It’s win-or-go home for the once mighty San Miguel Beermen in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
The San Miguel Beermen are in a do-or-die situation as they take on the Converge FiberXers in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup on Friday, January 24.
Match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
With a 4-6 record, San Miguel finds itself in a precarious position after coming off back-to-back heartbreaking losses to Meralco (93-100) and NorthPort (104-105).
The defending champions must rediscover their winning form to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
San Miguel will once again lean on June Mar Fajardo, the league's eight-time MVP, to anchor the team.
Despite his steady production, the Beermen need more from their supporting cast, including import Malik Hope, who has shown flashes but is yet to dominate.
Role players like CJay Perez and Juami Tiongson must also step up to give the Beermen a chance against a red-hot Converge squad.
Against an 8-3 FiberXers team gunning for a twice-to-beat advantage, the Beermen will need to bring their best effort.
With everything on the line, San Miguel’s survival depends on its ability to execute and reclaim the fighting spirit that has made them a PBA dynasty.
