Post-Game Locker Room Quotes & Reactions

Standard Game Recap (600–900 Words)

"In NBA Official Matchup basketball, winning on nights when the opposing team makes a second-half push comes down to defensive rebounding and ball security. Our group stayed connected in Q1 (29–27), walled off the paint (52–46 points in the paint), and trusted the extra pass in crunch time."

— NU Bulldogs Head Coach (Post-Game Press Conference · SM Mall of Asia Arena / Smart Araneta Coliseum)

"We knew Ateneo de Manila University would come out aggressive, so our focus was dictating the tempo early and getting our second unit involved (35 bench points). Once our defensive stops fueled our transition spacing in the second half, the rim opened up and we executed our fourth-quarter sets to finish strong at 122–114."

— NU Bulldogs Leading Scorer (33 PTS) (NU Bulldogs Player of the Game)

"Give credit to NU Bulldogs—they shot 49.8% from the field and 39.4% from three-point territory while winning the rebounding battle by 7. We competed hard through the opening half (Ateneo de Manila University 57 – NU Bulldogs 61), but we have to clean up our weak-side box-outs and third-quarter live-ball turnovers before our next NBA game."

— Ateneo de Manila University Head Coach (Visiting Locker Room Media Availability)
