It’s an early clash of powerhouse teams in the PBA Governors’ Cup.
San Miguel and Brgy. Ginebra headline another Tuesday slate in the PBA, but while both teams are considered favorites for the Governors’ Cup title, they are on opposite ends of the spectrum based off of their week 1 performance.
The Beermen are business as usual, taking the early lead in Group B with a 2-0 mark after two separate monster performances from June Mar Fajardo and import Jordan Adams.
Fajardo put up 37 points in 24 rebounds in the opening win vs. Phoenix, while Adams dropped 50 in a win against Blackwater.
