PBA GAME INFO | SAN MIGUEL VS ALASKA | JUNE 20 2015
Date: SATURDAY JUNE 20, 2015
Time: 5:00 p.m. Philippine Time
Venue: PANABO CITY DAVAO
Win or lose, San Miguel is assured of a match-up against a team with a twice-to-win task in the Final Eight.
The Aces, on the other hand, need one more win in their last two games to formally secure the same privilege in the quarters.
The Panabo tiff is a topnotch match between the two teams that slugged it out in a stretch-out best-of-seven showdown for the Philippine Cup championship.
San Miguel outfought Alaska in their do-or-die match in the all-Filipino Finals, then the Aces scored some measure of revenge in their Commissioner’s Cup tussle, 107-100.
The two teams have been on the same course, bombing out of contention early in the second conference and now on strong comeback runs in the season-ending tourney.
The Beermen’s slump continued up to their first two games in the Governors’ Cup before finally getting back into the groove.
Coach Leo Austria and his chargers have been unbeaten for nearly six weeks now or after a 0-2 start in the tourney with losses to Kia (78-83) and Meralco (95-106 in overtime).
