AFTER outplaying powerhouse San Miguel Beer, Meralco battles next week two more San Miguel Corp. teams—Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Magnolia—in the Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner’s Cup.
Meralco put up an impressive defense in taking down defending champion San Miguel Beer, 100-93, over the weekend in Candon in Ilocos Sur for the Bolts’ third straight win that tied them with NorthPort, Converge and Hong Kong Eastern at Nos. 1 to 3 with a 7-3 record.
But for Trillo, the task at hand is to be in the top two entering the quarterfinals for a twice-to-beat advantaghe. The top two teams in the quarterfinals battle the No. 7 and 8 squads, while Nos. 3 and No. 6 and Nos. 4 and No. 5 play in best-of-three quarterfinals series in the playoffs. “We have a one-week rest, but we’ll be coming back with two straight games against Ginebra and Magnolia,” Trillo said. “We’re not done yet, so we are hoping to sustain our great defense and hustle not just to the end the eliminations but also in the playoffs.”
