Second game now and it's a close one with Magnolia ahead by a shot 39-37, very low scoring ballgame. I won't bet for the winner but will bet for under 174.5 @1.89 as i think the low scoring trend will continue in the second half as Magnolia is known to be a defensive team.
That's a win! The total score was only 170 points. I didn't expect it to be a close game as Magnolia is such a dominant team during their winning streak. However, they experienced their first loss with their new import. It was a great game, and Cliff Hodge really played inspired, grabbing 8 offensive rebounds, which also makes him the best player of the game.
Tonight's games were a lot of fun! Surprisingly, both heavy underdogs won their respective games.
You didn't expect it to be a close game? I felt the opposite of it.
I mean it's a battle for the 6th seed, and it's one of the most important games for them because that loss will increase their chances of them facing the top 2 teams.
That game was very close, but not as close on the first 3 quarters of the game. There was one point where Meralco lead as many as 13 on the 1st half, but the Hotshots made a 24 point turnaround to get a double digit lead on the 3rd quarter and since then, it was a back and forth already. It's good that I didn't bet on this game and even the first one because I might lose my money if I did.
Phoenix managed to snatch the game against Converge like what you said the game is too early and that early lead can be taken away once the opposite team rally back and bring that tight defense just like how Phoenix did, though it's a close game that snatch win from Phoenix give them that hope to continue chasing for the slot for the next round.
When I saw that Converge can't establish a huge lead against them on the first half, I already knew that it will be a close one. Nevertheless, I didn't expect to be this close knowing that Phoenix is a huge underdog on this match (just basing on the odds that I shared a while ago).
Since last conference, many are saying that this Serrano has a bright future already with the Fuelmasters because of how he played in some of their games and tonight, he showed it once again - scoring 28 points and that floater on the final seconds of the game to lead by 2.
Who put their bets on either Phoenix or Meralco tonight? Share it here.
