For a stacked team like San Miguel, anybody could explode any given night.

It was import Jordan Adams’ turn on Sunday, Aug. 25.

Adams dropped 50 points he spiked with 11 rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block in San Miguel’s 128-108 win over Blackwater in the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup.

The former Memphis Grizzly said having reliable teammates who can pick up the cudgels any time allowed him to shoot the lights out in his second game with the team.

He debuted with 24 points and nine rebounds against Phoenix three days ago.

“We have a great team. There’s a lot of guys to worry about so I was able to find my shots within the offense,” said Adams, who shot six three-pointers for San Miguel.

That could not be any truer.

In San Miguel’s season opener against Phoenix, it was June Mar Fajardo who carried the team on his shoulders with 37 points and 24 rebounds.

 

Against the Bossing, Adams drew help from five other players who turned in double figures.

 Fajardo had a relatively quiet night but still produced 13 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal.

CJ Perez fired 14 points on top of seven rebounds and four assists, while Cruz had 12 points built on two triples.

Kris Rosales and Vic Manuel added 10 points each.

Even Don Trollano and Jeric Teng chipped in as they combined for 16 points.

 “I think every night could be somebody else’s night. We had a good week of practice, and it just showed here in the second half,” said Adams.
