00:00 From Cagayan Valley, also at forward, number 18, Troy Rosario.
00:05 Number 8, Bradwyn Ginto.
00:07 Head coach for the Blackwater Bossing is Jeffrey Carriazo.
00:11 Not much resistance there, defensively coming from La Lata.
00:16 Great cut!
00:17 As Kenneth Duffin owns all four points of Phoenix so far.
00:21 And one of those couple will be in the near future the top three-point shooter in PBA history.
00:28 As JV Casho hits the layup.
00:30 Coming back from an injury.
00:33 But as long as Junmar is there, the Philippine Cup Championship will have to go through with San Miguel Bierman.
00:41 Or the last game of the elimination round with your team not getting into the next stage.
00:46 Because the way you attack one game is the way you attack every game.
00:50 Absolutely.
00:51 They will hand off to Duffin.
00:56 And now post-up for Perkins.
00:58 Nine seconds to work with on the shot clock.
01:01 Yeah, too easy.
01:02 There's gotta be help.
01:03 Look at this play one more time.
01:06 One quick dribble.
01:08 He was, I could be wrong, but it seemed like he was scoring much more playing in Rain or Shine.
01:16 He's had a few good games for Phoenix, but it seems like more, he's like defending more.
01:20 Nice move by Nambatak.
01:23 It was him and Nambatak who were supposed to be that future core of Rain or Shine.
01:28 Blackwater gets another stop.
01:31 He check.
01:32 No, it is a pass to Escoto.
01:34 And Richard is able to send it home off the bank.
01:37 He decided to dump it inside.
01:40 And the defense of Perkins is already not in position to foul.
01:44 Call it against Camacho.
01:45 Even could have gone to Jovia Downlow who just towers over Camacho.
01:49 Good defense by Hill.
01:52 Another poor pass.
01:54 Phoenix has been turning it over regularly.
01:57 That's a miss coming from Kwekote.
01:59 Again, not enough bodies running back on defense.
02:02 That should have been Phoenix's rebound, but Justin Chua was, he was the guy defending,
02:06 well, I wasn't sure he was defending Camacho, but he was still way back there and he gets down before everybody.
02:11 That's eight turnovers already for the Fuel Masters.
02:15 They're down by nine points.
02:20 Perkins facing up, shooting over the defense of Chua.
02:23 Former teammates.
02:28 Yeah, Justin Chua again in space when he caught it.
02:30 Knows that Perk has that speed advantage.
02:32 Oh, that's a strong pass.
02:34 Great catch by Hill.
02:36 Good tee by Camacho.
02:40 They call it travel.
02:41 You're allowed to catch it again in the PBA.
02:43 They call the traveling violation.
02:46 RJ Azu also has not played.
02:48 Nice pass.
02:52 So Phoenix now playing with a little more speed.
02:55 Their rhythm prompting this quick timeout coming from coach Jeffrey Carriazo.
02:59 Their lead has been...
03:01 Good rebound by Troy.
03:02 Oh, he misses the putback.
03:05 Tyrus Hill with one more opportunity for Blackwater.
03:08 JD Tongkab will not second guess himself.
03:11 That is with a mismatch.
03:13 Speed advantage against David.
03:17 Good cross court pass.
03:18 Salado lets it fly.
03:19 Misses on the triple.
03:21 That's a good look again.
03:22 They are getting their looks.
03:23 JD Tongkab all the way to the hoop for two.
03:27 I thought he was going to lay up.
03:29 It seems like...
03:30 I mean, I'd like...
03:31 Look at this layup first by Tongkab.
03:32 That's tough and just kind of...
03:33 Good tee by Ilagan.
03:35 Great pass by Verano.
03:37 Tough and misses, but they get another crack at it.
03:40 JB Mokon hits the triple.
03:43 They're two of ten from downtown.
03:46 25-21, a four-point lead for the Blackwater bossing.
03:55 JD will launch and convert again.
03:58 I don't know if that's in their scouting report,
04:00 but it seems like they have no respect for his shot.
04:02 They've been going under, ducking on screens for Tongkab
04:06 and just daring him to shoot,
04:07 but that's his second triple already of the game.
04:10 Eight points in total for Tongkab
04:13 as his lead is at seven.
04:15 Wonderful pull-up jumper.
04:17 Good contest, but again, another miss.
04:19 Box out.
04:20 Nice rebound by Mokon.
04:21 Tongkab saves it to his teammate David.
04:24 Good pass back, Tongkab.
04:26 Attacks baseline.
04:28 JD met by the defense of Lalata with that big-time block.
04:31 Already down.
04:32 This was the spike coming from Lalata.
04:36 Oh, and then Tongkab was hit in the face.
04:40 Oh, I think it was...
04:41 You know, the season break, time to rest the injuries,
04:45 reassess your squad,
04:46 and just focus on building towards the next season.
04:50 Here in the second period, good swarming defense.
04:53 That pass connects to Bradwyn.
04:55 Into the...
04:56 Nice move.
04:57 And Troy Rosario...
04:58 Oh, misses that.
04:59 Gimme.
05:00 Wants the foul in the end one.
05:01 Rosario getting away with a bit of a push on Tuff in there,
05:04 or a bit of a hold by Ginto,
05:06 but that's just a size advantage
05:09 that Rosario has over...
05:11 And he will instead look for the best possible shot, Perkins.
05:14 Goes on another jive.
05:16 Good help coming from Kekute.
05:18 Step back three for Richie!
05:21 It's money!
05:22 Over on the side of Phoenix,
05:23 Coach Jemai focused on polishing their defense for the second half
05:27 and told the team to fix their rebounding, especially Jeton.
05:31 Pull the trigger here in this ballgame.
05:33 Go, Troy.
05:34 He's got three fouls.
05:35 This might be a good decision.
05:37 Yeah, good decision.
05:38 RK Ilagan with his third triple on the third board there.
05:41 And just like that,
05:48 nine points in the period for RK Ilagan.
05:51 Counter three, RJ could not connect.
05:53 Another rebound for Kenneth Tuff in.
05:56 KT with the jab step.
05:59 There's a switch on D.
06:00 They go inside now, Perkins, the veteran,
06:04 scoring against the VIN.
06:05 You're bigger than him.
06:07 It was just too easy.
06:09 Yeah, that was way too late.
06:11 Peralta still needs a win to be able to guarantee themselves a spot
06:17 in the quarterfinals.
06:18 Good rebound.
06:19 Coach Jeff just gets him in and Escoto again,
06:22 making a contribution right away.
06:24 Quality minutes.
06:27 Oh, that layup falls short,
06:32 and now Blackwater is on the run.
06:35 Another drive for Nambata,
06:37 backs it home.
06:38 That was a tough shot.
06:39 Even looking at Mokun's face,
06:40 they're laughing at each other.
06:41 Mokun's like, "Oh, how'd you get that off?"
06:43 Well, that was a tough one.
06:44 I thought Mokun was all over him.
06:46 Former Rainers shine teammates going at it.
06:48 And none of,
06:50 neither of these teams able to get separation as JJ Alejandro
06:56 just lights out for Phoenix.
06:58 He's cooking right now,
07:00 trying to match a three-point shooting of RK Ilagan here in the
07:03 quarter.
07:04 He's got 10 in this quarter already.
07:06 Good shot going inside.
07:10 The smaller defender,
07:11 double team waiting for him.
07:12 Troy with a strong move and one.
07:14 And this best move of the game is brought to you by Honda,
07:20 the official motorcycle of the PBA.
07:23 The team go undefeated in the elimination round.
07:25 That's a target for the San Miguel Viermen later as they take
07:28 on the Malalco Bolts.
07:30 One time it happened as you have JD Tokab converting from three.
07:34 One of the times it happened was back in the 2014 PBA
07:38 Commissioners Cup.
07:39 San Miguel too?
07:41 No, TNT actually swept the elimination round 9-0.
07:44 It's been that long though?
07:47 10 years?
07:48 I'm not sure if there are any, but that's the last time.
07:51 They swept, they swept the elimination round.
07:53 They beat Barangay Hinebra in the quarters.
07:55 They swept TNT,
07:57 sorry, Rainer Shine in the semifinals,
08:00 but they lost three games to one to the San Miguel Coffee Mixers.
08:04 Yes, Tokab seated up now with back-to-back three-point shots.
08:08 Now they lead by three all of a sudden.
08:10 Instant offense again for JD.
08:13 Great pick by Jeff, Coach Jeff off the bench.
08:17 Oh, might have gone over the travel there.
08:20 Now as you take another look at this bully ball move coming
08:25 from Jason Perkins,
08:27 really liking that one against Bradwyn Ginto.
08:30 Against Casho, he delivers it to Richie.
08:37 Good D by Ray Suerte.
08:39 Verano can shoot.
08:40 Oh, that's a bad foul by Ginto.
08:42 In fact, Verano had already landed by the time he hit him.
08:47 Casho, laying defense against Tuffin.
08:54 The layup is wild from KT.
08:56 Oh, Suerte with an open lane.
09:02 Finally, finally scores.
09:03 Yeah, he has been a missing link.
09:05 There's a good matchup here.
09:06 Verano, Antoine Rosario, they like this
09:09 football movement, the hot hand.
09:12 That still is hot.
09:13 JD with more than that already today.
09:16 Casho wide open.
09:18 Suerte says, "Nah, I want to shoot it."
09:20 Or, "No, I want to find Rosario. Good job."
09:23 Get a good play.
09:24 Ooh, Rosario likes this.
09:26 Nice pass.
09:27 He'll have to move quickly,
09:28 and he will get the basket and the foul.
09:31 Swing it that strong.
09:32 Nice pass here.
09:33 Maybe he used it.
09:36 Yeah, this will be the swan song
09:39 of both these teams in our 48th season.
09:42 That's short, coming from JV Mok.
09:44 I thought he was fouled.
09:45 The referee's not agreeing.
09:46 And Suerte will lead the attack once again.
09:48 Sharp crossover race.
09:49 Suerte could not finish.
09:51 Tippin is there, though, for Troy Rosario.
09:54 Ooh, a lot of contact there.
09:55 But look at this gorgeous layup, just not falling.
09:58 Rosario's right there to complete the play anyway.
10:03 A game between the San Miguel Beermen
10:05 looking for an elimination round sweep,
10:08 going up against the Miralco Bulls,
10:10 who still need one win to get to the playoffs.
10:13 Fresh 14 on the clock now for the Blackwater Bossing.
10:16 Nice screen, good pass.
10:18 Nice extra pass, but Rosario could not control it.
10:21 End one play, though.
10:22 It's lacking a big man today with all their injuries.
10:26 They're getting killed on that offensive glass.
10:29 Offensive rebounding totals, 21 for Ken Lex and TNT
10:35 needing a win still, right?
10:37 Yeah.
10:38 Just to qualify straight into the quarterfinals
10:41 with no further complications.
10:42 Tyrus Hill finds the angle on the banker.
10:45 Team foul.
10:46 Ooh, drive coming from Nambatak, but it did not glide.
10:52 He goes reverse.
10:53 Bradwin Guito scores.
10:55 Must-4 situation already.
11:03 Great find.
11:04 For the Fuel Masters.
11:05 And besides, if you have a playoff for that number eight,
11:08 you're going to have to play San Miguel,
11:10 so you don't want that.
11:11 You need three.
11:13 It could be Northport, could be Terafirma,
11:19 there are also opportunities where it will be fighting
11:24 for your life for that knockout spot.
11:26 Basically, any team that falls to five and six
11:31 will be in danger.
11:32 Passer fast approaching the midway mark now
11:35 of this fourth quarter.
11:36 Tyrus Hill fakes a three, attacks closer.
11:39 Tyrus.
11:40 Wow, Bradwin another offensive rebound try.
11:43 Again, that's got to switch.
11:44 There's a mismatch.
11:47 Good deflection, good hands.
11:49 Here comes Blackwater.
11:50 They got numbers.
11:51 Tyrus Hill on the drive.
11:53 Strong move from Ty as he hits the layup.
11:56 Wow, 14 steals for the Blackwater Boston defense.
12:05 It's like Northport, though, early in this conference.
12:08 Yeah.
12:09 Nice move.
12:11 It's a group of guards who can all put the ball on the floor
12:14 and score.
12:15 Yeah, and Ayan Ayan still injured there.
12:18 Another offensive rebound.
12:20 Left with four remaining.
12:22 Nambata sends it out.
12:24 RK, Ilaga, three-point shot.
12:26 No good.
12:27 Another offensive rebound.
12:28 Another putback this time courtesy of Nambata.
12:31 Well, Blackwater is just dumping everything to Rosario
12:34 to initiate.
12:35 Draw the double.
12:38 Ooh, and this guy has also been a huge positive.
12:42 And we will be burning our calculators after this game
12:47 to really compute where teams could end up in the final day.
12:52 Well, there you asked for it.
12:53 You said they haven't gone to Perkins in a while.
12:55 They do, and he rewards them with a bucket.
12:58 But with only two minutes and 45 seconds
13:01 remaining in the ballgame, it might be tough to go.
13:04 Still bounce back from this if you're Blackwater--
13:06 oh, sorry, if you're Phoenix.
13:08 Yes, it's scored.
13:09 Three-point shot won't work.
13:11 If you're Blackwater, there's no need to rush.
13:13 You've got fouls to give.
13:14 Use it wisely.
13:15 Good position coming from RK, Ilaga.
13:21 Look at how quick he is.
13:23 Did he lose his dribble, or did he stop?
13:25 He stopped.
13:26 He stopped to fake a macho.
13:28 Alejandro probably should have fouled him there.
13:30 Ooh, and RK again.
13:35 That's an ambush steal.
13:36 And now RK sets up Reina Bata for the casual layup.
13:40 I think Coach Jeffrey Carriazo will empty out his bench,
13:47 give some of his guys some more additional burn.
13:50 Well, this is just getting sloppy.
13:59 Oh, this is going to be two points.
14:01 It will be for Jason Perkins.
14:03 Perkins has the 17-point advantage.
14:10 The story really was the absence of the big men for Phoenix
14:14 because they were just clobbered.
14:16 On the boards, they are slam dunk.
14:18 Coming from JD Tunkhab.
14:21 102 to 83 against the Phoenix Fieldmasters.
14:25 Tunkhab was thinking about it.
14:26 His teammates are egging him.
14:28 But no, he played great today.
14:31 No question.
14:32 was that spark plug for them.
