Tyler Bey presided over a huge second half storm as Magnolia completed an epic comeback from 26 points down to nip Ginebra, 93-91, in the 2023 PBA Commissioner’s Cup before a huge Manila Clasico crowd at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, Nov. 19.

The Hotshots didn’t play like a team that has been unbeaten for a couple of months now in the first half but Jio Jalalon provided the spark before Bey put on the finishing touches in a huge fourth quarter flurry.

Bey dropped a double-double performance of 31 points and 10 rebounds – 16 of which he unloaded in the final frame including the two nerve-wracking free throws that shoved Magnolia back to the driver seat, 92-91, with 11.5 seconds left.

Up by one, 91-90 Ginebra had several chances to pad the lead but Maverick Ahanmisi missed a three-point attempt from the corner while Scottie Thompson overcooked a short stab off his offensive rebound before the foul that sent Bey to the foul line.

Thompson had another shot at the basket with 5.5 seconds left but he was defended well by Mark Barroca.

Jalalon, who anchored Magnolia on both ends of the floor, forcing turnovers and converting on the other end in the huge third quarter explosion, provided support to Bey with 15 points.

His backcourt partners Barroca and Paul Lee chipped in 13 and nine, respectively.

More than Bey and Jalalon’s explosion, however, it was the Hotshots defense that helped them turn the tides in the victory that kept them undefeated in the season-opening conference after four games.

The pressure on Ginebra guards was unrelenting while the defense in the interior was unforgiving for Magnolia, limiting the Kings to just 38 points in the last two quarters after allowing them to put up 60 in the first half.

Magnolia’s defense focused on stopping Ginebra import Tony Bishop who still finished with 21 points but was held to measly 5-of-17 shooting from the field.

Ahanmisi tried to bail Ginebra out with 21 points including the two big triples down the stretch, the last one gave the Kings an 89-86 cushion, but was not enough to help his new team pick up its second win.
