00:00Actually, he played well in their San Veda game.
00:04Even though they lost.
00:06The confidence of this guy, what's missing here is the shooting from the outside.
00:13First possession, here in the EAC, ball to Harvey Pagsanhan.
00:18Gortiza, pull-up, too strong.
00:21And Mangupat comes up with the rebound.
00:23Great match-up here, Escamiz and Gortiza.
00:32Igliani, back to Clint.
00:35Loristo, against Escamiz.
00:38Escamiz, step-back, baseline, short.
00:42Offensive rebound for Igliani.
00:44There's Concepcion again.
00:46Ooh, Concepcion!
00:48Diving for the ball.
00:51Offensive rebound again.
00:52Offensive rebound again.
00:54You're really going to beat the kid.
00:57Yam's effort is unbeatable.
01:01Because we're just getting started.
01:04Offensive rebound again.
01:05He's still the one who shoots, right?
01:08You thought it was a turnover, diving for the ball.
01:11Ooh, Loristo with the block.
01:14He shot the floater in the middle, the challenge.
01:17Because you're the shooter.
01:18So the tendency of you is, you know where the ball will fall.
01:23That's the advantage of Yam Concepcion.
01:26And he jumped so high.
01:30Mangupat, given to Escamiz.
01:32Second shot for Clint, is in.
01:37At this early stage of the match-up.
01:39Randy not happy with Hubilla's defensive effort.
01:43And Hubilla gets blocked by Loristo.
01:45He thought he was going to score on that fast break.
01:48On that full screen.
01:49But Loristo finished him off.
01:51And here's the fast break for the AAC.
01:53Five points for Harvey Pagsanhan.
01:55And their position at the top.
01:57With the team starting to gel better in this second round.
02:00It's all a matter of consistency.
02:02And effort for the Cardinals to sustain that momentum.
02:05Coach Randy Alcantara wants to see extra effort on defense.
02:09And consistent energy from start to finish.
02:11That's all from Courtside.
02:12Back to you, Anton and Beau.
02:14In our first round.
02:15But if they win today.
02:17They're upper hand.
02:18They're number two.
02:20Hubilla.
02:21Wow.
02:22Okay.
02:24Chris Hubilla, not really known as a shooter, Beau.
02:27That's what we're saying.
02:28Chris Hubilla is lacking.
02:30But now he's showing us.
02:33It looks like Chris experienced that.
02:36Luciano is going easy on them.
02:38This is his shot.
02:39He doesn't want to get close.
02:43And Beau, prior to that three-pointer.
02:46Hubilla was zero for two.
02:48For the whole season.
02:51It's easy for him to get up.
02:53It's not hard for him.
02:55Wow, Beau.
02:56They're giving Recto the go signal.
02:58And the green light.
02:59Wow, what a move.
03:00Welcome back.
03:01Welcome back, JC Recto.
03:03They're giving JC Recto a lot.
03:05Coming from his canvas on top.
03:07Handed off to JC Recto.
03:08Attack.
03:09One-on-one.
03:10Discard.
03:11Here's RB.
03:15Offensive rebound by Wilmar Ocdana.
03:18Ochaco.
03:19In and out.
03:21I think, Beau, they appreciate JC being a statistician.
03:26That's why they still trust him.
03:35So they are not trying to work him back slowly into the flow of things.
03:41They're just giving him the ball.
03:43Yes.
03:44It's up to you to discard it.
03:45We know you can do it.
03:47You can do it.
03:49Joaquin went in earlier this time.
03:51Yes.
03:52In the last game, he went in in the second quarter.
03:56But now, you saw Lucero.
03:58He went in.
03:59Ocdana.
04:00Free.
04:02That's what you expect from Wilmar Ocdana.
04:05Those ball screens that pop out in the corner.
04:09Or here on the elbow side.
04:12If you leave it free, it's free.
04:14Here's Cuenco.
04:16What a play by Mapua.
04:20Hand-off for Quinal.
04:21Quinal blocked by Recto.
04:24JC Recto.
04:25Stolen away by Ocdana.
04:29And the escape dribble and the basket for EAC.
04:36Jude Bagay.
04:40The counter.
04:41Still after turnover.
04:44And...
04:47Ocdana steals again.
04:50From Recto.
04:52Hand-off.
04:54Sinus Cuenco.
04:56Inside pass.
04:57Igliani.
04:58Bit in.
05:00And a steal by who else?
05:02Clint Escamiz.
05:04Clint Escamiz's specialty.
05:06Anticipating those passes.
05:08Steal.
05:09He continued that.
05:11It would've been better if Quenco found Igliani earlier.
05:14But his chances are low.
05:17Bakud falling down.
05:19There it is.
05:20Jude Bagay.
05:23Bagay has a lot here.
05:25It's all like that.
05:26It's all about football.
05:29Sinus Cuenco.
05:30Sinus Escamiz.
05:32He continues off the screen by...
05:35Bagay.
05:37Here's the rebound by Bagay.
05:39And one.
05:42Pua was 3-1.
05:43Without JC, they were 4-2.
05:46So, not bad.
05:48Bakud.
05:50The absence of JC Recto is not bad.
05:55His group is still in good hands.
06:05Cuenco.
06:07They were just running a simple ball screen on top.
06:10And when they switched, Cuenco was attacking.
06:14As simple as that.
06:16Sinus Cuenco was playing.
06:20On their 3 possessions, they were just running a simple ball screen on top.
06:25Between Cuenco and Ryan.
06:27And when they switched, Cuenco got it.
06:29And here's Igliani.
06:31He can't leave that free.
06:34This is our 6th deadlock.
06:36That's how intense our ballgame is.
06:386th deadlock.
06:4013 lead changes.
06:48And there's Chris Ovilia.
06:50Based on his body language, he can't wait to get back inside.
07:04Concepcion.
07:05Spin move.
07:06Drop pass.
07:07Extra pass.
07:08Mangubat.
07:09Free 3.
07:12Concepcion's attack was good.
07:14Drop it off to Ryan.
07:17Mangubat was looking for the elbow side.
07:20Here's the ball screen.
07:22They were attacking the switch.
07:24Escamiz.
07:25Stop and go.
07:27Escamiz.
07:30What a play.
07:31This is Chris Ovilia's attack.
07:33He was able to defend it from Gurtiza.
07:36He was looking for the pass.
07:38But we're just deadlocked.
07:40We're just 1st up.
07:41Escamiz.
07:43Puts on.
07:45The afterburner.
07:47Squint Escamiz all the way.
07:5515 points for the reigning MVP.
08:01Ovilia.
08:02That's it.
08:07Concepcion is really using his bench here.
08:13Ubu Pusa.
08:14That's a copy.
08:17He should have given him a copy.
08:20Ovilia.
08:21He knew that Luristo would reach him.
08:24That's why he made a way up.
08:27So...
08:29And you still know how to pass.
08:33Your teammates will be free.
08:38Ovilia.
08:39Scoring at the rim.
08:41Earlier, Luciano was attacking him from the top.
08:44Now, he made Luciano stand up.
08:46He wasn't prepared.
08:47Spin, spin.
08:49He got that basket.
08:52Maybe this will be the best line-up against Netran.
08:55Oh!
08:57Harvey Pagsanhan banks it off the glass for 3.
09:02It's only 4 o'clock.
09:03The banks are still open.
09:04It's still possible for Harvey Pagsanhan.
09:07Pagsanhan denying Clint Escamiz.
09:09They're on a box and 1.
09:11Because they know that Escamiz is hot with 15 in the 1st up.
09:16Escamiz does not care.
09:19There's no box and 1 here for Escamiz.
09:22Escamiz.
09:24Letting him know.
09:27No matter how strong your defense is against me,
09:29we'll find a way.
09:31Gortiza will throw an air ball.
09:35Gortiza's shot was too far.
09:40That was a difficult shot by Escamiz earlier.
09:43But this was the Ovilia basket.
09:47This is Pagsanhan's boarding.
09:53Gortiza's stop-and-go.
09:57Gortiza.
09:59He's really active here in our 3rd quarter.
10:03I like the respect being shown by Ovilia and Luciano.
10:12Machavo.
10:15Lob pass intercepted by Ovilia.
10:18Good anticipation by Ovilia.
10:20Recto with the finish.
10:25A beautiful finish by Recto.
10:27And this is now the biggest lead of the game.
10:30And that biggest lead did not last long.
10:34Kinal let them win.
10:36While making that transition.
10:39Octanang was just behind Bagal.
10:45Kinal.
10:46Oh.
10:48Aguimendi was caught there.
10:51He was chasing Kinal.
10:53Ryan.
10:55Taps it out to Garcia.
10:58Ovilia.
10:59Downhill.
11:00Ryan.
11:01Escamiz's offensive board.
11:05Garcia.
11:06Oh.
11:08Garcia.
11:10Three tries for the catch.
11:13Garcia was the only one who was able to shoot.
11:20That's it.
11:27They double Machavo on that ball screen.
11:30This is what Garcia is looking for.
11:36Nothing.
11:38Bad net for Garcia.
11:40This is what Machavo is looking for.
11:43End one.
11:49Low turn.
11:51Ovilia.
11:53Oh.
11:57Another one.
11:58From one of our star players in the league.
12:00King Jortiza.
12:07Patsan Han sneaks that one up and in.
12:11This is what EEC is looking for.
12:16Jortiza's drop pass was good for Bagud.
12:19That's why it went in.
12:20Here's Ovilia.
12:22Wow.
12:25Directly.
12:29He saw Bagud's pass.
12:31He attacked.
12:32Here it is.
12:35Off the screen.
12:36This was a free kick by Niko Quinal.
12:39It went in.
12:44Ten point lead.
12:45Or rather ten points for Quinal.
12:47Six point lead for Mapua.
12:50Escamiz for three.
12:52Right in the face of his former teammate Harvey Patsan Han.
12:57Ovilia can't go there.
12:59Bagud's pressure is on Ovilia.
13:01Here's Quinal.
13:02Nothing.
13:03Bagud's rebound.
13:07Patsan Han.
13:08Jortiza.
13:09Free kick.
13:10Here it is.
13:12Jortiza.
13:13Pointing to the heavens.
13:16That's why Jortiza screamed.
13:18I was trying to score earlier.
13:21Now it's a foul.
13:27Clint knows he's going to get the calls.
13:30That's why Roman knows how to shoot.
13:33He knows how to discard.
13:35He knows how to get the call to the rivalry.
13:42Jortiza is the one who's in trouble.
13:45Although there's a switch here.
13:49Recto.
13:50Concepcion.
13:51He's back.
13:52Ovilia is going to attack.
13:54Concepcion.
13:55Oh.
13:56He got it.
13:58So he missed for Concepcion.
14:00He was there.
14:02Jortiza.
14:03All the way.
14:06Like we said earlier.
14:07He has 7 minutes.
14:097 minutes and 42 seconds to take charge.
14:12This is what King Jortiza showed us.
14:16Jortiza denying Escamiz.
14:21Escamiz on the move.
14:22Escamiz throws it out.
14:23Recto.
14:24Mangubat.
14:25Line drive.
14:28Ice cold.
14:30Escamiz is in the corner.
14:32Concepcion gives it to Escamiz from the corner.
14:37And it's EAC Basketball.
14:39Jortiza's 13th.
14:41We are tied.
14:43Good recognition by Nico Pinal.
14:4914 points now for King Jortiza.
14:54Earlier it was just 5.
14:55You already have 9 here.
14:58Alone.
14:599.
15:00Lobelia.
15:02Likes this matchup against Oftana.
15:04It's a clear out for Chris Lobelia.
15:06Oftana to Concepcion.
15:09Wow.
15:11You thought Oftana's defense was good there.
15:14Because it's a bit...
15:16Ball to Cyrus Cuenco.
15:19Pagsanhan.
15:20It hit him.
15:22Then on the shot clock.
15:24Cuenco for 3.
15:26Oh.
15:27Cyrus Cuenco puts Mapua ahead.
15:32A cold-blooded triple.
15:36Ice cold.
15:37Uh-huh.
15:39Now EAC has no more timeouts, Bo.
15:42So will they go for a 3 or a 2?
15:44Because they don't have a timeout here.
15:48Pagsanhan.
15:51Jortiza.
15:53Pagsanhan.
15:56Jortiza looks up at the clock.
15:59They will have to go for a 3 now.
16:02Jortiza.
16:03They have to tie for 3.
16:05Short.
16:06Recto with a rebound.
16:08Mapua wins.
16:11Cyrus Cuenco with a game-winning 3.
16:16Our current score is 83-79.
16:21And...
16:23I don't mean to...
16:25make fun of my teammates here, but...
16:27during the timeout, Bo Velga told me...
16:30that they should have gone for Cuenco.
16:33Is that just your instinct, Bo?
16:35No, because...
16:36Mapua's last 3 plays...
16:39they were going to Cuenco.
16:42They were running the plays for Cuenco.
16:44And he's doing a good job...
16:46creating...
16:48and looking for his teammate, looking for his shot.
16:50He even has a...
16:54There.
16:55This is their last play.
16:56Offtana and Jortiza can't go there anymore.
17:03Right?
17:07But it's true, guys.
17:08True story.
17:09Bo said,
17:10they should have gone for Cuenco.
17:12That's exactly where Mapua went.
17:14And Cuenco delivering the game-winning 3.
