The San Miguel Beermen snapped their two-game losing streak in the 2019 Honda PBA Philippine Cup with their 93-79 domination over Blackwater Elite last Wednesday night at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

June Mar Fajardo top-scored with a double-double, putting up 20 points and 21 rebounds for San Miguel; while Alex Cabagnot and Terrence Romeo added 19 and 17 markers, respectively.

Both teams exchanged leads in the first period before the Elite took a 27-22 lead. However, the Beermen immediately countered with a run from Cabagnot, Romeo, and Chris Ross to seize a 44-41 halftime lead.

The score was tied at 50-50 early in the third when the Beermen came up with a strong run on inside baskets from Fajardo and outside hits from Cabagnot and Romeo for a 74-64 edge.

The four-time defending champions pulled away for good in the final quarter with shots from Cabagnot and Kelly Nabong for its largest lead of 87-66./ASC, WDJ
