MANILA, Philippines – Now we have a series.
Expect Magnolia and Alaska to fight tooth and nail in Game 5 of the 2018 PBA Governors’ Cup finals as they break a 2-all deadlock on Friday, December 14, at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Hotshots vow to snap a two-game skid and regain control of the best-of-seven showdown as the Aces seek to ride on their momentum for a third straight triumph and move on the cusp of clinching the precious hardware.
Game 5 will likely be a dogfight with both teams getting at each other’s nerves following Alaska’s 90-76 Game 4 win last Wednesday.
Aces head coach Alex Compton was left infuriated after Chris Banchero was punched in the groin by Magnolia’s Mark Barroca late in the game. (READ: Compton slams ‘dirty basketball’ as Banchero sustains low blow)
Barroca, for his part, had explained that such things happen in an intense atmosphere: (READ: Barroca: Banchero punching incident just heat of moment)
The Hotshots’ defensive-minded cog, though, was slapped with a hefty fine by the PBA for the punching incident.
Game time is at 7 pm.
