Canaleta outstreches Alaska Ace Jayr Reyes
for one of the 8 boards he pulls down.
- Post game Player-of-the Game Interview-
Canaleta is in the limelight once again.
PBA Courtside Correspondent Aaron Atayde enjoys the basketball game.
This guy looks very happy with his job.
As for me, I too, am happy with my job.
Meralco Over Barako Bull
Meralco -83 Barako Bull - 75
Big Mac always hits the big baskets.
In this thrust, Willie Miller and Dylan Ababou double Capt. Hook.
Macmac puts in 17 points, takes down 4 boards, dishes out 2 assists,
and steals the ball once. [18 minutes on the court]
Gabby Espinas, another Bolt that can strike from anywhere anytime,
scores 16 points and grabs 6 rebounds [3 off]. [32 minutes on the court]
Cardona - Looking for the right moment to make his move.
- Just do it -

Two bigs, Dorian Pena of Barako Bull and Asi Taulava of Meralco,
[leading rebounders for their teams - Taulava w/17, Pena w/14]
seem to be playing rough ball in this bit of action [4-frame sequence]
.
.
Non-call.
If you can't beat them and don't wanna join them
- just sigh and stick your tongue out.
Just like I stated before, the PBA is where one finds little boys [trapped in big men's bodies] playing basketball [whilst being guided by coaches, who themselves, occasionally behave like little kids] in a big dome in Cubao.
Kidding aside - I have a lot of respect for the professionals [from the players - veterans, rookies, whoever, to the coaches, the courtside correspondents, the writers and my co-photographers] who just try to do a good job each time they show up at the PBA.
