Recap
SAN Miguel Beer went on target like cupid, breaking TNT KaTropa’s heart on Valentine’s Day as it cruised to a 97-86 victory on Tuesday night to tie their PBA Philippine Cup semifinal series at two games apiece.
Chris Ross put on an outside shooting display reminiscent of Game Seven of the last all-Filipino conference against Alaska as the defensive lynchpin knocked down five triples on the way to a career-high 31 points.
June Mar Fajardo added 15 points and 15 boards for the Beermen, who atoned for rare back-to-back losses to reduce the best-of-seven series into a first-to-win-two affair.
Ross found the outside touch in the middle quarters where he scattered 26 of his output and drained all his shots from beyond the arc, including four in the third quarter where the Beermen established their biggest lead at 22.
