                    [Summary] => The jolly, festive atmosphere in one popular bistro along Katipunan Extension Saturday night told it all: Viva-FEU has finally won its first PBL title.


From management to the coaching staff and the players down to the utility men, the Water Force, with their families and avid followers, celebrated for hours after clinching the PBL Unity Cup over Welcoat Paint Masters at the Pasig Sports Center.

Matapos ang tatlong komperensiyang paglahok sa Philippine Basketball League, pinatunayan ng Viva Mineral Water-FEU na tunay silang nabibilang sa liga at isa na sa mga pangunahing puwersa dito.

At mananatili ito.

Sa pagkopo sa kanilang unang titulo, ang 2004 Unity Cup, hindi nakamit ng Water Force ang kanilang minimithi kundi ipinakita din nila ang bagong formula para maging kampeon ‘ang solidong depensa’ ang mayamang karanasan at ang matatag na pananalig.

Isang malaking pag-atake ang pinakawalan ng Viva Mineral Water-FEU sa huling 8 minuto ng labanan upang pabagsakin ang Welcoat Paints, 60-55 at koronahan ang kanilang sarili bilang kampeon ng Philippine Basketball League 2004 Unity Cup kahapon sa Pasig Sports Center.

Matatag na pananalig, mayamang karanasan at mala-pader na depensa. Ito ang pinaghalu-halong sangkap na nagbigay sa Water Force ng kanilang kauna-unahang titulo sa tatlong kumperensiya pa lamang nila sa liga.

Tangan ang isa na namang napakalaking pagkakataon, tatangkain ng Water Force na gapiin muli ang Welcoat Paints, wakasan na ang kampeonato, at buhatin na ang titulo ngayon sa paglarga ng Game 4 ng Philippine Basketball League 2004 Unity Cup finals sa Pasig Sports Center.

Lumikha ang point guard na si Warren Ybañez ng 4 na malalaki at krusiyal na ‘play’ sa huling 44 segundo para buhatin ang Water Force sa 66-64 tagumpay at 2-1 bentahe sa best-of-five finals series.

Seizing the momentum following an emphatic, series-tying Game 2 victory, the Paint Masters hope to throw defensive blanket anew on the Viva-FEU Water Force when the two go at it again today in Game 3 of the best-of-five PBL Unity Cup Finals at the Pasig Sports Center.

Ang laban ay itinakda sa ganap na alas-3:30 ng hapon.

Sa paghahati ng Paint Masters at Water Force sa unang dalawang laro, ang best-of-five serye ay lumiit na sa isang best-of-three affair at ang laban na ito marahil ang pinaka-importante para sa dalawang koponan.

But it didn’t let victory slip away this time.

Leaning on a solid interior defense, the Paint Masters held the Viva-FEU Water Force to a PBL finals low output as they ran away with a 52-35 victory yesterday to level their best-of-five PBL Unity Cup series at one game apiece.

Cheered by a throng of supporters who packed the Pasig Sports Center, Welcoat gave Viva a dose of its own medicine — a suffocating defense that held the 2003 runner-up to a finals low 35-point output.
