Throwing haymakers at each other one after another in the waning seconds of Game 2, SMB’s bid of reestablishing its dynasty was endangered to falling into a 0-2 hole if not for the late game heroics of CJ Perez and Marcio Lassiter. The Bolts, for almost the entirety of the first two games of the series, had the Beermen on the rear – something that SMB head coach Jorge Gallent wants to change coming into the crucial turn in Game 3.
For the side of Meralco, the last thing head coach Luigi Trillo wants to see from his charges is to dwell on the ‘what could have been’ in that Game 2 loss. The one-time champion coach reiterated that he is sticking to his guns and his belief in his players never wavered even in the huge collapse.
