00:00Alamin natin na mga kaponang nanguna sa bakbakan sa PBA Philippine Cup kagabi sa Inares Center Montalban, Rizal.
00:09Narito ang report ni Timmy Jamaica, Bayaka.
00:14Matapos ang apat na sunod na talo, muling nakabalik sa win column ang Phoenix Fuel Masters.
00:20Matapos dominahin ang Terra Firma Jeep 107 to 76 sa pagpapatuloy ng PBA Philippine Cup sa Inares Center Montalban, Rizal.
00:28Malakas ang simula ng Fuel Masters na agad nagtala ng 37 to 20 lead sa unang yugto.
00:34Pagdating sa third quarter, lumobo pa ito sa 84 to 68 bago tuluyang pinatahimik ang Jeep sa huling quarter para sa lyuhan ng panalo.

00:49May tiglabing dalawang puntos naman si na Jason Perkins at Brian Santos kaya't umangat ang Phoenix sa 2 to 5 record.
00:56Ang ultimate goal namin is to make the playoffs.
01:01Pero hindi namin tinitignan yung ano yung playoffs ang tinitignan namin is the next game.
01:10Initially it was Terra Firma, so we prepared very, very hard for Terra Firma.
01:16They give so many different looks defensively.
01:19Tonight was a good step in the right direction.
01:25And it's a credit to the coaching staff.
01:26We see how hard they work to give us the blueprint to go out there and execute.
01:32And early on this season, we've had our struggles.
01:35But like I said, this is the first step in the right direction.
01:38Sa second game naman, San Miguel Beermen ang nagpaulan ng punto sa kanilang 158-170 na panalo.
01:47Contra Titan Ultra para mapanatili ang kanilang libang sunod na panalo.
01:51Pinangunahan ni CJ Perez ang first half explosion ng Beermen.
01:55Na nagtala ng 24 points at 3 of 3 mula sa 3 dahilan ng 41 point halftime lead.
02:00Hindi na nakabawi ang Giant Risers at nalasap ang kanilang ikalimang pagkatalo.
02:05Natapos si Perez na may 26 points habang gumawa ng historic triple-double si Junmar Fajardo na may 12 points, 12 rebounds at 10 assists.
02:14Nagambag din si Jericho Cruz ng 24 points, Don Soliano ng 20 at Jeron Teng na may 15 points at 6 rebounds.
02:23We're honoring the game.
02:25Talagang nagpo-focus pa rin kami.
02:26And syempre, it's basketball.
02:28Hindi natin alam kung ano mangyayari.
02:30So, hanggat hindi pa natapos yung laro, talaga nilalaro namin yung best namin.
02:35Overall, it's a team effort eh.
02:39Especially yung bench namin.
02:41If you notice, talagang tambak yung first group namin sa second group eh.
02:45107 points versus 51.
02:48That's a 60%, 66% ang output namin galing sa bench.
02:56And then, makikita mo naman eh, during the playoffs talagang inaasahan ko yung bench eh.
03:01And then, this is what happened tonight.
03:05Dagdag pa ni Coach Leo, target ng team na makapasok sa top 4 patungong playoffs.
03:10In order for us to get into the top 4, which is our target, so we need to have at least 8 wins eh.
03:19So, more or less naman, alam naman nila yun eh.
03:21That's why, yung break namin, gagamitin namin for us to be consistent and to get into top 6.
03:29Because after our next 4 games, it will be a playoff games eh.
03:34Magpapatuloy ang aksyon sa PBA sa Biernes, November 14 sa Araneta Coliseum, Jamaica Bayaca para sa Atletang Pilipino para sa Bagong Pilipinas.
