San Miguel routs Magnolia to force Game 7
QUEZON CITY, Philippines – With their backs against the wall, the San Miguel Beermen put on a clinic against Magnolia and fashioned out a 98-86 victory at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday to send the PBA Philippine Cup Finals to a deciding Game Seven.
The Beermen dictated the pace from the get-go, finishing the opening canto with a double-digit advantage, 25-12.
Relying on hot-shooting from June Mar Fajardo and Arwind Santos, San Miguel kept its five-peat Philippine Cup title bid alive.
