MANILA, Philippines — It’s Alaska whose back is against the wall entering Game 6 of the PBA Governors Cup Finals at the Ynares Center in Antipolo on Wednesday but Magnolia coach Chito Victolero said yesterday he’s treating the potential clincher as a do-or-die battle for the Hotshots. The Hotshots won Game 1, 100-84, and Game 2, 77-71 but the Aces roared back to even the count by thrashing Magnolia in Game 3, 100-71 and Game 4, 90-76. Lee, named Best Player of the Conference before Game 4, hadn’t been particularly impactful in the series until he buried the winning shot. Victolero, chasing his first PBA crown like Alaska coach Alex Compton, said it was God’s will that Lee converted. “It’s like we’re up 1-0 in a best-of-three but I’m treating Game 6 like a do-or-die,” he said.
