Alaska looks to dethrone San Mig Coffee and claim a Commissioner’s Cup finals seat with a win in Game Four of their best-of-five semis series Saturday at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.
The Aces and the Coffee Mixers face off at 6:15 p.m. with the former holding a 2-1 lead in their duel.
“We will go all out for it in Game Four,” said Alaska coach Luigi Trillo as his wards took the series lead with an 89-82 overtime win in Game Three.
Despite the victory, Trillo said the Aces need to get better on the defensive end.
“Still not satisfied with our energy to start the game. We also allowed them to score 45 points the first half,” he said.
San Mig Coffee coach Tim Cone admitted his team was totally outclassed by Alaska in the extra period.
“Bottom line is, we were outplayed, and more importantly, outcoached in the last five minutes of the last game,” said Cone.
“We’ve got to be better. I’ve got to be better going into Game Four. Our only concern right now is getting this series to a Game Five whatever it takes.”
James Yap is a doubtful starter for the Coffee Mixers due to a nagging back injury and Cone needs Peter June Simon to be more active on offense.
