00:00At center from Tuguegarao, Cagayan, number 37, Dami Guntapai.
00:05From Talisay, Batangas, at forward, number 23, William Navarro.
00:11Also at guard from Ibaan, Batangas, number 3, Wamee Chongsun.
00:16From Angeles City, Vampanga, at forward, number 2, Stephen Holmes.
00:21Aisako and Navarro to tip this off.
00:24And here we go. This tipoff is brought to you by Honda,
00:27the official motorcycle of the PBA, Coach Jude.
00:29I mentioned the lack of real big men here for the North Fork Batang Pierre.
00:34They do have a lot of length, especially in the wings,
00:36as Hulk goes out for an easy lay-in after the steal to start things off.
00:42Again, it feels like he's just more comfortable with Philippine basketball
00:45after one conference, and this conference has really started to shine.
00:49Abigo, Mr. Elianyo, with a jumper, with a three from the corner.
00:54And that is proof, folks, that his shooting percentage is no joke.
00:57Yes, that was a very clean shot coming from the corner for his first basket.
01:03And certainly, he's also playing inspired.
01:07Aisako trying to follow that up, and he gets that to fall.
01:11His first quarter, or two minutes, played a mark rather.
01:14Here's Wamee Chongsun, finds Zangalang inside, and Zangalang battling and scoring.
01:20Rosales on the attack, the turn, finding a wide-open Navarro,
01:24and that is the easiest bucket for North Fork Batang Pierre.
01:28And here's Hulk. He is surrounded by so many redshirts,
01:32but finds the open man, and Zangalang continues the hot shooting streak from beyond the arc.
01:37Let's take a look at that again, the find, the wide-open Zangalang,
01:41and that is going to be with the turnovers today.
01:44Brand new in the ballgame, Jeff Chad, the veteran, finds Zabel Saez.
01:49That is so much better there for North Fork Batang Pierre.
01:52Well, first, this replay, this best move of the game is brought to you by Honda,
01:56the official motorcycle of the team.
01:58Wamee, finding Gomez de Leano in the corner, still nothing.
02:03Kahilig with the tap, it pops up like a fork.
02:05Hulk gets it, and Hulk will reset.
02:08Wamee attacking Jeff Chad.
02:10Oh, brushes him off, and gets the jumper.
02:13That's a favorite move of Wamee Chongsun.
02:17One of his favorites, rather, taking that step back, getting the separation,
02:21and that's a high-percentage shot for him.
02:24Here's brand new.
02:25Oh, wide inside to Zabe Lucero.
02:28And they have been just cutting them up.
02:31Bill Sprain, that he had on last Monday, in training,
02:36let's take a look at Wamee Terafirmar.
02:39That has been the big difference here today.
02:42Oh, Jeff Chad getting an easy bucket,
02:45for climbing up the percentages.
02:47Whether or not that can be corrected later on,
02:49as we take a look at that look again.
02:51What a find there to an on-running Jeff Chad.
02:53Just such an intelligent player.
02:55They will try to take the last shot.
02:57Aludino drives.
02:59Great find inside, and what a finish from Kemar Carino.
03:02Ending possession here for Terafirmar.
03:04The find, and the flush.
03:07Kemar Carino.
03:09Here's Gomez de Leano.
03:11Looking for the right options.
03:13Heelick hands it off to Aludino, who's left open.
03:16And Jello Aludino, with a pretty three to start things off.
03:20Yes.
03:21Or rather, that is a long two.
03:23That's such a great play, coming off that break.
03:29Again, 29-22, and still anyone's ballgame.
03:32But the Terafirmar Jeep have just started out as a hotter team.
03:35But still, just so much good ball movement here,
03:38coming for north for Batang Pieras.
03:41Paul Samar gets three and one.
03:44Paul Samar, that open three-point shot.
03:47Let's take a look at that again, Coach, and Samar.
03:51The Terafirmar players on the floor.
03:53This is a very tall lineup, but maybe a little bit slower.
03:59Also live sports viewing is guaranteed with Signal.

04:06Visit www.signal.tv.
04:08For more details.
04:10Don't look now, Coach.
04:11Only a two-point lead here for Terafirmar Jeep after a great start here.
04:14Coming from north for Batang Pieras in quarter number two.
04:17Gomez Deleonio with a bucket and one.
04:20How did he get that in?
04:21Beautiful left-hand layup.
04:23Let's take a look at that again, Coach.
04:26Gomez Deleonio, so much focus on that shot.
04:30Shot from Paul Samar was big because that was only their second three-pointer of the game.
04:34In quarter number one, they shot one of eight from beyond the yard.
04:37And this time, though.
04:40Alolino, Alolino makes a pass and lost the ball going inside.
04:45Here's Samar.
04:46Wide open.
04:47Jeff Chan with the reverse and gets the bucket and one.
04:50In the league, only behind the rain or shine.
04:54So you know they're going to try to run at every opportunity.
04:58Felt contact.
04:59Thought he got a foul, but no whistle blown.
05:01Here's Arvind Solitino.
05:03And a steal coming from Gomez Deleonio.
05:05And no team wants to keep the ball at the moment.
05:07Here's Samar.
05:08Pulls up for three.
05:09And that's big.
05:10Came in and really gave good production here for Coach John Adele Cardez.
05:14Oh, what a fight inside to Sangalang.
05:16But an even better block from Tolentino.
05:18Let's take a look at that again.
05:20Trying to find Sangalang.
05:23What a block from Arvind Tolentino.
05:24Coach, he's been adding more effort using his length.
05:27And has become just more of an asset here.
05:30As Will Navarro makes a steal.
05:33Goes inside.
05:34Finishes with a reverse.
05:35Will go up.
05:36An N1 opportunity.
05:37Look at this move by Will Navarro.
05:39A sidestep move finishing with a reverse layup and getting the contact.
05:44But then he's a little happier.
05:45Look at that.
05:46How they have been improving in their play this quarter.
05:48Sangalang will get a bucket and one.
05:51Will try to regain the lead here.
05:57Navarro.
05:59Oh, and that's a good steal there from Colt.
06:01Colt surveying the field here.
06:034-on-2 break.
06:04And they did it back to home.
06:06What a find to Stephen Colt.
06:086-30 at the moment as we try to get our graphics all sorted out.
06:12And another turnover here.
06:14Turnover's a problem for the Panathinaikos.
06:16Zamar with the reverse.
06:18Oh, my goodness.
06:19Around the halfway mark already of this second quarter.
06:23This very ever-dating affair.
06:25Kwame Thompson.
06:26Pull-up three.
06:27The step back is good.
06:29Will have to shoot a couple.
06:31Another look at that there, Coach.
06:32That is almost signature.
06:34Yes.
06:35Finding Gundapai.
06:37What a fake from Gundapai who finds Navarro inside.
06:40But a block from Gomez de Leano.
06:42Kwame attacking, driving, and gets a two.
06:47And remember, one man down here talking about terra firma.
06:50It is Eric Camzon who was hit with a playground penalty too.
06:54And Sangalang going inside with an easy finish.
06:56Interesting.
06:57Now they're saying there's now a terra firma way.
06:59And I'm really curious to see what the identity will be.
07:02As Stephen Holt has come in and taken over here in quarter number three.
07:08Part of the terra firma way.
07:10He's been really aggressive to start this third quarter.
07:15We saw a bit of aggression start out the third quarter.
07:18Here he is again going inside and finishing off the glass.
07:21Let's take a look at that again.
07:23Attacking the young blood and finishing off the glass.
07:28Rather at his average of 16 with half a third quarter left to play as well as a entire fourth.
07:33Oh, a turnover here.
07:34Gomez de Leano will attack Flores.
07:37The little bump and he gets the lay-in to go.
07:40Here's Arvind Tolentino.
07:42Asking Zebracero to get out of the way.
07:44He'll attack Isaac Goh.
07:46The turnaround J is good.
07:49Just being too creative and being too skillful.
07:54Luis Sangalang was right there to help.
07:57But Arvind Tolentino just made a beautiful speed move fade away shot.
08:01He called a shot and he got it.
08:03Luis Sangalang backing his way down.
08:05Getting that to fall.
08:07That felt like classic 90s basketball coach.
08:11Back down, back down and finish.
08:13And I knew Luis was not going to give up that ball.
08:18He's got Kate Flores on him.
08:21And Kate Flores gets the offensive rebound and the put-back.
08:2575-68 is the count here.
08:28Clara Firma still in control.
08:32Now deferring a bit more.
08:33Escajilig gives him an assist.
08:38Yes, one guy you don't leave open.
08:40Although that was a challenge late.
08:43And Escajilig of course is a good three-point shooter.
08:47He is now two of two from beyond the arc.
08:49But Lucero strikes back with three of his own.
08:53Yes, Xavier Lucero, once in a while you'll see a three-point shot for him.
08:57He's not going to hesitate if it's open.
08:59His strength is going inside, coach.
09:01But he has that ability to stretch the floor.
09:07Steep and hold against Lucero.
09:09He'll pull up right in front of him.
09:12And it didn't matter if the challenge came steep.
09:15Esquema Cariño, oh, misses the bunny from close range.
09:19Zamar pushing the face.
09:20Alin Bulanadi pulls up and gets the bank open late in the day.
09:25Sorry, put-back for K. Mark Cariño.
09:29That was wide open and that led to this fast break from Alin Bulanadi.
09:34Here's Wamichongso.
09:39And that will be a round and one for Wamichongso.
09:45Here's Jeff Chan.
09:47Oh, nice find inside.
09:50And Jeff Chan finding K. Flores.
09:54The ball just went through two defenders.
09:58Aldridge Ramos tried to...
10:00Here's Wamichongso, attacking Brent Paraiza.
10:02He'll pull up for three.
10:04And he beats the buzzer.
10:06Wamichongso getting the last say in quarter number three.
10:12Now to Bulanadi, who hasn't seen a lot of game time here, Coach,
10:16but will try and make a difference.
10:18Oh!
10:19High off the glass.
10:21The bank is still open for Alin Bulanadi.
10:25Aldridge Ramos and of course, Kahili.
10:28A fine inside.
10:29Just great intelligent ball movement here from Tera Firma.
10:33Yes, very patient offense against the zone
10:36and a lot of movement there allowed that open pass to K. Mark Cariño.
10:41K. Flores.
10:43He'll go on the attack and he gets it in.
10:47K. Mark Cariño.
10:49They're offering the pick.
10:51Chongso trying to improvise something and he gets two to go.
10:55It's been up and down.
10:57High off thing and Tera Firma trying to slow things down,
11:01but then turn it over instead.
11:03K. Flores will run.
11:04K. Flores will attack.
11:05He'll feed Bulanadi, who will score straight away.
11:09Straight away.
11:12Magic Chongso moment.
11:14Yes, it is.
11:16Wame Chongso has been on fire.
11:19Yes.
11:21Very confident player right now.
11:23Just a little bit of space was all he needed to take that shot.
11:27And Wame Chongso has now hit the 20-point mark here,
11:31shooting two of five from beyond the arc.
11:35Save Lucero.
11:36Goes inside, finishes off the glass.
11:38Yes, that's a good move by Save Lucero.
11:41He saw that Luis Angalang was there.
11:43He's a lot quicker and more athletic.
11:46And he just hit a high percentage shot.
11:51Stephen Holt.
11:52Wide open.
11:53Luis Angalang attacks Save Lucero instead.
11:57And that is a top hook, but he gets it to fall anyway.
12:00Yes, nothing much Save Lucero could do.
12:03Nothing much Save Lucero could do.
12:05He tried to almost block that shot,
12:07but it was enough loop for Luis.
12:1217 points already for Luis.
12:14And Paraiso gets a three-pointer.
12:19Gomez de Leano trying to find Isaac Goh.
12:22Isaac with the fake and gets it to fall.
12:25Beautiful baseline play there.
12:28He has been a plus factor here in the second half.
12:32Shooter's bounce doesn't go his way.
12:34Here's Rosales.
12:35Finding Bulanadi again.
12:37He'll have a second pop and he'll get that one to fall.
12:40Yes.
12:41Well, that time it was a wide open three-point shot for Alain Bulanadi.
12:49Luis Angalang.
12:54Goes baseline.
12:56And gets it to fall anyway.
12:58He made something out of nothing.
13:01Yes.
13:03William Navarro.
13:05He'll pull up for three, left wide open.
13:07And he makes them pay.
13:10Sorry, Kevin Paralejo and Amarco Gallo
13:12showing in cinemas this main line.
13:14Here's a drive.
13:15Oh, what a move there from Gomez de Leano.
13:17And he gets a floater to fall.
13:19If you would tell me that the Big Bo Belga will hit a triple-double,
13:23that would be a surprise.
13:24Oh, my goodness.
13:26Alain Bulanadi hits a three-and-one.
13:29He scored so well here in this fourth quarter.
13:32That's his second three-point shot, actually.
13:35Single pick-and-roll.
13:36Holt will pull up.
13:38Long two.
13:39Makes it.
13:42Nice move by Stephen Holt.
13:44Another look at that here.
13:45Stephen Holt has been such a difference-maker.
13:50The long two.
13:52Holt a chance to extend it even further.
13:55Feeds Isaac Goh off the pick-and-roll.
14:00Feeding Isaac Goh for an iconic floater here in this contest.
14:10Well, not quite sure.
14:11Either way, here's Cate Flores.
14:15Go in and finish off the glass.
14:17That's a big basket there from Cate Flores.
14:19It's big, and it's important that they turn, too.
14:22Here's Holt.
14:24Holt will drive.
14:25Holt goes in.
14:26And Holt gives Darafirma the lead.
14:31Wow.
14:32So they turn to Stephen Holt.
14:34Holt drives, avoids not two, but three.
14:38And goes in to give Darafirma the lead.
14:41Arvin Valentino has the attention here.
14:45And he will get it.
14:46Arvin Valentino drives inside.
14:48He gets free.
14:49And the miss.
14:50And that'll do it.
14:51Darafirma gets the stop that they needed.
14:53And they will take the win.
