MANILA, Philippines — Behind Charles Rhodes’ steady hand and Marcio Lassiter’s late-second heroics in San Miguel’s Game Three win on Wednesday night was Chris Ross’ third-quarter takeover.

Ross finished the game with 27 points, eight assists, eight rebounds, three swipes and a swat in the affair that saw the Beermen take a 2-1 series lead.

But according to the back-to-back Finals MVP, his showing was sort of an unconscious one.

“It’s just something about the playoffs for me, man,” Ross told the press. “When you’re in a must-win situation, the best comes out. So I knew today, being in a best-of-five, 1-1, it’s a big game for us.”

“I just wanted to go out there and give us a chance to win and be aggressive,” he added.

But his all-around game wasn’t one that met little resistance.  Ross went on to laud the Hotshots’ backcourt.
