Fired up from his Gilas Pilipinas duties, Cjay Perez caught fire early to fuel San Miguel's 110-95 whipping of TNT in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup at the Ynares Center in Antipolo Friday, Dec. 3.

Perez dropped 16 of his 33 points in the first 24 minutes of action before the rest of the Beermen did their part to secure their sixth straight win in eight matches.

 

SMB thus joined NLEX, Rain or Shine and Converge on top and in the quarterfinals.

Meanwhile, the Tropang 5G slipped to 5-3 for a share of the fifth spot with Magnolia.

The Beermen will try to sustain their hot streak and continue their hunt for a Top Four finish as they take on Blackwater next Saturday, Dec. 13 at the same venue.

Match begins at 7:30 p.m.

Like most sportswriters, Jan Ballesteros once dreamed of becoming a professional hooper. But he learned the hard way that it’s not for everyone.

He continues to be involved in the sport he loves, but this time as a member of the PBA Press Corps. Aside from primarily covering the PBA, he is also assigned to cover Gilas Pilipinas.
