The San Miguel Beermen got away with a 158-117 triumph over the Titan Ultra Giant Risers to keep its winning run going in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup at the Ynares Center Montalban.

One of the two hottest teams in the all-Filipino tourney right now, the Beermen extended their streak, going perfect in a five-game stretch after losing their first two outings.

CJ Perez led a massive first half with 24 points anchored on a perfect 3-of-3 clip in the second arc as the Beermen installed a 41-point 79-38 lead entering the break.

There was no recovery from there for the Giant Risers, absorbing their fifth loss in the competition.

“Overall, it’s a team effort,” underscored coach Leo Austria during the postgame press conference.

Perez finished with 26 points, two rebounds, two assists, and two steals to lead the Beermen, while nine-time MVP June Mar Fajardo stuffed the stat sheet with his first career triple-double of 12 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

Two more Beermen breached the 20-point mark as Jericho Cruz chipped in 24 points on a very efficient 8-of-9 clip, while recent PBA Press Corps Player of the Week awardee Don Trollano had 20 points and three rebounds.

Jeron Teng, in one of his better games in a San Miguel uniform, had 15 points and six rebounds.

Meanwhile, Von Pessumal top-scored for the Giant Risers with 21 points, while Joshua Munzon had 20 points in a losing effort. (ABS-CBN News)
