PBA Media Bureau</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA, Philippines -- San Miguel veteran Arwind Santos knew he had to play much better after a paltry outing against Blackwater Elite in their game last Wednesday.Santos managed just four points in that contest, shooting 2-of-9 from the field while grabbing four rebounds. Fortunately for the Beermen, despite Santos&#x27; poor performance they still cruised to a 93-79 triumph.But the former PBA Most Valuable Player would not allow himself to have two bad games in a row.Against an always dangerous Magnolia team on Sunday night, Santos exploded for 29 points, making 11 of his 17 shots -- including 7 of 11 three-pointers. He had 11 points in the third quarter alone, helping San Miguel pull away once more after the Hotshots had come to within six points.&quot;Bumawi lang ako,&quot; said Santos after the Beermen completed a 113-92 demolition of the Hotshots.&quot;Talagang nag-double effort ako, dahil nanalo nga kami noong last game namin, pero hindi ako satisfied sa performance ko noon,&quot; he admitted.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/pba/news/2019/02/10/pba-dominant-beermen-demolish-hotshots-finals-rematch-53237">READ: Dominant Beermen demolish Hotshots in finals rematch</a></li></ul>According to Santos, he spent extra time shooting after that loss -- work that translated on Sunday as he waxed hot from beyond the arc.With their triumph over the Hotshots, the Beermen have now won back-to-back games and improved to 4-3 in the All-Filipino Cup. Santos believes that returning to their roots is what has led to the successful stretch for their team. &quot;Kung susumahin mo &#x27;yung team namin ngayon, mararamdaman mo na maganda, dahil &#x27;yung dating first 5, bumabalik,&quot; he said, referring to San Miguel&#x27;s tried-and-tested starting line-up of Santos, June Mar Fajardo, Marcio Lassiter, Chris Ross, and Alex Cabagnot.&quot;Nagagawa namin ulit &#x27;yung mga dati naming nagagawa. &#x27;Yun ang nakikita ko,&quot; said Santos. &quot;Naibalik namin &#x27;yung dating plays. Maganda &#x27;yung nilalaro namin.&quot;The SMB starters combined for 77 points on Sunday, while Terrence Romeo shored up their bench with a 23-point performance.Santos is confident that the Beermen can improve even further -- just as soon as they become fully healthy as a team. Like several other PBA squads, San Miguel is also dealing with a spate of the flu -- and nearly half of the team was affected, according to Chris Ross.&quot;Nag-uusap kami ng mga teammates ko. Sila Marcio, galing sa sakit, si June Mar din,&quot; said Santos. &quot;Sobrang viral nga &#x27;yun eh. In fact, &#x27;yung anak ko ding dalawa, may sakit din. Hindi pa kami 100%.&quot;&quot;Buti na lang, thankful kami na nanalo kami,&quot; he said.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website.</a>
