(Eagle News) — The San Miguel Beermen took Game 3 of the PBA Philippine Cup on Wednesday night, edging the Barangay Ginebra Kings for the second time around in the final series.
Chris Ross led the offensive with 24 points, much to the dismay of Coach Tim Cone and his never-say-die roster. The seven-feet-tall JuneMar Fajardo dominated the paint with 17 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks, enabling the Beermen to pull away in the fourth quarter.
The Gin Kings—who had a hot start—struggled but failed to regain their foothold.
The final score is 99-88.
The two teams are set to face off in Game 4 of the series at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Friday.
