates a cutting Perkins, he backs it home.

01:39That was so strong, and so athletic.

01:42Jason Perkins just hailed his body in midair, and the big lefty kissed it off the glass.

01:48Interesting matchup choice here, coming from coach Jamai Karim.

01:52He has a smaller Salado.

01:55Defending of Tana, Kim Montalvo finds a way to score.

01:59That's a tremendous spin by Kim, going around the bigger defender.

02:08Soyu looking for his option, sends it off to Salado up top.

02:12Uses the ball screen from Perkins, turns the corner, Salado blocked by BGR.

02:17Brandon can definitely get up there with the best of them.

02:22Not the perfect connection between Montalvo and Pogoy,

02:24but Kim looking for offense, step through layup is good for two.

02:30The word I'll use is nifty, that's all you can say.

02:33Two pretty incredible moves from the little guy amongst the big trees.

02:3816-14, TNT taking the two-point lead.

02:42Outside shot, backs home for Soyu.

02:44Yes, and he's hoping for a big one here today.

02:47Montalvo launches, in and out on the triple.

02:51Would have been three straight field goals for Kim.

02:54With seven points, it's like two minutes for him.

02:58Salado, sneaky layup is good against Pogoy.

03:02Pick up the action, the three and a half remaining.

03:04Glenn Kabutin misses from the Perkins, with a rebound.

03:09All of a sudden, nothing falling for TNT after a hot start.

03:13Salado, spacing was not great on that drive.

03:17Perkins will launch and convert from deep.

03:20But he's got to work on getting these stops.

03:23Look at this shot once again.

03:25Double-digit lead versus TNT, that kick out fast lands with Auren.

03:29He launches from deep, only hitting less.

03:33They've been stuck at 16 for a bit now, while Perkins launches.

03:38How about 15?

03:39First quarter point for the hefty lefty.

03:43Post him up, feels he has a size advantage.

03:46Mohorn, ooh, he can't be too casual.

03:49Jason Castro pokes them all free, and Jason will finish with a layup.

03:54Coach Jamaica asking his players to spread out.

03:57Jason, look at him dive for the loose ball.

03:59Castro sends it over.

04:01Kelly Williams with a layup.

04:03Diving for that loose ball.

04:04See, once again, he taps it out.

04:07Kent is a little slow to get to it, as is Perkins.

04:10And he not only gets the steal, he gets the ball right.

04:14And a tough in, hands it off to Mohorn.

04:17These are one of those lineups that can switch a lot of screens for Phoenix defensively.

04:22RJ, second look, it's good from down, down.

04:25They should not have allowed RJ Hazul to take a three,

04:30because you cannot go under the screen again.

04:33Alvin Oftana in the last game against him, never went scoreless in the first and third quarter.

04:38Guess what he has in his first quarter of this game?

04:41Scoreless, nothing yet.

04:42Yep, three-point shot is good though, as Richie has it.

04:47With 16 remaining in their shot clock.

04:48Ribeiro finds space, Richie finishes.

04:52I was just about to say.

04:54Now Perkins has it.

04:57Perkins, a little more mobile against Gallinato.

04:59He pulls up, he spins.

05:01What a finish, 17 points for Perkins.

05:05Really flexing their muscles for this one.

05:08Carrera kicks it out to Henry.

05:11They fake the handoff, Gallinato.

05:13Ooh, what a fine down low to Bogoy.

05:16Graffi, that ball bounces over to Salado.

05:19Kent attacks middle, fakes.

05:21Nice.

05:22Oh, a great pass of his own.

05:25What a dime there from Kent Salado.

05:27Get the assist, Tuffin will get the foul and the possibility

05:31of going to make a three-point play from the free throw line.

05:35What a pass.

05:36Game that maybe we are yet to see from him here in the PBA.

05:39Back to you guys.

05:40Thank you so much for that report.

05:41Certainly will not be surprised with more improvements coming from Kenneth Tuffin.

05:46But right now, Jason Perkins is-

05:48You gotta pay special attention.

05:49Look at this, once again.

05:51Between the legs, gives a little shake and fake.

05:54Nice little 360, goes all the way to the rack.

05:58It wasn't popular back then, Vince.

06:00They haven't invented it.

06:0420-point lead, good extra pass as BGR goes reverse.

06:08Phoenix pushing it forward, Lallata catches.

06:11Oh, but it's taken away by the defense of Brandon.

06:14Counterattack for TNT.

06:16Hostana, three-point shot is good.

06:18Final shot of this first half.

06:21Hostana with a giant step back.

06:24Misses on the three, BGR offensive rebound.

06:27He gets this and one.

06:28That's a big man.

06:30Doing a great job fighting, battling, getting that ball,

06:35being tough, getting knocked around, and still.

06:40In attendance here inside the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

06:44Salado on the run, attacks baseline.

06:46What a fine Tuffin with the finish.

06:50That will be three-point shot number 11 for Phoenix.

06:54Great find as Skelly goes reverse.

06:57Went fancy with it on a layup.

06:59And so settling down, organizing their offense more is vital,

07:02especially here in the start of the second half.

07:04As the TNT coaches back on the smarts of their backgrounds

07:06to work their way up into saving this game.

07:08Thank you for that report, Miss Doreen.

07:10Look at this move.

07:12What a nice play there.

07:14So the lead is down to just 12.

07:17Phoenix will need a basket here.

07:19Oh, this is the opposite of what they need.

07:20A turnover of Tana finishes with a left hand.

07:25You gotta love the acceleration.

07:26Once he got that ball, he just took off like a jet

07:30and finished all the way at the rack left-handed.

07:32And this rally continues for the Tropangiga.

07:36Fuel Masters needing a basket to quell this rally.

07:39Perkins, can he deliver?

07:41Yes, he will.

07:43The hefty lefty just carves out all of that space with that heft

07:48and then goes up with a nice touch with that left.

07:51Kelly Williams wants to go coast to coast.

07:53That's an end one for Kelly.

07:56Call the foul against me.

07:57Let's look at it once again.

07:59Was he there?

08:01It's a tough call.

08:03Those bang-bang calls as they use the hashtag

08:06everything counts and NBA on signal.

08:11Oh, two misses.

08:12But Perkins is there.

08:13Put back his money.

08:16So no blood.

08:17I mean, they got what they were after.

08:20Talking about Phoenix.

08:22Pushing up that lead just a little bit more.

08:24Oren from the corner.

08:26Three-point shot is down.

08:28So last time it was Glantz turning one corner.

08:32This time, Kim Oren does the exact same thing from the opposite side.

08:37Also misses his first two attempts in the first half from downtown.

08:40What a time for it to come.

08:42And just like that, it's a five-point game.

08:46That pass lands with Mokon.

08:47Eight seconds to work with.

08:48RJ uses the screen.

08:50Kabutin on him.

08:51Azul creates space.

08:52Flips it up and in.

08:55Such a strong play.

08:57He really cleared up some real estate just to get that shot attempt off.

09:01Could have been the travel there.

09:03Another three for Kabutin.

09:04Good again!

09:05They are on fire.

09:07That's three threes in a row.

09:10In rapid succession.

09:11And now they're only down by four points.

09:1475-71.

09:15Pokoi with a steal.

09:17RR picks.

09:18RR scores.

09:22What a rally.

09:24Put on by these black shirts.

09:26Amazing job of just working hard.

09:30Getting back into this game the old-fashioned way.

09:32Just working hard and making big plays.

09:34Pokoi to the corner.

09:36Extra pass.

09:36Auren for the lead!

09:39It's good!

09:41You just knew.

09:43Wilting.

09:44Her boils.

09:46Next free throw not dropping for Mokon.

09:48And we will stay tied at 76.

09:50Two and a half left in your third quarter.

09:52Auren is letting it fly!

09:54Oh my goodness!

09:55That's his third in the third quarter.

10:00And goes shot.

10:01He's still NR.

10:03He's just sitting there saying,

10:04Yeah, okay.

10:05Another three.

10:07I know you guys made four in a row,

10:08but I'm not impressed.

10:10Not yet anyway.

10:11Salado to the corner.

10:12Hazul sends it inside to Mokon against Kabutin.

10:15Mokon.

10:16That's his shot.

10:17It will trickle in for JV.

10:21Try to get this dub.

10:23Oktana with a step back.

10:26Shot is money!

10:30I don't think they can shoot much better.

10:31I mean, they as a team are doing pretty much

10:35what Jason Perkins did in the first half.

10:37Pretty much perfection.

10:39And the defense has so much energy now

10:41on the side of TNT.

10:42Salado looking for his options.

10:44That pass stolen by Oktana.

10:46He is ahead.

10:47Cabeza layup!

10:49That will count.

10:51Goal tending versus Ritchie.

10:52And now Ritchie is working with the defense.

10:56He attacks Ritchie.

10:57The left has finished!

10:58It's a beauty!

11:00What a play.

11:00And he's asking for the foul as well.

11:03Yep.

11:08Salado.

11:09Blocked by BGR.

11:10And TNT.

11:11Both teams in desperate need of a win

11:14for them to possibly secure a playoff spot.

11:18Alejandro gets the banger to drop.

11:23Salgado looks like he might be a little injured.

11:25Holding on to that hamstring.

11:27JJ on the attack.

11:28Alejandro!

11:29Blocked by Oren.

11:31Good rebound battle won by Perkins.

11:35Garcia for three.

11:37No good.

11:38Rebound yanked away by Kelly.

11:40And he is pushing.

11:42Williams.

11:43Oh, with a healthy in the layup!

11:46In the fourth, Parther.

11:49As Mokon attacks.

11:50That is a tough layup.

11:52Goes nowhere.

11:54Another no-call.

11:56Referees are letting him play.

11:57Ostana!

11:58Three-point play on the leak out.

12:01It really is.

12:0318 points in the ballgame now.

12:05Could make it 19 with the bonus free throw.

12:10Oren has a few seconds to cross here.

12:12He will get there.

12:13Oren goes on the attack.

12:15It was right there!

12:15And he scores on the lefty layup!

12:19But he will quick to get down.

12:20Oh, another poor pass!

12:22Pogoy!

12:23Ahead!

12:24Pogoy!

12:26And one!

12:27TNT gets the best of it.

12:28A nice go-ahead pass.

12:30Pogoy really all alone.

12:32No need to really get in there and allow him to get a three-point play.

12:39No bueno.

12:40Yep, RR Garcia against Oren.

12:42To Mokon now.

12:43Going middle.

12:44Kick-out pass to RR.

12:45Had to launch from deep!

12:46And it's good!

12:47Big one, big one.

12:48He's not gotten a lot of playing time.

12:51I think that's his second shot of the ball game.

12:53But that's a big one.

12:55Kelly Williams on the attack.

12:57Misses.

12:58And they will be one man down on defense.

13:00Numbers for Phoenix.

13:01They will push.

13:02Mokon!

13:03Lefty layup strong.

13:04Camacho put back.

13:06Nothing there!

13:08Two sorry misses for the Fuel Masters.

13:10Those were chippies.

13:12Pogoy against everyone!

13:15Won't connect.

13:15Kelly, second effort.

13:16And one!

13:19Look at Kelly.

13:20Just a man amongst boys.

13:22Inside.

13:23Doesn't matter to Kelly.

13:25He makes good things happen when he's around.

13:28Just by his athleticism and strength.

13:31And the ability to go...

13:32RR turns the corner on the run.

13:34That was going nowhere.

13:35Oftana with the stop.

13:37Calvin to Pogoy.

13:39RR down low.

13:40Bangs it home!

13:42Great fast break.

13:44Tremendous.

13:47Uchi Rivero answers back quickly on the other side.

13:51Oftana has it on the left side.

13:56Kobuntin, that three again!

14:00107-97 is the count.

14:03A 10-point advantage for TNT.

14:05This has to be quick.

14:07Kenneth Duffin scores one inside.

14:09His face won't hear it.

14:10Must-score situation again for Phoenix.

14:12Alejandro attacking middle.

14:15Left alone.

14:16He's given the lane for the layup.

14:19Not sure.

14:20Would have been easier if we still had player timeouts.

14:23But since we got rid of those, it's going to be tough.

14:29And a smart move there by TNT.

14:32There might be opportunities where they could finish tied.

14:34But TNT will opt not to take a shot anymore.

14:39As they will win this ballgame 108-101.

14:43Just an impressive...
