"Siguro today lang, mas nag-focus kami sa task at hand. Kailangan namin lahat ng panalo eh. Pero nawala 'yung pressure na kailangan dapat makuha." said Petro Gazz head coach Rald Ricafort.
"Naglaro lang kami ng nage-enjoy sila, and mas naging clear lang 'yung mag-trabaho 'yung individuals sa roles nila." he added.
Mylene Paat was the lone bright spot for Chery with 10 points.
