San Miguel aims for a 2-1 lead against Ginebra in Game 3 of the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup best-of-seven semifinals on Sunday, Oct. 13.
San Miguel is eager to ride the momentum of its previous win as it faces off with Ginebra in Game 3 of their PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup best-of-seven semifinals at the Dasmarinas City Arena in Cavite on Sunday, Oct. 13.
The Beermen tied the series after their 131-125 overtime win that capped the double header which also saw TNT take a 2-0 edge over Rain or Shine last Friday, Oct. 11.
Match is at 5 p.m.
San Miguel's Game 2 victory was highlighted by the electrifying performance of Terrence Romeo, who erupted for 22 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and overtime.
Romeo's clutch shooting, including a perfect 5-for-5 in threes and 1-for-1 in quadruples, provided the offensive spark that the Beermen needed to overcome the Gin Kings’ resistance.
Romeo said that he is always ready to respond in the big moments given his playoff experience.
CJ Perez also played a critical role in Game 2, hitting a clutch four-pointer with just two seconds left in regulation to give San Miguel a 110-108 lead.
While a foul by Romeo allowed Ginebra's Maverick Ahanmisi to force overtime with a pair of free throws, the former Far Eastern U star more than made up for it in the additional five minutes and the Beermen eventually prevailed.
Romeo, Perez and import EJ Anosike look to sustain their stellar showing for San Miguel, even as June Mar Fajardo continues to battle the fatigue he feels due to the demanding playoff schedule.
The Beermen will bring with them the positives of their Game 2 win even as they brace for a searing fightback from the Gin Kings.
