Russell Cadayona - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines – Hindi ikinatuwa ni coach Yeng Guiao ang ipi­nakita ng No. 3 Rain or Shine laban sa No. 10 Blackwater sa kanilang quar­terfinals match.

Matapos ilista ng Elas­­to Painters ang 13-point lead, 47-34, sa se­cond period ay pinaba­ya­­an nilang makatabla ang Elite sa 75-75 sa 7:41 mi­nuto ng fourth quarter mu­la sa tira­da ni Carlo Las­timosa.

Ngunit sa dulo ay na­ga­wa ng Rain or Shine na ipagpag ang Blackwater, 95-90, para umabante sa knockout phase ng 2015-2016 PBA Philippine Cup kagabi sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.

“If we keep playing like this, we may end up not making it to the next round,” sabi ni Guiao. “If we want to make the semifinals, we have to play better (than this).”

Humawak ang Elasto Painters ng ‘twice-to-beat’ advantage kontra sa Elite.

Sa ikalawang laro, ti­nalo ng No. 6 Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters ang No. 7 NLEX Road Warriors, 90-88.

Magtutuos ang Rain or Shine at ang Talk ‘N Text sa knockout stage kung saan ang mananalo ang lalaban sa No. 2 San Mi­guel, ang nagdedepen­sa sa korona, sa best-of-seven semifinals series.

Kumamada si Jeff Chan ng 17 points, habang may 16 si JR Quiñahan kasunod ang tig-11 nina rookie guard Mave­rick Ahanmisi at center Ray­mond Almazan.

Nakabangon ang Blackwater sa likod ni Lastimosa, umiskor ng 35 markers at nabigong pantayan ang kanyang career-high na 38 points.
