Jericho Cruz and Cameron Clark starred for San Miguel Beer as it flexed its full might anew and dealt Blackwater a 105-86 beating in the 2023 PBA Governors’ Cup at the PhilSports Arena on Wednesday, Feb. 1.
The two took turns in the first half onslaught that allowed the Beermen to establish a sizable margin which proved to be enough to even cushion a second half run from the Bossing.
San Miguel dominated Blackwater in that span, exploding for 30 points with Cruz, June Mar Fajardo and CJ Perez conspiring for a blistering 16-0 blast that turned an already comfortable 14-point lead, 47-33, into a massive 30-point advantage, 63-33 late in the first half. “The players are playing well and they are defending well. That’s why I think our offense is going up also because of our defense. In our motto we’re just bringing in our defense to go to our offense. It’s the defense triggering our offense,” said head coach Jorge Gallent.
Fajardo posted a double-double of 17 points and 16 rebounds while Perez added 14 points, six rebounds and six assists. Marcio Lassiter also contributed 13 points spiked by three triples for SMB which now rose to a 2-0 record in the standings.
