The SMB under the mentorship of Coach Leo Austria is now looking for their 24th title while Coach Nash Racela and TNT KaTropa will try to stop them like what they did to SMB’s sister team and this conference’s top seed, Barangay Ginebra.
Racela knows beating the Beermen, who are frequent finalists, is a intimidating task. But he enjoys the chance to go mano-y-mano against the “best” team in the PBA.
“San Miguel is the barometer of the PBA – they’re the best team right now. So it’s nice when you get an opportunity like this to play the best.”
Witness the live action in the PBA Finals with Game 1 tipoff at 7:00 p.m. It will be aired live by TV5.
