VITAL WIN

It feels good to witness a jampacked crowd once again for a PBA game in Metro Manila as the San Miguel Beermen blasted the B-MEG Derby Ace Llamados, 88-83, to nail down the second semis berth in the Fiesta Conference at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium tonight. It’s been a longtime since the PBA has this kind of a big crowd.

I was glad that coach Siot Tanquincen was able to pull off this very important win which I also felt vindicated him from the coaching controversy that has surrounded the Beermen camp in the past few weeks. So impressive the victory was for the Beermen as they defeated the Llamados in  their own game of defensive basketball.

In the post-game interview, coach Tanquincen said:

“This is God’s blessing. But I would say the same, we are going to be judged at what happens after the conference. That’s the reality we have to face. The challenge is how to handle the break – one thing we didn’t handle well in the last conference.”
