PBA Semis - Day 9

December 27, Saturday - Mall of Asia Arena

Aces Outlast Painters
to Take a 3-2 Lead
Game 5 - Final { Aces - 93  Painters - 88}




- Larger Than Life ? -

Not Really - Calvin Abueva's just so exciting to watch [never a dull moment, bro].  The Beast always plays as if it were his last. 

The Aces wouldn't be where they are now WITHOUT Abueva.


   


Not To Take Anything Away 

from Sonny Thoss [in white] {Game #5's MVP} who may not be as colorful as Abueva .....  yet, #7, too, is ANOTHER reason why Alaska is now only a win away from the PBA Philippine Cup Finals.


   
- Up, Under - and Up Again - for Two ! -


The 3-frame sequence [above/below] shows Paul Lee ->Drive, Elevate, [while Protecting the ball as he Goes under Casio's and Thoss' double team] - 
Get at point-blank range - for a sure twinner.




Unforgiving


The Painters and the Aces had to bleed for every single basket, as both camps were merciless on the defensive end


  


   












Alaska, again proved more steady - even after both teams "taken turns" having runs.
Yes, It's Not how one Starts but how one Finishes that Counts in the End ...Still ..... We PBA die-hards have to wait 4 days into 2015, to find out IF Alaska can end it all or IF the very capable Elasto Painters will Prevail on Game #6.
