San Miguel got a piece of the lead in the PBA Philippine Cup Saturday night after routing Powerade, 119-94, in Panabo City, Davao del Norte.
The Beermen trailed by four after one quarter, but then began to flex their offensive muscle in the next period to pull away from the Tigers.
They did it behind a 19-9 run in an eight-minute span to overhaul a 25-21 deficit, and made it a 42-34 lead on an Alec Cabagnot jumper with 3:35 to go before the halftime break.
It was no contest from thereon.
The league's winningest franchise registered its third win in four outings, triggering a three-way logjam at the top along with the Alaska Aces and the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters.
The win was also the second straight for new coach Ato Agustin after rallying back the Beermen from the depths of a 21-point deficit to nip sister-team Barangay Ginebra last Sunday, 69-68.
Dondon Hontiveros topscored for San Miguel with 27 points, while ending up with 25 markers was Arwind Santos, whose dunk in the final 55 seconds of the game gave the Beermen their biggest lead at 29, 119-90.
Lordy Tugade, slowly getting back to his old form after being sidelined by a knee injury for most of the last season, and Mick Pennisi had 14 each.
Powerade fell to 2-2 in a tie with Barangay Ginebra, Rain or Shine and Air21 in the upper half of the standings.
Gary David and RenRen Ritualo were the only players in double figures for the Tigers with 21 and 19 points each.
From that eight-point deficit after the Beermen's second quarter rampage, the closest Powerade got was at 37-44 with 2:18 left in the period on a Gary David basket.
But the Beermen closed the first half with a 7-2 run behind Dondon Hontiveros' five straight baskets to sit on a 51-39 halftime edge. - JVP/KY, GMANews.TV

source: philstar.com
Alaska Milk and San Miguel Beer, the recent Fiesta Conference title protagonists, face separate rivals today, confident of another solid campaign with intact, formidable rosters in the 36th PBA season at the Araneta Coliseum today.
The Aces tangle with the Barako Bull Energy Boosters at 5 p.m. then the Beermen tackle the Air21 Express at 7:30 p.m.
It’s the third playdate of the new PBA season featuring the pro debut of high-profile rookies Rabeh Al-Hussaini, Nonoy Baclao, Rey Guevarra and Elmer Espiritu and the first game of Alaska in its 25th year of participation in the league.
The Aces are likely to come out strong in a bid to start the momentous season in grand fashion.
With a champion roster strengthened by the addition of Espiritu and Bonbon Custodio, the Aces are heavily favored against a team which has been league cellar dweller in the last two years.

Johnny Abarrientos might end up his illustrious PBA career with his original team Alaska Milk after all.
