00:18Let's go back to the action in ULA with teammate Rafael Bantayreal.
00:23Northport Batangpier kept their chance to advance
00:28in the semifinals of the PBA Commissioners Cup playoffs last night
00:32in Raneta Coliseum.
00:34After three disappointing games,
00:37it seems that Northport has finally found their form
00:40that was feared by many during the regular season.
00:44But Ginebra did not just lose
00:47and their trademark never-say-die attitude was revived.
00:51Only two minutes left in the game
00:54when Ginebra forced the next three turnovers
00:58that they used to make a 10-0 scoring run.
01:02But a deadly basket from the in-court,
01:05Kadim Jack, saved Northport.
01:07In the end, Batangpier held the 108-103 victory.
01:12Jack scored 39 points and 15 rebounds
01:17while 20 markers posted the best player
01:21of the conference frontrunner, Arvin Tolentino.
01:47For RJ Abarientos,
01:49let's go back to the next game to finish the series.
02:03In the second game,
02:05TNT Troop won 3-1
02:08after being defeated by Rain or Shine Lasto Painters.
02:1193-285.
02:13Bumida for his teammate Calvin Oftana
02:16who scored 26 points.
02:19What we showed inside,
02:21we just wanted to prove to ourselves
02:26that we can do it.
02:28We just need more effort.
02:30The past three games, I think,
02:32the past three games,
02:33right now, everyone saw
02:35that everyone's effort was there.
02:38Ginebra and TNT just need one more win
02:42to make it to the PBA Commissioners Cup Finals.
02:47On Friday, we'll find out
02:49if the underdogs can advance to the championship round
02:53or if the underdogs can recover.
