Petron Ties the Series at 2-2

Petron made sure that they’d extend the series by winning Game 4 against Talk N Text.  Arwind Santos led Petron with 20 markers to go with 14 rebounds while four other Boosters had double digit scores.  Talk N Text on the other hand only had 3 players with double digit scores.   Even the newly awarded MVP Jimmy Alapag struggled in offense as he only finished with 8 points.  TNT’s performance last night was a far cry from their Game 3 outing with they hammered Petron for a 132-105 win.

With the series tied, it now boils down to the final 3 games of the series.  The last 3 games would surely be very exciting.  Both Petron and Talk N Text showcased their offensive prowess in the last 2 games and I’m sure that the following games would be no different.  Surely it’s going to be rough and dirty as both teams would certainly give their all to win the Governor’s Cup.  I’m a big big Talk N Text fan and I’m looking forward for them to win it all and get the Grand Slam.

Falcons Edge Green Archers, Wins 1st Game in Round 2

One shot was all Adamson Falcons needed to put away the DLSU Green Archers yesterday at the Big Dome.  The Falcons led by as much as 22 points after their offensive barrage in the 2nd quarter.  In the fourth period, the Archers slowly chopped the lead as Vosotros and Dela Paz took charge.  Down 3 points with about 15 seconds left, Vosotros drained a triple after a timeout to tie the game at 66.  Nuyles on the other hand made a go-ahead basket on the other end to put the Falcons up by 2 markers with less than a second left in the game effectively winning the game for his team.

Coming back from a 20 point deficit and losing it in the dying seconds is a very tough loss.  Had La Salle made a couple of shots in the 2nd period, the outcome of the game might have been different.  There’s no use crying over spilled milk, but I do hope La Salle learns something from this experience.  The second round has just begun and La Salle needs to work on its game to make sure that they’ll reach the playoffs.

Nets wins back to back against Raptors

The New Jersey Nets defeated the Toronto Raptors twice this week when they visited London for the first regular season games held in Europe.  The change of scenery might have worked for the Nets as they beat the Raptors twice this past week.  In their first game, the Nets defeated the Raptors 116-103 in regulation then in their second meeting, the Nets needed 3 overtime periods to put away the Raptors.

Thought New Jersey would surely miss the playoffs this year, I think it’s good that they won a rare back to back game, especially now that they recently acquired Deron Williams.  Winning games will at least help them gain confidence that they can carry over to the next season.  I hope the Nets can carry the confidence and winning attitude when they get back to the US.
