San Miguel’s largest lead of the game ended up being the final score, with the Beermen taking the 131-82 victory.
The margin is significant for a few reasons, as per PBA chief statistician Fidel Mangonon III, 49 points in the San Miguel franchise record for margin of victory.
49 points is also the most lopsided loss in Ginebra franchise history, and 49 points is the most lopsided loss for head coach Tim Cone.
As a cherry on top (on the side of San Miguel), 49 points also makes the top-8 among the largest margins of victory in PBA history.
