00:00 So this is also a small lineup here for coach Luigi Trillo with Bankero, Haram and Newsome playing all together.

00:10 Newsome, pocket pass, stolen by Pringle. They've got numbers, they go wide. Tenorio.

00:22 They go inside. Sistan ties things up. And that means doubling the effort on the rebounds and transition baskets as well.

00:30 In coach Richard's words, we need to anticipate the medal, who will come in more physical in this game.

00:34 So we cannot be reactive. We need to stay composed and not lose our focus.

00:38 He was 2 for 8 in game 4, now 0 for 3. So the struggles continue here for Newsome.

00:45 Tenorio with a floater. Just a smart play there for Tenorio.

00:52 He knew that Mivalko would close out long because of his ability to take the 3 point shot.

00:58 So he puts the ball on the floor and hits that little floater.

01:01 He talked about the importance of getting off to a very good start and Bankero nails that 3, cuts that lead down to just 1.

01:10 He's part of the game plan of Mivalko. They even sent Anju Paramp here to start this game to defend against Elie Tenorio.

01:18 What a move there from Stanley Pringle. We're going to see that in the highlights for days to come.

01:25 Almazan can hit that and does.

01:34 Coming from Stanley Pringle. This was vintage Stanley Pringle with the way he put the ball on the floor with that aggressive drive.

01:40 What Maliksi can do in game 2 and 3, he was the focal point of the Mivalko offense.

01:45 Bates tries to go inside. Gets 2. Those are bonus points here for the Bulls.

01:52 Talking to Paulo Trilli earlier this season, he was very high on the fact that they were able to get Bates.

01:57 And he says he's somebody that we can actually really utilize.

02:02 Inside! Drop it! Big slam!

02:06 What's Bates' height?

02:11 He's supposed to be 6'9". Didn't look like he was 6'9" in that instance.

02:16 Wow!

02:18 We got to see that again in a bit. But look at this. Anju Karam will score.

02:24 He's keeping Elie Tenorio honest also in the defensive end.

02:28 Anju Karam, I've been a big fan of him ever since he went here to Mivalko because he doesn't need the minutes.

02:36 But every time you call his name, he produces.

02:39 Get out of my way!

02:45 Pringle, nice lob inside.

02:50 Drop it! Will misfire.

02:53 Baby hook works!

02:57 Will misfire. Han Missy has also checked in.

03:00 Bon Quinto on the other end has come in.

03:03 Coach Tim Koon is using Koo here as a stretch for.

03:07 Most of the conference, he used Koo in the wings as a small forward.

03:14 But now he's using him as a stretch for so that there is always a lot of outside shooting here for Barangay Inebra on the floor.

03:25 That's going to drop there for Sistan.

03:27 And that's the space that is created because you're surrounding Christian with four good outside shooters here.

03:35 Bankero inside with a floater. Works!

03:39 Usa once again. Back.

03:46 Looking for a shot early.

03:49 And as you mentioned a while ago.

03:52 He goes isolation against Maverick Han Missy who is shorter.

03:56 And he has an advantage as well in terms of athleticism.

04:00 There will be days that you deliver for the team and some where you don't put up your usual numbers.

04:05 For Japeth, whatever the circumstance, it does not change the focus that he has to stick to his role.

04:10 As we can see there, scoring once again is Newsome to bring his squad to within one.

04:14 Here's now with five points in the contest.

04:20 Scoring there is Nards Pinto.

04:22 That's where Diego Davao really struggles when he's defending bigger guards and stronger guards like Nards Pinto.

04:31 Minute gone here in quarter number two.

04:36 Dario.

04:38 It's close to launching. Here is Quinto.

04:41 Falling away. Money.

04:43 On LA.

04:46 And Scottie gets his first rest of the game.

04:50 Maverick will overshoot.

04:51 Big slam there from Japeth off that offensive rebound.

04:55 If they're going to play Ralf at the four, you need to make them pay by getting a lot of offensive rebounds and putbacks.

05:02 Nice play though.

05:03 That was a breakdown in defense for the Bolts.

05:07 Look at this.

05:09 Marangay Nebra all spread out. Look the defense of Peralco spread out as well.

05:14 Nobody inside the paint in the defense because of the outside shooting that they have.

05:19 Bankera will have to bring it out.

05:20 Karam long two.

05:25 Money.

05:27 And you gotta love the awareness of the shot clock there from Andrew Karam.

05:34 He knew he still had that one fake and one dribble to get that shot off.

05:39 Got it off just in the nick of time.

05:42 Cutting that lead down to two.

05:43 Getting into the passing lanes.

05:47 Dodge.

05:48 Newsome left wide open. Bang!

05:53 We thought Marangay Nebra was controlling this game.

05:57 Five straight points here for Peralco gives them a one.

06:01 Bankero. Wow. What rotation there.

06:10 I was going to say.

06:11 Now a four point advantage is their biggest lead of the ball game.

06:16 Chris Bankero quietly with eight points in the game.

06:19 What a block there from Scotty Thompson.

06:22 Wow.

06:26 Shot clock is now down to six.

06:29 Does Bankero realize it?

06:31 Puts up a quick one and hits.

06:36 Off the switch.

06:41 Here's Stan Hardinger. He does his best to defend.

06:45 Chris Bankero he does a good job defending it.

06:47 Now they'll set up in the half court.

06:54 Bankero will launch and hit.

06:56 Register now for free.

06:59 Under two minutes to be played.

07:02 There is Bates once again.

07:05 That's what he does.

07:07 And that is going to give them another chance for a basket and they get three points.

07:12 And again that is the reason why I was upset when he did not take the earlier open three.

07:17 He is on fire. Chris Bankero.

07:20 Now Bates has held his own here against C-Stan.

07:28 Falling away. Stan Hardinger scores.

07:32 Thompson looking for space.

07:41 Pinto for three.

07:42 And he promptly goes straight to the basket and gets fouled.

07:52 For Alain Maliksy coming off that screen.

07:56 Good curl here from Maliksy and he is...

07:59 He has length.

08:01 Got him inside the lane.

08:07 Wow. Flows up a thrower.

08:09 Hashtag NBA on Signal.

08:22 Right now everybody is focused on the PBA playoffs though.

08:26 Maliksy scores.

08:28 Nice pocket pass.

08:35 Hodge gets away for two.

08:37 That does not happen if there was no good screen.

08:41 He got Pringle on the money there with Hodge.

08:44 You go to the wing. Bankero.

08:51 Finds Hodge. Hodge gets away with another layup.

08:55 It's the same play.

08:57 It's the same play. Hodge.

09:01 Bankero will come up short.

09:02 C-Stan all by his lonesome.

09:05 That's too easy.

09:07 And after a quick shot and miss by Bankero.

09:12 C-Stan.

09:14 That's a walk in the park.

09:16 Back to the action now as Jaffa picks himself up.

09:20 Jaimesy in the ballgame.

09:22 And he's got it.

09:24 And he's got it.

09:27 Jaffa picks himself up.

09:28 Jaimesy in the ballgame.

09:30 Maverick with the layup.

09:32 That'll stay down.

09:34 Jaimesy using that blush screen coming from Alguilar.

09:39 Getting a little bit of an advantage there against Chris Newsome and Maverick.

09:44 The Bulls looking for another quality shot.

09:51 Maliksy is going to get away here.

09:53 Up and under move works.

09:56 He's such a smooth offensive operator, Alain Maliksy.

10:00 This time doesn't settle for the three.

10:03 Puts the ball in the floor and then a wonderful finish by Alain.

10:06 Kru kicks it out.

10:08 Maverick.

10:10 C-Stan from 15 feet.

10:13 Bankero with a running start.

10:17 The floater not going to work.

10:19 Hodge.

10:21 Could've knocked that one down.

10:24 It's here with Maverick.

10:25 He keeps it.

10:27 Goes all the way.

10:29 Watch it once again here.

10:32 He wasn't going to pass that opportunity up.

10:35 Minute.

10:37 They can't get the angle of the pass.

10:43 Now they do.

10:45 Excellent high-low play there.

10:51 Almazan to Hodge and suddenly Hodge, he has...

10:55 10 points I believe in this quarter alone.

11:01 That is right.

11:03 Total of 12.

11:06 A little bit too strong.

11:08 That's saved to the wrong individual.

11:11 Morel will give it up.

11:14 Clock-wise down.

11:16 That's a big three there from Tenorio.

11:19 Don't...

11:20 Siris is tied at two apiece.

11:31 C-Stan might have to put this one up.

11:36 That's a perfect pass.

11:39 And we are tied at 69.

11:42 Fairly strong.

11:44 Hodge.

11:48 Check that. That's Newsome there.

11:49 Who had C-Stan on a string.

11:52 I love that.

11:54 You needed points, you go to your best player

11:57 and Chris Newsome delivers from Heraldo.

12:00 Tenorio with the floater.

12:06 Answers right back.

12:08 The ageless wonder, L.A. Tenorio

12:13 ties this game up again.

12:15 Hodge kicks it out.

12:16 Almazan for three short.

12:18 Hodge with the offensive rebound.

12:20 Quinto for three. Bang!

12:22 Players just standing at their own spots

12:25 but instead making that conscious effort

12:27 defensively and more so

12:29 focusing to locate Meralco's shooters better.

12:31 Gentlemen, back to you.

12:33 Once again, they give up an offensive rebound

12:35 and one of the shooters they're supposed to locate.

12:38 Maliksi takes it straight to the back of the net.

12:40 And that's a shot.

12:43 He's looking. Maliksi takes it strong to the basket.

12:45 Here for Meralco.

12:47 Earlier on they got the three point play

12:49 of an offensive rebound, a three point shot.

12:51 Right here they get the three point play.

12:53 Extra pass. Scottie for three.

12:57 Overshoots.

12:59 Maverick for three. Bang!

13:03 So he never returns the favor.

13:06 As we enter the final seven minutes of this one.

13:12 Critical game number five.

13:13 C-Stan will bring it closer from 14 feet.

13:16 Pringle will kick it out. Scottie for three.

13:23 Offensive rebound here for C-Stan.

13:26 Pringle to Stan Hardinger.

13:30 Gets another one.

13:32 He's back in the game to defend against Christian Stan Hardinger.

13:36 That is the reason why he is there.

13:38 But he is playing with five fouls.

13:41 Oh!

13:42 Is he the medium range god?

13:45 Might have been a traveling violation.

13:49 Let go.

13:51 Hodge gets away for two inside.

13:54 They repost.

13:58 Stan Hardinger.

14:00 Forcing the issue.

14:02 Tapet with the offensive rebound.

14:04 Under three and a half to be played in game number five.

14:10 Pringle extra pass. Thompson for three.

14:12 That's big.

14:14 So you missed the whole game long.

14:19 But when it counts the most,

14:21 in the fourth quarter, deep in the fourth quarter,

14:24 Scottie is nothing but death.

14:26 And that's why he's the MVP.

14:28 Three point lead here for the Gin Kings.

14:32 From 14 feet.

14:36 Stan Hardinger once again from medium range.

14:39 And that's going to be it.

14:40 That was already a two possession ball game at that stage.

14:43 But this is what Never Say Die is all about.

14:46 [crowd cheering]

14:48 [crowd cheering]

14:50 But this is what this is what Never Say Die is all about.
