I wouldn’t say it was a “nice” game. Since Ateneo wasn’t really psyched enough. I’d like both teams to be in their best condition so there wouldn’t be any room for hindsight, excuses, backtalk etc. when one of them loses.
Besides, it’s more fun seeing both teams play their best.
Yet I’m still happy since La Salle won. I feel it would be unfair to consider the game a fluke just because one of them didn’t do their best and the other gave it 200% (impeccable offense, defense, and mental focus by La Salle). Anybody would agree that they deserved the win.
