00:00We've seen these two start and I think that's one of the game plans of coach Luigi,

00:06probably to speed up the game or match up with the transition, the game of Enlex.

00:13That tip-off was brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA,

00:17and we are underway for our quarterfinals, Almazan hits.

00:24We mentioned that he's a big man, that has range.

00:26Oh yes, definitely those shots will really help a lot here in this game.

00:31Due to nothing early on here for the bolts.

00:36Roger goes to Samarad, Samarad jumper works!

00:40We're tied at two.

00:41Yep, this Roger player is really a revelation.

00:44You know in their last game he played close to 40 minutes

00:47and was very instrumental in that win of Enlex against Pinebra.

00:51Actually if you look at that previous draft coach,

00:54there were a lot of, you can say, steals of different teams.

00:58Correct, that's right.

00:59And Jokaram guarding Bollick in this quarter.

01:03You look inside, Almazan goes to his strong right side.

01:07They find Bollick once again, sidestepping move, extra pass.

01:11Nieto wide open, bang!

01:15Not even six minutes gone here.

01:18Bollick from long range, yes!

01:22Enlex now with a one-point lead.

01:25Paseramere looking for his shot.

01:27Samarad finds the open, Bollick, bang!

01:34Oh, they give him a lot of space.

01:35Oh!

01:38Manuel Miralco will sue for time and they're gonna have to make adjustments.

01:42He explained that his life at home is everything to him

01:45and it's now become a new source of motivation.

01:48He says he wants nothing more than to dominate and win on the basketball courts.

01:52And tackling their life stories on and off court.

01:54Puso to puso on.

02:03Quintos just checked in and...

02:05Scored right away.

02:06Exactly.

02:10That's gonna cut the lead further, it's down to six.

02:16Bollick, step back.

02:18Yes!

02:19That's four threes already in the first period alone.

02:25It works that time.

02:26Yep.

02:32Maliksy will force this one.

02:36No!

02:37Sorry miss, but once again there's Bates.

02:40He's got two baskets already.

02:41Good tip in there by Brandon Bates providing that extra points for Miralco

02:46with his putbacks.

02:49Giving it the kind of hustle that Cliff Hodge is used to doing.

02:52Anthony puts up a three short.

02:56Quinto clears.

03:00Inside, scoring there is Maliksy.

03:03Again another easy basket for Miralco.

03:06And I'm sure for Enlix,

03:09they should be able to make those shots of Bollick's kickouts.

03:15Yes, Bollick once again.

03:17Just slices to the defense.

03:18Yeah, it's hard to stop Bollick, you know.

03:22Misfires there.

03:25Maliksy says we need two points, I'll give it to you.

03:28Slowly but surely, Miralco inching in.

03:31Roger up against Maliksy.

03:34Shot clock winding down.

03:36Roger just throws it up and his prayer is answered.

03:39Good finish there by Roger.

03:42A bump there coming from Maliksy.

03:46And the chance to heavily taped.

03:52Stutter step move there by Roger.

03:53He'll get denied but extracted by Herndon.

03:57Herndon puts up a three.

03:59Yes!

04:02You know, he hit the face of Newsom.

04:05That's why they gave him extra free throw.

04:08Short there from Nieto.

04:10Fajardo with an extra possession.

04:12Miranda is going to get the three points that he gave a while ago back for the other Robbie.

04:21Newsom with a flip, that'll drop.

04:24Here's Newsom's first basket here in this game.

04:29He now has five points after that string of free throws.

04:31Oh yeah, that's right.

04:33Those are free throws.

04:34Free throws, the first field goal.

04:39Fajardo gets away inside.

04:42Fajardo hanging in the air.

04:47This guy's a veteran.

04:48He knows what to do.

04:49He thinks the game more than any of the other players.

04:53Here's Almazan hitting.

04:56Tate for Tat.

04:57If Miranda can do it, Almazan can also shoot that three-pointer.

05:02Miranda and then Almazan.

05:05Let's see if Miranda tries to answer again here.

05:09But he can't because Bollick now.

05:12We'll take control of the basketball.

05:15Gets away inside once again.

05:18Again.

05:20And I think they're supposed to help out.

05:24OneSports and FilipinasLive.

05:27Hashtag everything counts.

05:28Hashtag NBA on signal.

05:33Almazan now in double digits.

05:35And you still have five more minutes in the second quarter.

05:39Alexey shoots over the smaller Nieto.

05:44Again, taking advantage of this mismatch.

05:47Give us a chance to play.

05:50There you go.

05:51Well, so far Robert Bollick has been playing.

05:54Yep, that's it.

05:56Just steps off to the side.

05:58Comes up just short.

06:02Let's see if Heraldo can take advantage of this possession.

06:09Oh, wow.

06:09Chris Newsome gets away.

06:15He gets away again.

06:18Marcello with the extra possession.

06:20There you go.

06:20Semirad hits an open three.

06:22Hurry up.

06:23You have to give credit to Dave Marcello for keeping that ball alive.

06:26And, you know, it's really hard to locate shooters.

06:32That time Semirad found himself wide open.

06:38Ah, he'll kick it out.

06:39Torres can hit this.

06:40Oh, yes.

06:40And does.

06:42Bollick, but nobody rotates.

06:45As we see there, the three-pointer by Semirad.

06:49This time up against Quinto.

06:56Finds Valdez.

06:57Valdez gets away for two.

07:00Road to power.

07:04Miranda.

07:05No.

07:06That looked like the very same play that they ran in the very first possession.

07:11Correct.

07:12Although earlier it was Semirad who made the basket.

07:14This time it was Miranda.

07:15Correct.

07:17That's going to increase their lead up to 12.

07:19But Almazan hits.

07:20Wow.

07:20Just like a strong start he had.

07:22Exactly.

07:22In the first period.

07:23Every time.

07:28Caram.

07:28Yes.

07:29From the wing.

07:29Yes.

07:32Good extra pass there.

07:33A while ago, they were going four against four.

07:36Banquero finds Almazan from 17 feet.

07:40Yes.

07:41Wow.

07:42Almazan back-to-back baskets here.

07:46Shadbach now down to 10.

07:49Sneaking in for another two points.

07:51He's got 30 already.

07:52He's bowling.

07:52He could not give an open lane to Bollick.

07:56You have to stay in front of him.

07:58And the help of Almazan.

08:01His angle was really on a sideline.

08:04It's not really in front of Bollick.

08:07And he's going to go for that shot.

08:10Almazan did his job.

08:14Maliksi turns and hits.

08:18Maliksi very patient on that play.

08:19He knew he had the advantage over Nieto in the latest week.

08:22I totally agree.

08:24So there you go.

08:25Here he is once again.

08:26Speaking of Bollick.

08:27His 32nd point of the game.

08:30Wow.

08:3160-55.

08:32Just a five-point lead.

08:33But you can see Bollick is really in a groove here tonight.

08:38Bates is going to go inside.

08:40Maliksi gets rejected there by Semerad.

08:44And they find Bollick once again for the easy two.

08:48That's a good defensive play there by Endlex.

08:51Helping out on that high-low play for Miralco.

08:57Karam hits a three.

08:58That's his second three here.

09:00Oh, that's a big three-pointer by Karam.

09:02That's the side that they want him to shoot that ball.

09:05And here comes Miralco.

09:08Three-on-one.

09:09And they were able to make it.

09:10The lead is now down to two.

09:13So far with a stellar showing.

09:15Yep.

09:16I won't be surprised.

09:18Maliksi, good move.

09:21Wow.

09:21Maliksi says, if Bollick can do it, I can do it too.

09:25Go to the free throw line.

09:27And the chance to cut this lead off.

09:32Here's Bollick.

09:33Finds Miranda.

09:34Open for this three.

09:36Swish.

09:39Miranda's really playing well here in this game.

09:43He's been scoring buckets after buckets.

09:45And helping Endlex maintain this lead.

09:51Oh, Bankero got away there.

09:53Bankero reading that ball screen really well.

09:56Going full blast already in the fourth.

10:00But again, it depends.

10:03And right now, that lead has been cut down by Bong Quinto.

10:09As we have our quarter scoring.

10:11A big third period.

10:13Wow.

10:15And we are tied at 75.

10:16Yeah, Bankero keeps on attacking that basket.

10:19And so far, it's been a very successful tie.

10:22Quinto says, I can take Amer.

10:24Yeah, he wants eyes on Bacera-Amer.

10:26That would lead to a miss by Bong Quinto.

10:30But he was able to get it.

10:33Wow.

10:35Great effort there by Bong Quinto.

10:37Not giving up on that play.

10:39As soon as he missed, he knew where to get that ball.

10:47Oh, wow.

10:47Rogers gonna lose it.

10:50Big slam there for Chris Newsome.

10:52Big steal here by Chris Newsome.

10:54And now, they're up by six.

10:58There you go.

11:00Now, they have to make those shots.

11:02There you go.

11:03Miranda was forced to take that one.

11:05Yeah, they're gonna give...

11:05Miranda was gonna give those shots.

11:07Now, nobody wants to shoot.

11:08Yep, yep.

11:10They have to make this shot now.

11:12There you go.

11:16We talked about it in the pregame.

11:17Yep, those are two big shots there coming from the NLEX players.

11:23Wow, that was a good play there.

11:28Came to the corner.

11:30Pasaol.

11:32Short.

11:32Oh, big offensive rebound.

11:35Open three.

11:35Yes.

11:36Karam delivers.

11:37Wow.

11:40Again, that happened because of the offensive rebound by Alvin Pasaol

11:45that kept that ball alive.

11:48And always, most of the time,

11:51it ends up on a three-point play or three-point shot.

11:55Under seven minutes to be played here.

11:57Miranda up by four once again.

11:58There you go.

12:00And Miranda is starting to feel it.

12:03Yeah, and a three-pointer.

12:05But Karam answering back with another three.

12:08I'll send it back to you, gentlemen.

12:12Unless it's absolutely needed.

12:13I don't think he's coming back.

12:14Oh, wow.

12:15But right now, Pong Kinto.

12:17Good patience there by Newsom probing the defense.

12:21He saw three guys on him and found Pong Kinto wide open for the three.

12:31They're pushing Bollick as far out as he possibly can go.

12:38Roger giving this three.

12:39Wow.

12:40And he hits.

12:41Again, Enlix delivering and not disappointing Bollick on those passes.

12:50I'm sure Bollick is really happy for his teammates

12:55who's been stepping up big here in the fourth.

12:57Bankero with a handoff.

13:00Oh, wow.

13:01Chris inside for two.

13:04Wow.

13:04Good effort there by Cliff Hodge.

13:06Bankero for that shot.

13:09As you can see here, that kick-out pass to Pong Kinto for the three

13:13with only a second remaining in the shot clock.

13:20Maliksy, that's a good fake.

13:22Oh, wow.

13:22That's a huge one.

13:25Wow.

13:26He got Rogers up in the air and waited for him to come down

13:30before he took the three-pointer.

13:32Big, big shot there by Maliksy.

13:36That's going to extend the lead to four.

13:39Three and a half to play.

13:43Side-step shot.

13:45It's another huge one for Bollick.

13:48Yeah, let's see if he still has some energy left.

13:51Yes, he does.

13:52Oh, yes.

13:54Wow.

13:56He looks like he's running on fumes though.

13:59He has given Enlix the lead.

14:00Take a look at his best for the game.

14:02Brought to you by Honda.

14:04With the three.

14:09There's our game reset.

14:10Actually, Enlix has one more for you.

14:12Okay.

14:15They get it to Bollick.

14:16He will launch from low.

14:18Go.

14:19No.

14:21There you go.

14:23What a pass there.

14:27Yeah, game one goes to Miralco.

14:29And Bollick said, I don't even need to score

14:32because that's just going to stop the clock.

14:34Just dribble it out and the Bulls win this one.

14:38You have to give credit to the resiliency of Miralco

14:42as they never gave up.

14:43You know, they were down.
