Cone Kinabahan sa SMB Fightback: A Close Call for the Kings
The San Miguel Beermen are known for their comeback ability, and they almost pulled off another one against the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings in a recent PBA game. The Kings were leading by a comfortable margin, but the Beermen mounted a furious rally that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. Cone Kinabahan - that's how Ginebra head coach Tim Cone described the feeling when SMB started their comeback.
It wasn't just any comeback, it was a real nail-biter. The Beermen closed the gap to just a few points with a minute left on the clock. The crowd was roaring, the energy was electric, and you could practically hear Cone's heart pounding as he watched his team try to hold on. The tension was palpable, and you could tell the Kings were feeling the heat.
"We were a bit complacent, I think," admitted Cone after the game. "We let them get back into the game and they almost stole it from us." The Kings were lucky to escape with a win, and it was a reminder that no lead is safe against a team like SMB. They're a team that never gives up, they're a team that always finds a way to come back.
The game was a testament to the competitive spirit of both teams. The Beermen showed their resilience, while the Kings proved they can weather the storm and pull out a victory in a close game. It was a real thriller that had everyone on the edge of their seats. But in the end, the Kings held on for the win, thanks to their clutch plays and their ability to maintain their composure under pressure.
This wasn't a game where the Kings could afford to be complacent. They learned a valuable lesson: you can never count out the San Miguel Beermen.
