San Miguel ended up running away with the victory, 134-109, to equalize.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/pba/news/2018/07/29/pba-san-miguel-returns-favor-destroys-ginebra-game-2-45071">READ: San Miguel returns favor, destroys Ginebra in Game 2 to tie finals</a></li></ul>&quot;In this finals, there&#x27;s a word called desire,&quot; said Jaworski, who was part of the 15,000-strong crowd at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday. &quot;If you don&#x27;t have that, you won&#x27;t make it as champions.&quot;&quot;That&#x27;s it – no other word. If you have desire, go for it, right?&quot; he added.Jaworski did not address the Gin Kings at halftime, as he did in previous finals series. Instead, he questioned the Gin Kings&#x27; lack of focus in the game, and hinted that he saw a certain selfish mindset in some players.&quot;I&#x27;m sure that they prepared, but preparations will fall apart if you or a couple of guys are out of focus,&quot; said Jaworski. &quot;That&#x27;s why I speak of the word mental toughness, and we have to be focused on what you are supposed to do, in the best possible way.&quot;&quot;Saka &#x27;yung mental toughness nila should come into play,&quot; he also said. &quot;But if you only think of yourself, then you ruin the team&#x27;s objective.&quot;Asked what message he would give to the Gin Kings, Jaworski was once again blunt.&quot;Obviously, I want them to win,&quot; said the Philippine basketball icon. &quot;But as I said, if you want it, you have to be strong.&quot;Game 3 of the series is on Wednesday, still at the Big Dome.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
