00:00 Ready to get things going and this tip-off is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.

00:07 So, Ginebra still looking for their first basket of this matchup.

00:11 Stan Hardinger with a quick crossover.

00:13 Christian had the ball tapped away from him, stolen by Bankero.

00:17 CB to Newsome. Nuno hits the layup on the brink.

00:20 Encouraging his players, just play and don't let that bother you.

00:25 Great hands there coming from Raymond Almazan and an even better finish.

00:30 Looks like a 1-2-2 type of zone defense.

00:35 Three-point shot from Newsome is good and that is the perfect antidote to a zone.

00:40 Yeah. So far, you know, the zone does not bother Miralco as they were able to score seven straight points here in the first quarter.

00:53 Aguilar. Oh, defense is very active coming from the Miralco Bulls.

00:58 Pringo, open momentarily for a three and he converts.

01:01 It's a gamble.

01:04 Yep. And you cannot scramble back to prevent the other opportunities.

01:08 They're baiting him to shoot that three.

01:10 Bankero. Locates Quinto. Three-point shot. Second try. Now it's a make.

01:18 Looks like that will be his role moving forward.

01:22 It will be Almazan whistled with it.

01:24 And going back to that zone defense. So the commitment was not 100% coming from Coach Eric Altamirano on the call.

01:32 Newsome has it. He launches another three. It's good again.

01:36 That's a rebound. Goes to CB.

01:40 Chris. Quick pass. Feets down low.

01:45 Quick pass break points for the Miralco Bulls coupled with their hot shooting.

01:50 Quinto. Jumper from the short corner is money.

01:59 That's the one you were asking for, that post-op against Pringle.

02:03 And I think they saw that in the timeout and they were able to take advantage of it.

02:08 So they now switch on the defensive assignments.

02:13 Pringle swings it. Tenorio. Open from the corner. That's good.

02:19 From the general.

02:21 Alexey to Newsome. They swing it. Quinto fakes.

02:26 Bong. Midrange J. Will fall in.

02:29 Aggressive start for Quinto in this matchup. He has six points officially in this game.

02:36 Yeah. Bong Quinto recognizing that long closeout of Cistan.

02:40 Was able to drive by him. Was able to get that pull of jumper.

02:44 Scoreboard was just a little slow. It's seven points for Bong Quinto.

02:48 A triple into midrange. Jumper's block coming from Bates. Newsome will step out of bounds on this possession.

02:55 What a great block there by Brandon Bates.

02:59 Thompson bounces it over to Ahan Misi.

03:04 Oh! Another big time rejection.

03:08 Eight eleven to nothing as what we saw.

03:12 And you have to give credit to the defense of Miralco.

03:18 Scottie.

03:19 Goes to Christian down low. Kick out pass. Alfu is open. Three point shot is down.

03:25 Decision basket by Panagayan Evra as we saw there.

03:29 And look at that kick out here by Cistan.

03:32 Quick counterattack.

03:35 Good pass to Japet. Defense recovers but not in time to stop it.

03:43 Quinto on the drive. On the half spin. Thompson with it.

03:47 Three seconds remaining. Scottie with a big size advantage. Goal traverse on the back.

03:52 First quarter and somehow the defense of Cistan has been bothering him when they switch on that play.

04:00 This best move of the game is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.

04:16 That is an end one for Maverick Ajan Misi and an opportunity.

04:20 And there by Stan as he saw a backdoor cut by...

04:25 First quarter scoring.

04:29 Close. 33 and 35 percent as Valquito continues shooting well in this ballgame.

04:36 He hits double digits with 10.

04:38 Ringo sends it out to Raspu.

04:41 Into Japet now against Almazan.

04:44 Japet off with Pivot to the other side. Gets an end one.

04:48 As you can see here.

04:50 Went to the middle first. Faked him off and then went baseline and was able to get a foul from Almazan.

04:57 Japet uses the fake. Japet.

05:00 Oh wow. What a block there by Brandon Bates.

05:03 Second denial from Bates. As Valquito is pushing.

05:06 Ball with a drive and a layup.

05:08 Score as Stan is taking a rest right now.

05:13 Also in their favor.

05:18 Good entry pass to Japet.

05:21 Patient move to Japet. He gets another end one opportunity.

05:25 Japet at the line.

05:31 Time around to Pivot foot.

05:33 Japet at the line.

05:35 Actually had a strong start with a couple of early triples.

05:38 But he has since slowed down. Japet in and out.

05:41 And that tip in is good for Scottie Thompson.

05:45 Parangay Hinebras never leading this matchup so far.

05:50 Scottie Thompson ends that with his own end one opportunity.

05:55 Here it is. Japet. This time it's Scottie Thompson.

05:58 Able to get a foul.

06:01 Of that squad. As you can see the numbers in favor of Parangay Hinebra.

06:06 In the offensive rebounding department.

06:08 Finally a basket coming from Cliff Hodge.

06:11 To halt that rally.

06:13 Good drive there by Cliff Hodge.

06:15 Barreling his way in.

06:16 Was able to find that poop in lane to the basket.

06:19 Five point lead for Parangay Hinebra.

06:22 Only twelve points this quarter.

06:24 For Miralco. Stan Hardinger.

06:26 Blocked on the head by Hodge.

06:28 CB is pushing.

06:30 You don't see him post up a lot.

06:32 But that time he was able to score against Eric Dinorio.

06:34 And gets a steal here.

06:36 CB chugging.

06:38 Cliff Hodge with the layup.

06:40 That's the way to run the fast break.

06:43 First half well.

06:44 Almazan settles for the outside shot.

06:47 It's good for three. They take the lead.

06:49 What a ball game we're having here.

06:52 He's being given a lot of space by Japet.

06:54 Almost being there to take the outside shot.

06:56 Great dive from Pringle.

06:57 The forward pass.

06:58 Counter steal for Banquero.

07:00 Maliksin lost the ball from behind.

07:06 But Almazan is there to save the day.

07:08 What a turn of events there.

07:09 It was almost a turnover for Miralco.

07:11 LA asking for a screen from Japet.

07:14 Defense fights over.

07:16 Japet.

07:17 Off the spin and a slap.

07:19 [crowd cheering]

07:21 48-45.

07:27 If you're a metal coach,

07:28 playing with no natural power forward.

07:30 So, Ralph Buu, I think, will be moonlighting.

07:34 As they're big here.

07:36 That will be another end one.

07:37 They took advantage of this mismatch.

07:40 Against Banquero.

07:42 And Japet Aguilar was able to score.

07:44 And get a foul.

07:45 No.

07:47 Almazan offensive foul there by Almazan.

07:48 The push shot is gone.

07:50 Again, challenging the defense of Ralph Buu.

07:54 And that play.

07:55 Anything below that, it's soft.

07:57 As Hodge misses.

07:58 Quinto reclaims the possession.

08:01 He attacks quickly.

08:02 And he gets the end one opportunity.

08:03 That drive.

08:05 And getting a foul for an end one.

08:07 From Scottie Thompson.

08:08 No clean passing lane.

08:15 So, they attack on the other side instead.

08:17 Quinto now has it.

08:18 Hodge also with a size advantage.

08:21 Maliksi wide open for three.

08:23 That's good!

08:24 It's all about playing the mismatch.

08:27 It's a tagging early.

08:28 Waiting for the defense of Barangay Hinevra to react.

08:31 And it led to a wide open three point shot from Alain Maliksi.

08:35 Finally.

08:37 Finally.

08:38 Getting a foul.

08:39 But Ralph Buu with four early fouls.

08:40 With still eight minutes and 46 seconds left here in this game.

08:44 They go inside.

08:46 Jabed!

08:47 Connects.

08:48 And the buzzer.

08:50 That will be reviewed.

08:51 That will be reviewed by our officials.

08:53 As it was already requested by the Mirago Bulls.

08:57 To see if that will count or not.

08:59 Almazan outside.

09:03 They locate Bankero.

09:05 Quick pass inside to Hodge now.

09:07 Beating his initial defender and converting the reverse.

09:10 Good play there for Mirago as Hodge found himself open underneath.

09:14 And was able to sneak in that layup.

09:16 Also hits double digits with ten now.

09:18 Lusum still resting up.

09:22 He will be fresh when he is reinjected into this matchup.

09:25 Ajan Misi.

09:27 The flip shot is good.

09:28 Has the bigger Aguilar on him.

09:32 The tap pass coming from Hodge.

09:36 Three point shot is good for Guinto.

09:38 What a big play for Mirago.

09:41 As they recognized that they were helping out with the high low play.

09:45 And a quick pass by Hodge.

09:47 For the three pointer.

09:48 Touch pass played to perfection.

09:51 Almazan is beaten once again by Stan Hardinger for this end one.

09:56 That will be the fifth personal.

09:58 Look at this.

10:00 How smart is this?

10:01 With the secondary defense coming towards him.

10:04 He located Guinto.

10:06 Good recognition there by Cliff Hodge.

10:10 And Brandon Bates subs for...

10:12 Being defended by the much taller Brandon Bates.

10:15 Quick crossover.

10:16 Ajan Misi lost the ball.

10:18 Lusum completes the stop.

10:19 Guinto with the leak out.

10:21 Guinto with the finger roll.

10:23 Ajan Misi trying to take advantage of the matchup.

10:28 But he lost his grip of the basketball.

10:31 Quick turnover.

10:33 Leading to a quick basket from Bong Guinto.

10:38 Who has exploded for 23 points in this game.

10:41 In favor of Miralco.

10:44 Stan Hardinger reverses.

10:47 What a smart move.

10:49 What a shot there by C-Stan.

10:51 This is playground stun.

10:54 Coming from Christian Stan Hardinger.

10:56 Just knowing where he is.

10:57 No clean looks for Barangay Ginebra.

11:00 Oh they will switch this mid-range jumper.

11:03 Yes finally.

11:05 After so many tries.

11:07 Lusum was able to get that shot in.

11:10 On that same spot.

11:12 On that same spot that he took shots earlier.

11:14 That might convince Barangay Ginebra to alter that ball screen defense.

11:18 As the lead is 7 for Miralco.

11:21 Pringle gets it right back with his own mid-range look.

11:25 On the same spot as where Lusum made that shot.

11:28 4 minutes 20 seconds remaining in game.

11:34 Game number 6.

11:36 Malik Si once again match up against Stan Hardinger.

11:40 Alain goes on the drive.

11:42 The layup is scored with a foul.

11:44 Get a foul.

11:46 And score on that driving layup.

11:49 Storm their way back into this game.

11:52 And arrange our finals cast.

11:54 Or will Miralco force a game 7.

11:56 This coming Friday.

11:58 The scoop layup is a make.

12:00 From Stan the man.

12:02 Big play there by Pringle.

12:04 As he was able to score off that spin.

12:06 Turn around layup.

12:08 Now the defense staying home for Ginebra.

12:14 That's another foul.

12:16 Drawn by Alain Malik Si.

12:17 Jappet shared it's great being teammates with Cliff.

12:20 Because he dives for the ball and does everything on the floor.

12:22 But he can't get it in.

12:24 Because of his competitiveness.

12:26 Again.

12:29 Punishing.

12:31 The mismatches.

12:32 Hard show there coming from Bates.

12:35 Maverick mishandles.

12:36 Stan Hardinger has it.

12:37 Moves to a strong side.

12:39 Christian.

12:40 Finds a way to score.

12:41 Will not pull the trigger just yet.

12:45 We have to give Brandon Bates credit for that dip in.

12:48 Malik Si again.

12:50 Wow.

12:54 Alain Malik Si man on fire in this 4th quarter.

12:57 With 2 minutes remaining in this game.

12:59 14 points in the ball game for Malik Si.

13:01 The push shot is a miss.

13:03 Tip in is a miss as well.

13:04 Ahan Misi.

13:06 To Stan Hardinger.

13:07 9 seconds remaining on the shot clock.

13:09 Christian down low against 2 defenders.

13:11 Coupled up by the defense of Galgo.

13:13 Great block there.

13:14 But a steal by Stompson.

13:16 Scottie against Malik Si.

13:22 Scottie still with it.

13:23 3 point shot is blocked by Alain.

13:28 That's a quick trap.

13:29 Newsom attacks it.

13:30 Newsom misses the layup.

13:32 Almazan fighting for the loose ball.

13:34 Picked up by Ahan Misi.

13:35 And there's a foul.

13:36 That's exactly what you do not want if you're Miralco.

13:39 Newsom saw the trap.

13:42 Saw an opportunity to attack.

13:44 But that last help coming from Japit.

13:47 Enough to bother him.

13:48 And then the rebound was initially touched by Almazan.

13:51 Maverick Ahan Misi though had inside position.

13:55 Gives them less time for Barangay Inebra to come up with a play.

14:00 Oh!

14:01 3 point shot.

14:02 Balls for Ahan Misi.

14:03 In the last possession would have been a game changer for Barangay Inebra.

14:08 But with 12.1 seconds remaining, they need to get two looks at the basket.

14:15 Stan Hardinger looking for Pringle.

14:25 3 point shot is good.

14:26 6.2 remaining.

14:28 Still not over.

14:30 They got the first part down.

14:32 The 3 point shot landed.

14:34 Scottie Thompson, the last ditch effort.

14:36 Will only hit last.

14:38 Game 7 it is.

14:40 FPJ Arena.

14:42 This coming Friday, Miralco and Barangay Inebra will battle it out one more time.
