This match on its own was one of the greatest things i've ever watched on the entire PBA Tour, from Marshall's first frame gutterball to the almost 7-10 conversion to the 289 game. This is the second best PBA telecast I've ever watched, behind the 2023 Super Slam Cup Finals, that telecast was the greatest of all time with almost being the first telecast to have 2 300 games in the same telecast.
