GINEBRA vs MERALCO | FULL GAME 2 QF HIGHLIGHTS | PBA SEASON 49 GOVERNORS' CUP | SEPT. 28, 2024

And first possession ends up with Barangay Ginebra. Barangay Ginebra was able to get to the basket a lot. They got a lot of layups at the beginning of the ballgame. They need to be better one-on-one defense. Driving inside, Scottie pulls up from three. Back-to-back triples for Barangay Ginebra. They shot 45% from that three-point area in game number one. I like how Durham did not take that three. Passed it off, gave it a go. Ooh, sizzling start for the Gin Kings. Barquero inside, Hodge fades away. First basket for the Morago Bolts. Andre, what do you like about that? That's a nine-to-nothing run. Nice pass, Nusa finishes. The energy is what's needed for Morago. Slow start for them inside. Tap it, mid-range shot. And it's a hot start for Barangay Ginebra. And they've only missed one basket. We usually see that with Coach Yan-Giao. You might call a time-out now, but they still have it. But Justin Brownlee, two for two from the outside. From the three-point area. Bolt gets called for a time-out. This was a triple by Justin Brownlee. The face, monkey into it. Durham fires a three. Durham makes a three. If you're Barangay Ginebra, you'd rather have Alan Durham take that three-point shot. Jab it for three. Holt with the board. Barangay Ginebra, almost a highlight. Holt finishes. Hey, talk about this energy, Andre, of steep and hold. He has... Scottie posting up Karam. Oh, bully ball by Thompson. That energy. You know, we talked about it. Barangay Ginebra. But right now, Barangay Ginebra is raising the roof here at this point that Annette McCall is here. They are doing it really well. Karam inside, random baits, nice extra pass, do some. Rare easy basket here for the Manal Gobong. Andre, if you look at Barangay Ginebra, they're really good in a series. Those little adjustments that they're able to make. And look at that. You know, you can see Joe Devance is there to really give some minutes. He was the rim protector, and he was the one really defending the other big men. This time, doesn't matter, though. Scottie just rides us higher. Nice hesitation. Kicks it out, jab in. Yes! And talk about efficiency. Talk about how great ball movement. Lead by Ginebra. Another triple. This time, that goes in for Mendoza. Big guys coming off the bench. Salender, who's needing a win against this team. A spades with a rare mid-range jumper cuts the lead down to five. Mendoza made one earlier. Makes another one! A three-point shooting in that first quarter. This match, nice play. Bates, and swatted away! This is the team that essentially won them the championship. So the chemistry between these guys is just on point. Jabba the Kidar really likes that right corner. That's another bucket. Scottie going downhill. Kicks it out. Holtz wide open. Yes, sir! Steps into that three-point shot. Nobody challenging that three of Stephen Holtz. Brownlee can make it a double-digit game again. Hans Holtz steps back. Oh, Brownlee! And on the shot clock, kicks it out. Rios drives, kicks it out. Durham for three. Alan Durham drinks another triple. I was going to say, it was the mids, the fans. But it's funny, when they interviewed him, one person was not happy that he's back. He says, what? Inside, nice fake. No, look who's there. Durham with a basket! Well, he knew exactly what he was doing. Brownlee for four. Finally makes one! It's tough. Ahn Misi against Buckethead of Tribes. Basket. It's good for Mav. Look at the score on the front of the crowd. Oh, Durham gets it to go and beats the shot clock. Three-point shots by Alan Durham here in the second quarter. And how hard is it, Tom, to be down 2-0 in a series? No, best of five, definitely difficult. Because you have to beat the other team three straight times. Is it saved a lot there for the Holtz? Has Brownlee Misi? Put back is good by Mav. Remember, Morocco, you want to be able to actually win games too and face other faces on the floor. The ESL has Newsome getting things going here. In the third quarter, basket is good for Stepao. He's doing and has been doing. He knows the call is for them to be able to be aggressive, to get to the basket, get some points on the board. Really hard to try to get those rebounds. Newsome hangs in the air, ties the game. Notice how Morocco trying to speed the ball game a little bit. Good side job and gets blocked from behind. And the Holtz take a look at this hammer block. Look at that. That's a volleyball spike by Cliff Hodge. And on the other end, Newsome hanging in the air, finishing as Morocco ties his game at 52. Nice pick and roll play, Hodge. Easy finish for the Holtz. Great pick and roll dive. Brownlee for four. JB gives it to him right after that. He tried to challenge that shot, but Justin Brownlee just backed. The posting of Hodge. JB turns, fades, and scores. Talk about Newsome taking over the third quarter. Justin Brownlee saying, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Look at this one. Again, it's against Cliff Hodge. Wants to get closer to the basket because he knows one, two dribbles, he can shoot over. Newsome in and out. Pick pocketed by JB. Brownlee pulls up, triple. Oh, gets it! Hito gets it to Newsome. Newsome. Oh, missed Durham there, but Hodge is there for the finish. I thought Newsome was going to go all the way there to the basket. Inside, Durham all alone ties the game. And because of that timeout, the re-insertion of Alan Durham one-stop. Scottie swings it to RJ. Nice pass to the corner on TC. Gets the triple. One out of four from three-point arc. A little bit late was the challenge there. The recovery. Not alone, definitely not alone. Newsome trying to draw the foul, no whistle, but gets the shot anyway. These guys from Morocco there to help out. Hodge inside, this time attacking on BC. And basket is good. Plus, I think they're going to call out. For the Bulls. JB just pulls over Durham. Automatic for Jussie Brownlee right now. They want to look for Durham. They go up top, Hodge. Swings it to Pasaol. Pasaol gets him a goal. Ages got it in the ballgame. It's against Newsome. Look at that. Brownlee. Look at that! Justin Brownlee on his shoulders. Hodge, meanwhile, continues to roll. RJ pulls it back, kicks it out. Pulled. RJ wide open! Yes, sir! And this ball moves in. Look at this ball. You're talking about this though. Look at that, attacking, making the defense close out or contract and then kick it out to RJ Abarientos. Abarientos knocking down that. Kick out. Corner, Pasaol, three. Alvin Pasaol continues to miss. Bates, inside basket! What's the foul? Pasaol has taken two of those corner shots. Scottie, three seconds. Has to pull up. Challenged by Bates. Ball! That goes in! What a third quarter it has been, Andre. You gotta love these two teams putting on, stepping on the gas, just making it so exciting. Barangay Hinebra, still up by four because check this out. Scottie Thompson, step back, three. Nothing but net. Pass over. The 6'8", Miranda Bates to put Barangay Hinebra back up by four, heading into the fourth quarter. On to Kharab. Pass inside. Hodge, drops it off. Durham with a finish. This might catch up with Barangay Hinebra. Great passing. Oh, look at that move. RJ gets Kharab to drop and finishes with a beautiful layup. So, find the spot and same result for Nunu. How many times have we seen that move? We've seen. Who for three? Yes, sir! A three-point shot. Thank you, Pauline. And right now, Joseph Brownlee taking control of this game, but Alan Durham has something to say about that. He's returning to the ballgame because he had four personal fouls. Durham for three. Durham ties it at eight-seven. By my count, that's his third three-point shot. This Brownlee against Hodge. They go to on BC. No man's land. Just finishes through. Just smooth execution. Drop it off. Durham is there. Do some wide open again. This time, punches it inside. This is what we were talking about. Down the wire. Part of the course is dropping the get on against the lead back. You know, we were mentioning that the goal. Nice pass. Hodge can't finish. Durham is there. Durham gets it to go. Oh, he's loving it. He's loving it. He's getting his points inside. He's getting his points. Durham against Brownlee. Alan Durham hosting up. Gets it out. Dusab gets blocked. Hodge gets it up. And in. Talk about a guy not giving up. Nice pass. Dusab, he's going to get blocked by Scottie. And look at this Hodge. And that's the fifth personal foul of Chopin Aguilar. That might be a triple whammy. Brownlee posting up. He gets doubled. Abrientos ties us at 94. Take a look at this one more time. It's a double team when it's Quinto on Brownlee. Straight recognition by Brownlee. That's just passed to the corner. Quinto, hesitation. Attacks, drops it off. Hodge with another bucket. Wow. Unselfish basketball there. Bong Quinto. I talk about it. Durham, deep position. He gets fouled and gets the bucket goal. Talk about him being strong. Speaking of Hulk, look at the strength of Durham on this one. That's the full weight of Scottie. He's best right now. He'll lead this team to a game two victory. He's up to 34 points. J.B. Wow. Triple foul. After every single basketball that they can. But look at this Justin Brownlee. Knows exactly who he's up against, where to go, how to basically make them pay. That's what the shot with Durham has something to say about that. Missing. Look who's there. Hodge to the board. Durham going downhill. Durham with a finish. If he missed that shot, Cliff Hodge would have gotten that rebound. We're heading into the two minute mark of the fourth quarter. J.B. He's gonna go in. Things get interesting for the Morocco Volts. From the free throw line. As we see that finish by Alan Durham. But J.B. My goodness. These two guys are putting on a show. Newsome though. Three of five. So for Morocco. J.B. Map for the lead. One shot after big shot. Brownlee. Wow. Heft up in this game. Everybody has made a big shot in this one. As Barangay Nebra gets a one point lead back to Durham. Going downhill. Layup. It's good. Plucked the foul. And that could be it for Jopet. Jopet's out of the game. And they're bringing in R.G.A. Barrientos. This five has worked. Yes. For Barangay Nebra. But the only problem is when Jopet sits down. Yes, offensively Barangay Nebra able to score. But when Jopet, that time we saw Cliff Hodge really got hurt. Durham gets blocked. What a stop by Barangay Nebra. Here we go. Brownlee and Durham. J.B. Steps back for three. Brownlee. The block. And the score. By Justin Brownlee. And then Justin Brownlee stepping back. Reminding. They need one more score. Here we go. Newsome. Against J.D.V. Slips. Hodge. Kipit. Survives in two. Stop.
