00:00 Is TNT's import number 20, Rowler Hollis Jefferson.
00:05 The other forward from Cavite, number 45, Kim Auri.
00:10 Number 10, Jonathan Williams.
00:14 And forward from Pangasinan, number 3, Jason Perkins.
00:20 And tip off is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
00:25 Here we go, Vince the Prince.
00:27 This is it. This is pretty much all the marbles.
00:31 Williams. 5, 4, 3 on the shot clock. Gotta get it up.
00:35 And he hits that 3.
00:37 Nice.
00:39 He loves hanging around the rim, you know.
00:41 Making himself available for those offensive boards.
00:45 That's really where he's most effective.
00:48 And you can't give the guy who had a 50 piece in the last game a layup.
00:53 You know.
00:57 He had a lot of points last game. Don't give him an easy shot to get him going.
01:01 Oh, Tuffin draws nothing but air.
01:05 Here comes Hollis Jefferson again. Back to back baskets for Rallier.
01:10 Shots are pretty good, but just not falling.
01:14 Oh, if only Tuffin would have looked.
01:17 That's right. Would have been a good pass.
01:19 And that turnover cost him a bucket. Talking about Phoenix.
01:25 The deep seal.
01:27 But getting caught with his hands in the cookie jar.
01:31 Again.
01:32 Rallier. Shot clock at 9.
01:35 They go back to Rallier.
01:37 Cradles the ball. And he gets it to drop.
01:41 Very similar to his brother, isn't he?
01:43 He has 6 points now. Possibly 7 after he makes this.
01:49 And his team only has 10.
01:51 I think it's shared by the whole TNT. You don't want to have a knockout game on a Wednesday.
01:55 Maganti!
01:59 They're going to say Reyes pulled him.
02:01 Maganti went into him.
02:04 But he was definitely driving the basketball.
02:09 Mano a mano. Shot clock at 13.
02:12 And that's his favorite shot there.
02:16 His sweet spots are numerous.
02:19 They will say in many circles.
02:21 It seems like there's a lid on the rim. It just won't go in.
02:25 TNT on the attack again. Pogoy!
02:30 Welcome back, RR!
02:32 What a lift he's given his team.
02:35 It did not. So he will be charged with a travel as we look at this 300 whoopsie-do from RR Pogoy.
02:43 2.52 remaining and the first.
02:48 Hollis Jefferson.
02:50 Challenge there by Williams but no problem.
02:53 You know what's different I think with Rillier and Rondé.
02:58 Rondé is so good. I mean obviously everybody knows that.
03:01 But Rillier I think is a little bit different in the fact he tries to get other guys involved first.
03:06 And he doesn't draw as much attention.
03:10 Other guys really know they have to step up.
03:15 It's a shared responsibility.
03:17 That's right.
03:18 Because before it's like Rondé's shot has hit. There's a switch. Nope.
03:22 Shot locked at three.
03:24 Good defense by Kelly.
03:27 10 ticks to go.
03:29 Williams looks to be grabbing his left leg.
03:31 And Rillier scores on the other end.
03:34 Alejandro. Oh!
03:38 Banks it home with a three!
03:41 Boarding.
03:42 It is Sunday with the Banks.
03:44 You know the categories that are very important to this game.
03:47 You would actually think that TNT would be up.
03:50 Well they might be if they keep making more shots like that.
03:53 Good shot by Kimmerin.
03:54 But if you look at like for example points in the paint.
03:56 They're up 14-6 in the first quarter.
03:58 Points from turnovers.
04:00 They're up 8-0.
04:01 And fast break points.
04:03 They're up 11-3.
04:04 They're a big addition to this lineup as well.
04:08 JJ gets it again.
04:10 We all know that if Alejandro gets it going.
04:13 He's a good source of points.
04:15 If he gets you, grab him.
04:17 Dipsy new shot for Rillier.
04:20 Rillier.
04:23 Again the third shortest import.
04:25 But he's got one of the highest leaping abilities.
04:28 Oh here we go.
04:29 Good feed by Pagoy to Hollis Jefferson for the throw down.
04:33 Shot locked at three.
04:37 Shot locked at three.
04:38 The pass to Kelly.
04:42 And it's a 6-0 run for the Tropanguiga.
04:44 Season opening.
04:47 Kicks it out to Rivero.
04:48 That three drops in and stops the run of TNT.
04:53 That was a cool.
04:55 Two good plays by Rivero in a row.
04:58 Nice little close out right there against Arrebolga as well.
05:01 Oh but he gets stripped.
05:06 Hollis Jefferson.
05:07 Magical shot and it goes in.
05:09 Wow.
05:10 That is just body control and fantastic touch.
05:13 5.21 left here in second.
05:18 Phoenix up by five.
05:23 Bocon.
05:28 Eight to shoot.
05:29 Kick out to Perkins.
05:31 And that three ball is in.
05:34 There he is.
05:35 He's made his appearance tonight.
05:37 The once hefty now stretchy lefty.
05:41 Hey just looking at some numbers here bro.
05:44 Go ahead.
05:45 Relier with 21 points already.
05:47 Wow.
05:50 But they've made three out of the four.
05:52 Two minutes left here in the second period.
05:55 Hand off to Oftana.
05:57 And that's dangerous when you give him that open loop.
06:02 Perkins against Hollis Jefferson.
06:05 That fall away is good.
06:08 Oh!
06:09 Oh you gotta love that.
06:10 You gotta love that little celebration.
06:12 It was a move.
06:13 Best move the game brought to you by Honda.
06:15 The official motorcycle of the PBA.
06:17 And then.
06:19 51-49 just a two point lead for Phoenix.
06:22 Inside to Daves and he scores.
06:27 Wow.
06:28 Very unselfish pass there by Bocon.
06:32 Daves nice finish.
06:34 Got up high for that left handed finish.
06:36 Alright last shot time.
06:39 They did the two for one.
06:40 Let's see if they get the two.
06:43 Hollis Jefferson goes in off balance shot.
06:46 Oh!
06:47 In the tip.
06:48 Will it count?
06:49 It goes in but we're gonna check.
06:51 It's close.
06:52 I don't know it's close.
06:53 See to that.
06:54 I think that ball was on its way in before the red lights went up.
07:00 The question is.
07:01 There you go.
07:02 Marguerita Quimorin and Jalil Hollis Jefferson on the side of Phoenix.
07:08 It's Perkins, Bocon, Tyler Teo, Jonathan Williams and JJ Alejandro.
07:13 Yeah for sure.
07:14 Over the pass.
07:16 It's gone.
07:18 It's in.
07:19 It's done.
07:20 Yeah.
07:21 They wanted to go for the alley-oop but I think.
07:23 Bocon.
07:24 Reverse.
07:26 So strong.
07:27 Nope.
07:28 Williams.
07:29 It's good.
07:30 Kelly will be called for the foul.
07:32 Jonathan will get a bonus free throw.
07:34 Here and there.
07:36 First, Bocon goes up strong but he flubs it.
07:38 But that little slap there.
07:39 I think.
07:40 Last sequence.
07:41 Inside to Kelly.
07:43 Kick out to Heruela.
07:44 Off Tana with a change in direction move.
07:48 Very nice.
07:51 Kick out to Bocon.
07:56 Big block there by Hollis Jefferson.
07:59 That was a very big block.
08:04 Let's see if they can capitalize.
08:06 Jalil.
08:12 Trying to throw it down.
08:14 Off Tana.
08:18 Oh what a top shot there.
08:19 By Clowden off Tana.
08:21 He's just solid.
08:24 Again, they really did a good job of trying to get in his grill in the first half.
08:29 But he's getting some space now.
08:31 Tater Tia responds on the other hand.
08:35 69-64.
08:36 Which he said is more important.
08:38 Off Tana said that others might see it as a good game for him.
08:41 But to him it wasn't because he was not able to utilize his teammates more.
08:46 And according to Calvin, I promise you that.
08:49 He also looks back at his missed rebounds and all the other things he missed to focus on being better and improving.
08:55 Chiquis.
08:56 Very nice words there from Calvin.
08:58 Thank you Ella.
08:59 And that last play.
09:01 Great defense by Phoenix.
09:03 But just a wonderful play to save the day by Hollis Jefferson.
09:09 Oh wow.
09:11 So 19 points for Calvin Off Tana.
09:14 17 in this quarter.
09:16 Montalvo.
09:18 Feeds it to Reyes at the corner.
09:20 And look at Gallinato.
09:23 Right place at the right time.
09:25 Shot block at 10.
09:28 Gallinato.
09:29 Richie steals it.
09:31 Gonna go up for this high line.
09:35 Two hand reverse dunk.
09:36 By Richie Rivero.
09:38 I didn't know he had that kind of bounce in him.
09:40 What a nice.
09:41 Oh yes he does.
09:42 Two hand reverse from Richie.
09:47 See that's more my style.
09:48 Just do a simple reverse shot.
09:50 But it's effective.
09:52 Very nice shot there from Kim O'Rien.
09:54 Williams hits a three to cut the lead off the empty down to seven.
09:59 Again Phoenix can score in bunches.
10:03 On the other end.
10:07 Tip in.
10:09 Didn't work for Gallinato.
10:10 O'Rien spots up for a three.
10:13 Bucket for Kim.
10:14 Wide open.
10:17 But if somehow Phoenix can get a steal and a score.
10:22 Oh wide open with Kim O'Rien.
10:24 What a play.
10:25 And what a pass from Ryan Reyes.
10:28 Nice defensive quick hands there by Hasul.
10:33 Relier.
10:35 It don't matter.
10:36 You know Relier started the quarter on the bench just to give him a quick breather.
10:40 And I think it did the trick.
10:44 Ninety seventy nine.
10:46 Good defense by Pogoy getting that ball.
10:48 Two crucial passing errors by Sean Magante.
10:51 And look at Relier.
10:53 Just waiting for that shaded area to be free.
10:56 Chance to get right back into it.
10:58 Down by eleven.
11:00 Good pass by Williams.
11:02 Cutting J.B. Mocon.
11:03 Smart.
11:05 The import was gonna probably get that block if he went on the other side of the rim.
11:10 Ninety two eighty three.
11:12 Herruela.
11:14 Knocks down another three.
11:15 Ryan Herruela now with eleven points in the ball game.
11:18 Oh and they get a steal on the inbounds.
11:20 Kim O'Rien.
11:22 Once again.
11:24 Herruela.
11:25 Back to the crease by Brian Herruela.
11:27 Coach Jermaine has fifty eight percent.
11:29 Coach Jojo has forty two percent.
11:32 Got it.
11:33 Stolen by Kim O'Rien.
11:34 Watch the four day season.
11:35 How the PBA Competition comes live at HG anytime, anywhere and any device around the world.
11:39 D&D will try to run Pogoy.
11:42 The bump, the spin, the block by Perk.
11:45 Shot clock continues.
11:49 It's down to twelve.
11:50 Nice strength.
11:54 Oh.
11:55 Just misses the shot though.
11:57 Good attempt.
11:59 Williams has it down low.
12:04 Kick out.
12:07 Verano for three.
12:08 And it's good.
12:11 Tyler.
12:12 Goes up for the chase.
12:15 Every shot getting more and more important as time goes on.
12:21 Oh this is going for the gun.
12:23 Oh.
12:25 Just going for the throw is RR Pogoy on that one.
12:28 That just ballooned the lead super.
12:31 And this is that point in the game where some teams just say,
12:35 what do I gotta do?
12:39 One on three eighty-six.
12:41 They're going to run again.
12:42 The wheels start falling off.
12:43 And look at Kim O'Rien.
12:45 Jumping off with her wrong leg, wrong foot there, but finishing with her right hand.
12:50 Or rather, Phoenix.
12:52 There seems to be a lid on top of it.
12:54 Correctamundo.
12:56 And it seems like the Tropon Giga cannot miss right now.
13:01 Talk about a turnaround.
13:03 What a third quarter they had though.
13:06 I think that was for me, just huge.
13:08 Thirty-seven points compared to twenty-five.
13:13 That's a huge quarter for them.
13:15 One on seven eighty-six.
13:17 The lead has ballooned.
13:19 As you mentioned, it's twenty-one now down to nineteen.
13:22 Just like TNT got hot.
13:24 Phoenix can get hot as well.
13:26 Valier is not yet done.
13:29 He's saying hey.
13:31 Shot locked at two.
13:37 And wow.
13:38 He's in cruise control mode already.
13:42 There's some guys that are shooters and there's some that are scorers.
13:46 And Valier is quite the scorer.
13:49 Look at that.
13:56 Soy is working hard underneath to produce a basket.
13:59 Coach Jolla is giving his other players some burn.
14:05 And everyone has joined that shooting party here by TNT.
14:10 Tunkap can really light it up as well.
14:13 They got so many guys who can play at such a high level, this TNT team.
14:19 Don't forget about Glenn Caputin who hasn't really done much here this quarter.
14:24 And then really towards the beginning of the fourth quarter,
14:29 that's when Brian and Kim started doing their thing.
14:34 I believe it's going to be against Magnolia.
14:36 Quarter finals.
14:38 And you know how good Magnolia is.
14:41 Now with this coming loss of Phoenix,
14:45 we're going to show you guys later on a twice the beat advantage
14:49 versus Morocco in the quarter finals.
14:52 Imagine that drop from two to four.
14:55 There goes the final buzzer.
14:57 Final buzzer.
