The remaining San Miguel crew did more than enough to overcome the absence of three players in sickbay in their PBA Philippine Cup joust with Blackwater.
San Miguel stepped on the gas pedal in the second period to blast Blackwater, 115-78, for their third straight win the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup at the Philsports Arena in Pasig Sunday, May 25.
The Beermen, missing Marcio Lassiter, Juami Tiongson and Jeron Teng due to sore eyes, needed some time to warm up.
Once they found their groove, they were unstoppable against a beleaguered Bossing side as they roared to the dominant win.

After a slow start in the opening period, SMB went on a 28-17 tear to end the first half with a 52-39 lead they preserved until the final buzzer.
The Beermen hiked their mark to 6-2 while keeping the Bossing miserable with a 1-7 mark.
SMB aims to sustain its charge when it tackles Rain or Shine in an out-of-town game at Cagayan de Oro on June 7.
