03:11Phoenix after being out a couple of games as Andrew Karam back-to-back threes for Miralco

03:17that missed three-pointer by Hito. Afi Verano strong move goes for the reverse

03:25cross the foul. Take a look at it one more time. Very effective play so far very simple play for

03:34the Fuel Masters. Back to the postseason after a very impressive Commissioners Cup

03:40where they were one of the last four teams in the Commissioners Cup. They really had a good

03:46Commissioners Cup performance. Well they also had a good import. Bodies on the

03:52floor as that was a sorry miss by Torres.

03:59Perkins for three. You can't tie the game. Battle for the rebound ends up with Hito.

04:11Hito what a crossover. Kicks it out air black wide open three. That's good for AB. Back to Jason Perkins.

04:16Two to three that is too strong. Verano battling for the

04:22rebound. Tuffin wide open. Tuffin drains it. We all know what Chris can do at this time.

04:29Attacks again. Two times can't go for Banquero. Battle for the loose ball ends up with Salado.

04:34Salado putting on the moves and that gets erased by Black. There's gonna be a foul against the

04:41Bolts. Hodge one more time. No. Hodge kicks it out air black. Banquero loses control. AB wide open

04:50three. Yes. That is good for Aaron Black. Being in the league for four years going on five already

04:55Aaron believes that there will always be a chance and it's just a matter of taking things one game

04:59at a time. Andre and Coach Eric backing guys. Back to a three-point game. RJ Azul. Two to three.

05:09He's feeling it. Yes. Back to back three to tie the game by Azul. Perkins against Hodge. Go to RJ.

05:17RJ fires away. Yes. That is good for RJ Azul. Way to give that ball to the player with the hot

05:26hand. Zero run by the Fuel Masters. This capped it off. A scorching hot RJ Azul beats the second

05:37quarter buzzer. Good defense by Marato to recover. Salado finds a lane. Drives inside. Gets the basket

05:47to go. Solid outing for Richie in the first quarter. Stuffin seems to like this matchup.

05:54Spins. What a move by Dusab. What a move there. Really waiting for the right time. Getting a good

06:03position in the post and scoring against Stuffin. Richie gets erased by Hodge. That time Hodge,

06:12Cliff Hodge was able to time his block on the drive of Richie Rivero. Salado. Two man game with Perkins.

06:27Spins. Kicks it out. Muyang. Puts the ball on the floor. Muyang sails in for the layup.

06:33The timing he caught. He got Brandon Bates off balance of the closeout. He was able to attack

06:40that and score. Guero swings it out. Air Black not shy to shoot. That's another three for Air

06:48Black. Marchillion three-pointer from Miralco to cut the lead to three. It's his third three-pointer

06:54of this ballgame. Muyang, he can shoot this. Too strong this time. Richie skies high for the rebound.

07:01Again, Miralco not doing a good job. Blocking out and giving another possession to Phoenix.

07:09And that's too easy for Kenneth Stuffin. Rolling to the basket. Yes, Phoenix finding their range.

07:16Being able to get good shots off their offense. Black wide open. Yes, another one for three for AB.

07:31Oh, Muyang gets it. Again, second possession for Phoenix. Unfortunately, they turned the ball over.

07:40Richie really trying to challenge Hodge. Hodge has been playing Richie Rivero well. This is for the time, the lead.

07:46Attacking. Oh, that is a goal for Rivero. Hodge pushing the pace. Drops it off to Bankero. Easy layup.

07:57And that's being started off with the defense of Brandon Bates. Again, a good screen there to get

08:08Bankero open. Posting up Muyang. Unfortunately, he missed that shot. Oh, that gets spiked by Bates.

08:20But, you know, he'd leave it to do a lot of, you know, Miralco has a lot of scores. He's been hesitating.

08:26Yeah, he's been hesitating on those open looks. Again, Brandon Bates there, but good follow-up

08:34there by Larry Muyang. Richie asking for a foul. Good thing his teammate was there for the cleanup.

08:39Three minutes remaining here in the third period. For Black, they go to Bankero. He's been hot.

08:48He's close by his defense. Look at Richie getting from behind. Rivero drops it off. Alejandro for three.

08:57Yes, sir! For JJ Alejandro. That's what you're going to get from JJ Alejandro. Those very important

09:03three-pointers to cut this lead to two. A big, another small run here by Phoenix. Cut the lead

09:10to keep that lead closer by Miralco. And another steal by Richie. Goes all the way. Gets the basket plus the foul.

09:22What a steal. What a read by Rivero. That's Lasal on Lasal crying.

09:28Yeah, oh there you go. That's a foul. As Richie Rivero, after that report, misses the three-point play opportunity.

09:37Doesn't make the free throw. Quinto attacking. Look at that beautiful pass by Bob Quinto.

09:45Ball swing. Verano head down, drives inside, gets the ball, take it away.

09:51Newsome, sky's eye. Layup is good for Chris Newsome.

09:54Alejandro shoots a three. Gets to the rim, doesn't go. Miralco now with a chance here.

10:03They're pushing it. Maliksi, wide open. Yes, finally hits a three. His first three points in the game.

10:12Against Nguyen, speed advantage goes to Banquero. Drives the middle, kicks it out to Quinto.

10:19Much closer jump shot. Still no go for Quinto. Hodge gets the basketball. Maliksi, a lane for three. Yes.

10:28Two seconds on the shot clock. JJ has to put it up. Alejandro, airball. That's another

10:33airball for Phoenix. One sports, one sports plus ARP TV and Pilipinas Live.

10:38Banquero, one out of two. Rebound ends up with Mohon.

10:47Oh, Phoenix find offense. JV. Soyu shoots a three. There you go. Big shot by Rose Soyu.

10:58Newsome, nice pass inside. Bates, deep position. It's good for Brandon Bates.

11:09Salado, through traffic. Perkins shoots a shot. That is good for Jason Perkins.

11:15Create good spacing and look for the open player and let the game flow and keep the defense guessing.

11:26Nice fake by Salado. Wide open jump shot. There you go.

11:30We expected that before the start of the game because of how important this game is.

11:35Banquero finds the middle. Oh, what a scoop layup for Chris Banquero. Let's take a look

11:40at this one. Our best move of the game brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PB.

11:46Six-point game, 70 to 64. Here Black goes to Maliksi. Wide open three. Nobody closing out

11:53and he makes the pay. And found himself wide open for the three. Maliksi finding so much space here

12:02as he builds his five-point lead. They were trying to go in a zone defense.

12:05Brandon Bates has been doing a good job changing those shots every time they drive to the basket.

12:11Here comes Cliff Hutch. Wide open again. Another miscue from Phoenix. But again, one of the

12:18key personnel for Phoenix has been absent is Jason Perkins.

12:23Garcia just checking into the game. Immediately drains a three.

12:28Take a look at this. R. Garcia triple. He's checking into the game.

12:36Odo Perkins with five seconds on his clock. There you go. One more time. Yes, sir. R. Garcia delivers.

12:44All the shooters are with Menalco. Maliksi has been on fire.

12:49Gets into Aaron Black. They swing into a lane. Maliksi. Oh, big shot by Maliksi. Big shot by Maliksi.

12:58Usab fires to the corner. Quinto puts the ball on the floor. Shot doesn't go. Rebound for Tuffin.

13:06Perkins, they have to go. Garcia is open to the corner. Mocon inside. Layup is good.

13:15Well, Phoenix was lucky enough not to be called for a traveling violation of that layup by Mocon.

13:22One on one, that iso play for him. But this time they're going to give that iso play for Bankero.

13:30Bankero attacking R. Garcia right now. Big shot. Bankero delivers. Bankero might have

13:38sealed this game with that long two-pointer. Menalco needed that one. That could actually

13:46determine the outcome of this game if they make a big stop here in this play.

13:52Tuffin shoots a three. Oh, yes. Tuffin makes a three. Oh, that's close. If that's a two,

14:00that's a big call. This one is a good angle. Better angle. Oh, that's a two. That's gonna be a two.

14:05Oh, wow. That's big. But you have to give credit to Phoenix. They never gave up in this game.

14:14They were in the game all throughout the three, the four quarters.

14:18Just so happened that Menalco pulled it off at the end.
