Rain or Shine head coach Yeng Guiao was very much pleased by the show of character from his wards after successfully passing the first acid test in the playoffs when it survived a hot-shooting Magnolia in Game 1 of their quarterfinals series.
In a game of runs where the loser is determined by which team falters first, Rain or Shine proved to have the poise and mental fortitude to come out on top in a grindout affair.
ROS actually took control for the most part of the third frame before Magnolia rallied back and even established a double-digit lead early in the final frame. “Magnolia really surprised us because they tried to play the game that we also like to play and they were able to keep up with us but I guess we made some big plays,” said Guiao.
Aside from their defensive struggles against Magnolia’s hot-shooting, ROS’ own outside sniping was also not there for the team after shooting just 5-of-26 from deep including a 0-of-12 in the first half.
