It's not over until it’s over for defending champion San Miguel.
The Beermen have taken turns with the Meralco Bolts in the best-of-seven PBA Philippine Cup finals series but are yet to gain the lead for themselves as they fell 2-3 following a 92-88 Game 5 defeat on Friday night, June 14, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.June Mar Fajardo was nothing short of stellar after turning in a game-high 38-point, 18-rebound double-double performance in the sorry loss.
It’s not unfamiliar territory for San Miguel to come back from a series deficit and win it all in the end. “Sana mangyari rin ‘yan . Pagsisipagan namin ‘yung next game kasi gusto namin makuha ‘yung championship. Hindi namin basta basta ibibigay ‘yun,” Fajardo said. Apart from Fajardo, the only red shirt in double figures was CJ Perez, who had a double-double showing of his own with 17 points on top of 10 rebounds, while the Meralco rotation evened out its contribution to sustain its series lead.
