The San Miguel Beermen punched their ticket to the PBA Philippine Cup Finals with a convincing 101-88 win over Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in Game 6 on Friday, January 16.

The Beermen imposed their will early and never looked back, turning back every Ginebra rally to close the series and set up a championship rematch against TNT Tropang Giga 5G.

Perez delivers career night

CJ Perez authored the game of his life, erupting for a career-high 41 points on a blistering 17-of-23 shooting from the field. The high-flying guard attacked from all angles, repeatedly breaking Ginebra’s defense and igniting San Miguel’s offense.

Despite being saddled by foul trouble, Perez’s scoring barrage proved decisive to give the Beermen the early advantage. Ginebra attempted to come back in the third quarter but lost steam in the fourth period.

Beermen depth seals the deal

Don Trollano provided steady support with 23 points and eight rebounds, giving San Miguel a reliable secondary option whenever Ginebra attempted to claw back. The Beermen’s balanced execution and defensive focus down the stretch kept the Kings at bay.

With the win, San Miguel now turns its attention to TNT Tropang Giga 5G, aiming to add another Philippine Cup crown to its storied franchise.
