San Miguel Beer put on a masterclass on Wednesday, November 12, at Ynares Center-Montalban, overwhelming Titan Ultra 158-117 in the most lopsided game of the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup.

The Beermen, now on a five-game winning streak following a slow 0-2 start, surged into a tie for second place with NLEX and Rain or Shine, trailing only TNT Tropang 5G by half a game.

Perez, Cruz, and Fajardo dominate

CJ Perez led San Miguel with 26 points, hitting three of four four-point attempts and two treys, while Jericho Cruz contributed 24 points on near-perfect shooting and flawless free throws. June Mar Fajardo recorded a triple-double with 12 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in just 26 minutes, efficiently anchoring the Beermen’s attack.

Bench players added firepower as Don Trollano scored 20 points, with Jeron Teng (15), Andreas Cahilig (11), Moala Tautuaa (10), and Kris Rosales (10) all hitting double figures. Titan Ultra struggled to respond, falling to 2-5 on the season.

Beermen run rampant from start to finish

San Miguel set the tone early with a 12-0 run, quickly establishing a 41-point halftime lead, 79-38. The reserves continued the dominance in the second half, outscoring Titan 43-14, leaving the Giant Risers overwhelmed. The Beermen finished at 53.1 percent shooting, compared to Titan’s 38.7 percent, demonstrating their relentless offensive efficiency.

Titan Ultra’s top performers were Von Pessumal and Joshua Munzon, who posted 21 and 20 points, respectively, but their efforts were not enough to slow down the Beermen’s momentum.

San Miguel Beer looks to maintain their streak and strengthen their position in the standings as the Philippine Cup continues, while Titan Ultra searches for answers in upcoming matchups.
