Photo from PBA Images.MANILA — The San Miguel Beermen posted their third straight victory in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup.</div>All thanks to their dominant third-quarter performance, San Miguel Beer pulled away from the Blackwater Bossing, 115-78, during their Sunday evening clash at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City,The Beermen improved to 6-2 following this victory, and doing wonders for them were CJ Perez and June Mar Fajardo who had 20 points and three assists, and 17 markers and 13 boards, respectively.“Every team that we face, kaya naming talunin, but they can also beat us,” SMB head coach Leo Austria said after the contest. “This game is very important, because our goal is to make the Top 4. That’s why I’m so happy with my team, because they understand what I want.”“The players are ready, and every player can be a starter in our team. Nagkakaroon din ng healthy competition, kaya maganda for us,” he added.Also standing out for SMB were JM Calma (16 points, six rebounds), Don Trollano (15 points, four rebounds), Jericho Cruz (13 points, eight assists), and Chris Ross (11 points, four rebounds, three assists).On the other hand, this was Blackwater’s fifth straight loss, and they fell to 1-7 in the team standings due to this development.Only a two-point game at the end of the first frame, the Beermen started pulling away in the second frame and led by 13 at halftime, 52-39.Unfortunately for the Bossing, their woes would get the better of them further in the third period as San Miguel charged on an 18-to-4 surge for a 70-43 advantage with still 7:44 in the same frame.Eventually, this was all SMB needed to seal the win, as they would even distance themselves by as huge as 37, 115-78, later in the fourth quarter all thanks to the bench mob of the Beermen.Three Bossings finished in double digits, as Christian David, RK Ilagan, and BJ Andrade finished with 15, 14, and 10, respectively.<div>The Scores:</div>San Miguel 115 – Perez 20, Fajardo 17, Calma 16, Trollano 15, Cruz 13, Ross 11, Tautuaa 9, Cahilig 8, Rosales 6, Brondial 0.Blackwater 78 – David 15, Ilagan 14, Andrade 10, Caperal 8, Mallilin 6, Tratter 5, Barefield 5, Chua 4, Mitchell 3, Guinto 2, Escoto 2, Ayonayon 2, Casio 0.Quarterscores: 24-22, 52-39, 86-57, 115-78.
