00:00Limiting their offense, limiting even what they can do defensively.

00:05Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to game number four.

00:08And this tip-off is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.

00:12I'm Paulo Del Rosario, joined by Coach Mark Molina.

00:14Coach Mark, we talk about strong starts, especially for a guy like CJ Perez.

00:18But it's not just him who needs to get going here for the San Miguel Gearmen.

00:22And we see the first adjustment here as San Miguel goes straight to Junmar.

00:27He had a bit of a slow start in the last game.

00:30Took him a while to get going.

00:31He did eventually finish scoring in the double-digit figures

00:35as Bonquito finally gets the first field goal here for the Meralta Bulls.

00:39Important basket for Bonquito there,

00:42as Meralta was without a field goal for about three minutes already.

00:47Remember, Bonquito did torture San Miguel Gearmen with 13 points in the first half in the last game.

00:53Both out, two up.

00:54Trying to play fully ball inside.

00:56Is able to score despite the defense of Kliff Hodge.

00:59Offensively, a struggle so far for the Meralta Bulls.

01:03They're going to make a couple of changes by going very big.

01:05You're going to see that in just a bit as Junmar Pajaro pulls his way inside.

01:09You know, there's a running, there's always a running superstition

01:15that if you win an individual award, you might have a bad game in that same day.

01:19But not the case for Junmar.

01:20That does not apply to Junmar because he's so used to it.

01:23Just how good Brandon Bates could be as a defensive player.

01:26We're seeing flashes of it in this series in particular.

01:28As Alain Maliksy with the drive.

01:32Chris Pankero trying to unlock this San Miguel defense and has been on point here so far.

01:37Brandon Bates offering the pick here, attacking Junmar Pajaro.

01:40Chris Newsome getting past Jericho Cruz.

01:43Free throw jumper, that's good.

01:45Cruz to Marsha Lasser, they find Junmar Pajaro again.

01:48Bates, the young center, trying to hold him off.

01:52Terrence Romeo has a short shot clock.

01:54What does he do? He pulls up and he scores!

01:58Top plus minus player in this group is actually Chris Ross,

02:01who has yet to register a point here.

02:04He's just been doing a lot here that's not seen on the box score as Alain Maliksy attacks.

02:09And oh! Brandon Bates with the follow!

02:12This best move of the game is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.

02:16And Alain will tell all of us that that was actually a pass.

02:19Very well without the ball.

02:21Active hands here for the Moralco Bolts and it almost results in a turnover.

02:26But Junmar gets it inside and blocked from behind by Cliff Hodge!

02:30Because Cliff Hodge has taken advantage of that matchup.

02:33Another turnover here and Marsha Lasser is off to the races.

02:36Marsha attacks and scores!

02:40Little bump there from CJ Perez.

02:42CJ Perez, Chris Boquero felt the news of getting free here.

02:45Working against Chris Ross. Gets the bucket and one!

02:53Can't really tell from that angle.

02:55But either way, the referee made the decision and it looks like Coach George Gallen,

03:00Junmar was the more active member offensively for the San Miguel Beermen.

03:04They were getting it all done as Chris Ross, able to get the finish and one!

03:13As we take a look at that again, Chris Ross getting the basket and one.

03:19And again, they were able to weather that play which is basically perpetual motion from the Moralco Bolts.

03:25And here's Junmar Fajardo inside for his first field goal of the second quarter.

03:30But of course, San Miguel making a run in that end of the second quarter.

03:34Botol Dua working on Cliff Hodge and scoring there.

03:38Cliff Hodge saying that he got elbowed under the jaw.

03:42And Botol Dua getting the score up the lead here to 13.

03:45This is San Miguel playing big once again.

03:49Attacking Cliff Hodge in the low post.

03:52Oh and Cliff Hodge answers back with a reverse.

03:57Continue playing in here. Cliff Hodge, excellent player as far as off the bolts.

04:04CJ Perez to Marshal Lassiter.

04:07Marshal answers back three with three.

04:11He has been a difference maker here in game number four for San Miguel.

04:16And Chris knew some back-to-back baskets here.

04:20Live in this game. Let's take a look at this first Marshal Lassiter.

04:23He can bring threes off the ball, on the ball, as long as it's a three-pointer.

04:29On the ball, as long as it's a three-pointer.

04:32First quarter, found five against the second.

04:34And these are minutes you have to win if you're a Marauder.

04:37And Chris Newsome is making sure that they have a shallow back.

04:41And Terrence, Terrence blocked by Bates.

04:44Sends it all the way back.

04:45Botol Dua attacking Bates.

04:47And Bates is there again!

04:50Pull up jumper, blocked by Bates.

04:52And then once again, Bates blocking this shot coming from Botol Dua.

04:58Terrence working on Bates.

05:00Passes out to Mike Moe.

05:01Big Moe can't get the three.

05:05Mid-alpha fans up and asking for more.

05:09Bonquito finding Bates.

05:11Bates with the baby hook!

05:13Wow!

05:16And Jokara, the pull-up and the block from CJ Perez.

05:20CJ on the attack, on the move, finding Jericho Cruz in the corner.

05:25Thought about it.

05:26Attacks Babquero.

05:27And scoring off the glass!

05:30Here's Chris Newsome.

05:31On the drive.

05:32And Chris Newsome has been willing.

05:36The Marauder bolts back into this one.

05:38Chris Newsome having a big third quarter.

05:41In the same manner that he did in game number three.

05:45With this excellent play.

05:47Excellent work towards that end of the third quarter.

05:49Marauder still won that third.

05:5034 to 31.

05:53Jericho Cruz gets the second chance points to go.

05:57When they needed big men.

05:59Eight points in that third quarter for Big Moe.

06:02Here's Chris Newsome.

06:04Pull-up J.

06:05Right in front of CJ Perez.

06:08In that situation.

06:10Lane Melixsi misses but gets his own rebound.

06:13Trying to fake out Jumar Pajardo.

06:15And finishes up close.

06:18Shooters know when they miss.

06:20And Lane followed his shot.

06:22And got the offensive rebound.

06:24Here's Jaren Jaramillo.

06:26Oh, he lost the handle.

06:28And now Chris Newsome keeps it.

06:30Newsome.

06:32Working on CJ Perez.

06:34Scored on him just a while ago.

06:36Here's Newsome.

06:37Trying to do it again.

06:38And he does it again!

06:4084 to 80.

06:42And Chris Newsome has 29 here.

06:44Chris Newsome has 29 here.

06:46He has been pouring it on the beer men.

06:50CJ Perez driving.

06:52Finding Don Trolliano.

06:53Now it is Terrence Romeo working on Rios.

06:55The jumper at the free throw line is good.

06:59Terrence Romeo will never lose his confidence in a basketball game.

07:03Even though he has missed a few shots here.

07:05He will take the next one.

07:07Proper shooters mentality.

07:09As Cliff Hodge finishes strong inside.

07:12Remember.

07:13The San Miguel beer men.

07:15When they hit the 100 point mark.

07:17Have yet to lose his confidence.

07:19As Terrence Romeo pushes him up to 19.

07:21Five point lead for San Miguel.

07:23It was a one possession lead just a while ago.

07:25Jumar Fajardo.

07:26Newly minted VPC and you.

07:28Working on.

07:30And finding Botau Tua.

07:32Who finishes despite the pressure from Bates.

07:34Let's take a look at that again.

07:38The feed there from.

07:40Jumar Fajardo to Botau Tua.

07:44Jumar Fajardo rather getting it inside.

07:46And that would be.

07:49Maralco Ball.

07:50For some reason.

07:52And that was thrown up.

07:53Banquero.

07:55With the finish.

07:56And that.

07:57Was one of the strangest sequences.

07:59I have ever seen play in front of my eyes.

08:02Let's see if they can find Jumar again.

08:04Who announces the defender on him.

08:06Quick double there.

08:07Marshall Lasseter in the corner.

08:09And Marshall splashes home a three.

08:12Six from beyond the arc.

08:14TJ Perez.

08:16In and out.

08:17Jumar Fajardo with the rebound.

08:19He knows that Bates has five fouls.

08:20And Bates is not aggressive.

08:23He's going to play with five fouls as well.

08:25Jumar.

08:27And they put him in the action.

08:29That's what we're going to look for.

08:30Going.

08:31To attack.

08:32Jumar Fajardo.

08:34It is Botau Tua with the foul.

08:36And Chris Yusup.

08:38Now with a career high 35.

08:40Chris Yusup did not work now.

08:42It's attacking Jumar Fajardo.

08:44Especially with the five fouls.

08:46That turns it to an open.

08:48He can get a lot closer.

08:50In the next few minutes here.

08:51CJ Perez.

08:52Bonquito right in front of him.

08:53Jumar Fajardo with the pick here.

08:55Working on Bates.

08:56And Jumar Fajardo.

08:57Dumped inside.

08:58Scores an easy two.

09:00And the San Miguel Vieira men.

09:01Will take their time with this one.

09:05And CJ Perez.

09:06With the extension.

09:07He hung up in the air.

09:08And the Predator.

09:10Adds to the count.

09:1211 point lead here.

09:15For the San Miguel Vieira men.

09:16As Chris Yusup.

09:18Unable to get the finish.

09:19But Hodges there to clear it up.

09:22But for the San Miguel Vieira men.

09:23An impending victory awaits them here.

09:25They'll take their time.

09:26As we're under the minute mark.

09:30CJ Perez.

09:32Able to get the floater in.

09:34He's been a finisher here.

09:37This is a reminder coach.

09:39That it is always going to be difficult.

09:41To get into a scoring match.

09:43With the San Miguel Vieira men.
