June Mar Fajardo played limited minutes, but San Miguel still managed to retaliate against Ginebra in Game 2 of the PBA Philippine Cup semifinals.
San Miguel made sure there wouldn't be a meltdown this time as it blasted Ginebra, 100-83, in Game 2 of the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup semifinals at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate Friday, June 27.
After squandering an 18-point advantage to surrender Game 1, 71-73, two days ago, the Beermen protected a 54-41 halftime lead this time — which ballooned to as many as 23 points — and went on to even the best-of-seven series.
Eight-time Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo, who incurred a calf injury in the opener, saw action to help SMB's cause.
