That First Loss!

I call it breaks of the game! Every team went through that same kind of experience. The goal tending call turned things around but I am not bitter about it. The important thing was that we played good and honest basketball. That game was never meant to be ours! We will be better next time around. 

Coach Norman drew a perfect plan and the players executed it very well, it’s just unfortunate that the ball went in and out of the rim allowing the Alaska Aces to escape with a two-point victory and blemished the perfect record of Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters. I have to give credits to the Aces for giving the fans a good game, this team is going to be a tough team to beat especially now that their super rookie is playing consistently. 

Jimmy Alapag led the team with his 17 points and played a crucial role during their third quarter rally allowing them to take the lead going into the final canto. They had the lead for the most part of the fourth quarter only to bow down in the last two minutes of the game. That final shot of JVee Casio against the extended arms of Kelly Williams ended the winning streak of the Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters. 

On a positive note, five other players from the team scored in twin digits. It means that there’s no particular player who will carry the load in their every game. Anybody can explode at any given time and they are showing that they play as a team. 

Their next game will be this coming November 07 at 7:30PM against Petron Blaze Boosters in Smart Araneta Coliseum. It’s going to be another exciting game as both teams coming from a tough loss. Petron would want to bounce back after an embarrassing loss against Air21 Express.
