GAME 3 is now history and Alaska need not dwell back on having inflicted Magnolia its worst loss in PBA finals history.
There's still a job that needs to be done, according to import Mike Harris, with the Aces still trailing the Governors Cup title series, 1-2, despite coming away with a rousing 100-71 rout Sunday night at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Harris exploded for 36 points, including 22 in the third quarter when the Aces finally pulled away for good.
But the top contender for the conference's Best Import award cautioned his team not to be carried away by the 29-point blowout win.
"We haven't done anything, we just prevented a sweep," said Harris. "You enjoyed this tonight. They know we're not going to quit and we know they're not going to quit. This is one of those games that we needed to win and had they won this game, they're going to Game 4 trying to close it.

"Now we got their attention a little bit more, but they have our attention as well."
Game 4 is set on Wednesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and Harris said Aces are prepared on what the Hotshots are going to bring to the table.
"We got to be prepared. In the locker room, it's not a big celebration moment because we haven't done anything. We just stop from going down 3-0," said the 35-year-old import.
"This is a marathon, not a sprint," he added. (GR)
