San Miguel survives Star, marches on to the finals
San Miguel Beer withstood a furious rally by Star in the fourth quarter to hack out a 109-102 victory on Friday and nab the first finals berth in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
Led by Alex Cabagnot and Chris Ross, the Beermen punctuated their best-of-5 semifinal series in Game 4, 3-1.
Cabagnot had 26 points, while Ross added 24 and 10 assists. June Mar Fajardo and Charles Rhodes chipped in 22 and 21 points, respectively, for the Beermen.
“We're back in the finals and we're so happy with these hard-working players because pinakita nila ang kanilang championship caliber,” said San Miguel coach Leo Austria.
Star was able to claw back from 14 points down and came within just 3 points behind Ricardo Ratliffe.
But the Hotshots' locals weren’t able to step up during crunch time, allowing the Beermen to secure a 5th finals appearance in 8 conferences.
