“It’s all about our defense. Yun naman yung pinag-usapan naming. We want to respect this team, Terrafirma. That’s our proper mindset,” said Magnolia coach Chito Victolero during the post-game presser.

“We don’t want na mag-relax kami. Good thing yung mga bata, naa-adopt nila,” he added.

Hotshots rookie Jerrick Ahanmisi had his best performance so far as the former Adamson University standout dropped 15 points on 4-of-8 shooting from long distance within a 3-minute stretch in the final frame.

Star guard Paul Lee managed to score 5 points but left the game in the second period after suffering an injury.

“Medyo nagkaroon ng kaunting injury si Paul and as precautionary thing lang para hindi lumala (yung injury). Good thing nandiyan si Mark. Good thing nandiyan si Mark, and he’s a veteran,” explained Victolero.
