San Miguel struggled to get its bearings before gaining steam late for a 93-84 win over Ginebra in Game 2 of the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup semifinals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao Wednesday, Jan. 7.

The Beermen fought from an 11-point deficit to bounce back from a frustrating 99-90 loss in the opener, which halted their 10-game win run, and level the best-of-seven series.
