Magnolia Beverage Masters Basketball Games Updates

• Play 48 minutes of intense ballgame
  It doesn't matter if Magnolia Beverage Masters started or finished strong. The key to winning every ballgame is to give the opposing teams 48 minutes of hell on both ends of the court. When Magnolia Beverage Masters started strong against Red Bull and Coke, they lack the firepower to finish them off. Against Barangay Ginebra, they were simply outplayed by the Gin Kings.
  
• Develop a killers' instinct
  This was the main reason why Magnolia Beverage Masters lost to Red Bull and Coke after a masterful win over Purefoods and Talk and Text. Complacency seems to crept the Magnolia Beverage Masters players everytime they led the opposition before the last crucial minutes of the game.
  
• Dorian needs to blend with the team fast
  It's understandable that Dorian is not yet performing 100% as he used to play for two reasons. Being not yet 100% in game shape and a little chemistry factors. In order for the Masters to win the remaining 4 games, Dorian needs to contribute...FAST!
  
• The Guards/Shooters must step up
  In Magnolia Beverage Masters lossing efforts to Barangay Ginebra, Magnolia Beverage Masters guards were simply outplayed by their Gin Kings counterpart. In that game, none of Magnolia Beverage Masters vaunted guards scored in double digit as compared to the Gin Kings combo of Jay-jay Helterbrand and Ronald Tubid. To add insult to the injury, the two combined to score 61 points in that ballgame, a production that is almost double what all the guards and shooters of Magnolia Beverage Masters contributed.
  
• Fortify the team defense
  As with any games, the most important thing that a team should not forget is to play solid team defense. The team can still win ballgames even if the offense is not that good for that night as long as they limit the other team's production. As the famous saying says "there's no offnight in defense".

Should they follow these prescriptions, it's just a matter of time before they fully recover and get back in fighting shape. And probably the best time to start taking these prescription is this afternoon's game against the Alaska Aces!
