SMART CLARK GIGA CITY — Chris Ross took charge in over-time as San Miguel outlasted Blackwater 90-88 in the historic morning game of the PBA Philippine Cup yesterday at the Angeles University Foundation Sports Arena here.
Veteran guard Ross drained five of the Beermen’s six points in the extra period as they picked up their fourth straight victory in seven games in the opener of the first-ever quadruple-header in league history.
Defending champion San Miguel improved to 5-2 and stayed in the upper half of the standings with the race to the playoffs starting to heat up after a four-day postponement.
“This game is the key for us. Kahit papaano ‘yung isang paa namin nasa quarterfinals na,” said SMB head coach Leo Austria.
Fil-Tongan big man Mo Tautuaa again led the Beermen with a double-double of 26 points and 14 rebounds in 45 minutes of play while Marcio Lassiter chipped in 12.
