Defense-minded Realtors no match for rampaging Beermen
04 Dec 2009Not even the team touted as one of the top defensive powers in the KFC-PBA Philippine Cup was good enough to stop the San Miguel juggernaut on its track.The Beermen poured it all in a big third quarter surge for a 110-94 rout of the Sta. Lucia Realtors that kept the team's winning streak going Friday night at the Araneta Coliseum.Holding on to a slim 47-46 halftime edge, the Beermen came out like a house on fire to start the second half, outscoring the stunned Realtors, 33-19, in a 12-minute span.That was enough for the league's hottest team to open the game wide-open in the fourth and coast to its ninth straight win after losing its first two matches in the All-Filipino tournament.Keeping its spot in second place, San Miguel now primes itself up for an expected explosive showdown against league-leader Alaska (9-1) next week."That would be a big test for us," said Dondon Hontiveros, who paced San Miguel with 21 points (9-of-13), of the Beermen's coming match up with the Aces.Mike Cortez added 14 points and had a big part in that searing third period San Miguel breakaway. Lordy Tugade and Danny Seigle each had 13 for the Beermen, who also got 12 and 11, respectively from Arwind Santos and Dorian Pena.The Beermen led by as many as 21 points, 108-87.Sta. Lucia fell to an even 5-5 card despite getting 20 points from Bitoy Omolon. - GMANews.TVScores:San Miguel 110 - Hontiveros 21, Cortez 14, Tugade 13, Seigle 13, Santos 12, Pena 11, Villanueva 9, Miranda 7, Pennisi 6, Eman 2, Racela 2, Holper 0.Sta.
