In most cases, game 7's of any series does not end up delivering in the pre game hype. It's hard to imagine how a game with so much at stake can live up to the expectations of fans of being one of the best ever. It happened Wednesday night.
I was more than happy when my boss postponed my trip to Phoenix for some pressing matters at work which gave me the chance to cover the 7th game as the television anchor with Norman Black as the analyst, Dominic Uy, Patricia Hizon, and Ceska Litton as the courtside reporters. (Thanks to Ceska for the pic from the production room) It was a first for me to cover the last game of the PBA Finals and it was "awesome".
As a commentator and a fan, I really was in "awe" watching the two teams combine talent and heart on their way to a masterpiece. Well, sans the last possession(s) of Alaska, it was as good as it gets for the PBA. The coaching was excellent. The officiating was consistent. The players were at the top of their game. The fans were cheering in full force. No Ginebra nor Purefoods, the two most popular teams and yet still a blockbuster with ratings and attendance that made Commissioner Barrios smile from ear to ear.
Congratulations to the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters!
