Alaska makes Junmar play on both ends. He can sag off Thoss because he's a shooter. On the other end they double/triple team him and cut off early entry passes. For a couple of touches, you'd see Junmar kick the ball out after getting triple teamed right away. Alaska does not give him a room to operate. If he were able to get the ball it would be late in the shotclock that he would be hurried.
Alaska is also capable of playing man-to-man against the Beermen. They are so good at dragging out games and force teams to bleed points. They are alos one of the best perimeter defending team in the league (Meralco ranking 1st).
San Miguel Beermen's play is really simple. They either go to the post to Junmar or dribble-penetration with their guards. Santos is free to roam. After the first quarter, you'd see how hard it is for them to do both thus seeing forced shots.
How about for totals, CMM? I'm leaning towards the OVER since Alaska started slowly and I don't expect them to do that 2 games in a row.
