Kaewpin had 13 markers while Schaudt had 11 for the Cool Smashers.&quot;I guess ang key rito ay inspired ang mga imports namin to play. Alam naman natin na ilang araw na lang they are going home kaya inspired sila tro play,&quot; said Creamline assistant coach Oliver Almadro.&quot;Sabi ko nga kay Laura, &#x27;Where are young getting that energy now? Where are you getting that defense and serve?&#x27; Sabi niya &#x27;I don&#x27;t know, maybe because of what I ate a while ago?&#x27; Sabi ko siguro Creamline ice cream,&quot; Almadro added. &quot;&#x27;Yun lang they are playing inspired, they are playing happy today. Mataas ang intensity ang lahat. Ganoon naman talaga if its team effort mahirap talunin ang Creamline.&quot; Creamline can close the series on Tuesday. Game 3, if necessary, is on Thursday.In case, the Finals series between BaliPure and Pocari Sweat ends in two games and the battle for third gets tied at 1-1, the bronze medal winner will be decided via FIVB tiebreak.Thai reinforcement Kannika Tipachot was the only Power Smashers player in double figures with 14 points while Dimdim Pacres and Jovielyn Prado combined for only 15 markers.This story was originally published on the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/pvl/news/2017/06/10/cool-smashers-inch-closer-third-place-finish-27163">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
