A SERIES OF ADJUSTMENTS
Admitting that the slow start proved to be Talk ‘N Text’s undoing in their Commissioner’s Cup semis opener against Purefoods, coach Jong Uichico remains upbeat.
“We made some adjustments lang naman at halftime which I should have done earlier. We were able to catch up, but they got a lead and they got their tempo already,” he said.
This was moments after Uichico’s Talk ‘N Text got trumped by Purefoods, 100-94, on Wednesday, the night Denzel Bowles torched his wards for 49 points leading the Hotshots to the win.
“Bowles got his shots early that got him the confidence he needed throughout the game,” he said.
Still, Uichico sees the five-day break as ample time for them to make their adjustments in hopes of equalizing the series come Monday.
“We just have to do a better job in defending. We have to go back to the drawing board and make our adjustments,” he said.
Uichico ends: “It’s a series. You make your adjustments and we’ll see what happens in the next game.” (RL)
