Mo Tautuaa’s CRUCIAL SLAM CALLED AS BASKET INTERFERENCE in Game 1 | PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup

San Miguel, you got to go to your bread and butter. They’re looking for CJ with a first touch. They ball screen up top. CJ goes to Toua. Mo hesitated. He attacks now. Toua wanted a slam and it falls. Lucky bounce for Mo, but he’ll take it. They have the lead. 9897. [Applause] F will respond. Can RR Pgoy complete his heroics? They go Spain action once again. And you see that the adjustment there with Tolana covering Pugoy. Pugoy still with it. Only four to score. Pogoy throws it up. That’s short. Rebound for Toua. No need to foul for TNT as they can still get an opportunity. Remember TNT is in penalty. So you can’t foul of Tana Manning Chris Ross. Ross still with it. Attacks middle. Lefty push shot. No. A chance here for TNT. We play on. And you got to attack in transition here if you’re heading. Jordan heading. Locked up by Chris Ross. And we have a jump. And this is this is where Jordan heading playing in this first finals game has hurt him in the fourth quarter. lost his footing of that challenge of that steel attempt coming from Chris Ross and then Ross dives for it to tie up heading and force this jump. 5.4 seconds remaining in this game. and San Miguel Beer up by one heading had a spectacular first half with a defense adjusting against him. Only two points with a couple of key turnovers here in the end game. That’s that’s the main thing. I mean, it doesn’t matter if he didn’t score that much in the second half, but the turnovers in the fourth quarter playing a little bit out of control has really hurt TNT. Might be important to note that if TNT gets possession, SMB has one foul to give. So if there’s a scramble, you can give it up. As we take another look at this drive from Toua, able to fake off BGR. The help was there coming from Kelly to make it a little bit awkward for Tatoua, but the high heavens smiling down on Motoa came up short, but it bounced home. 5.4 seconds remaining with game one on the line. And I think there’s a discussion on the legality of the book of Motoa, if it was offensive or not. Wow. This can be huge. And and this is a play that you can review and that drastically changes things. Yes. With a lead on the line and a big decision coming from our table officials before we go to the jump. pressure packed situation. They review the clock first. They set it at 6.2 seconds. And now they will look at that shot of Toua. And that’s the difficult part about the review off of a dead ball because Yep. it changes things. Oh, that is huge. That’s huge. That is huge. [Applause] That is a big ball at this stage because again it it drastically changes the entire situation and and and it can be done because it they they reviewed it in the next ball that is within the rules right now. Again, this jump ball would not have happened if this was waved off early. That that’s that’s right. He’s that play as the ball went up. Motoa will pull. Wow. So, a big ball favoring TNT and they have a jump ball situation to deal with before we restart the action with 6.2 remaining. Again, [Music] everything is happening. Everything. Absolutely. Coach, man, the PBA has given itself an opportunity to review goalending violations all game long at the next dead ball. If the game ended, it would have stood because it counted and it was a play on. That’s right. So that that uh that jump ball Near turnover of heading actually favored TNT. Exactly. And here’s that last play again. Toua will pull on the rim and that’s why he’s called for offensive goalending. difficult call, a testy call, but a gutsy one coming from our table officials because for SMB their case is there was no intention to do anything other than other than slam it home. Yes, that was the intent from Motoa. He wanted to dunk it, but according to our table officials, it constitutes an offensive basketball interference as the ball was up. Did not land clean. Bounced home. Now, if you’re San Miguel, you forget about this. You still have a chance to win this game. Still a lot of time. I think Ross is going to win this jump ball at his heading. So you you big chance that you still get possession and for TNT still a full and a 30. They’re in penalty. So if anything on forward happens back court it could be troublesome for the for the TNT trop 5G. You can see Motoa disagreeing with the call but that’s so much time at 6.2. too. You can see you can see Mo. I was just trying to dunk it. He was He was saying it. Definitely no fault of Mo and we’re left with 6.2 seconds remaining as we go down to the end game here in game one. And and a conservative formation here for TNT with Kelly Williams guarding the paint. Oh, they win the tap and they have a foul to give. Finally, a foul is called.

Mo Tautuaa’s go-ahead slam dunk late in Game 1 of the PBA Philippine Cup Finals was overturned to a basket interference after review. TNT now leads the series after a 99-96 win over SMB.
