‘Buwis-buhay’ Clarito shines as ROS forces decider
Jhonard Clarito delivered a career-defining performance of 20 points and 21 rebounds to help Rain or Shine avoid elimination against NLEX in the PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinals.
Clarito's relentless hustle, inspired by coach Yeng Guiao's motivational talk about "buwis-buhay" (life-or-death) defense, was key to the Elasto Painters' 92-89 victory.
Despite acknowledging their struggles with three-point shooting, Clarito emphasized the team's commitment to hustle plays, including boxing out and rebounding.
Rain or Shine's victory forces a do-or-die Game 3 for a semifinals berth against NLEX.
