Shooting 0-of-11 from downtown in Games 1 and 2, Lassiter finally drilled his […]

June Mar Fajardo has been the PBA’s consistent dominant force, but the gentle giant of San Miguel doesn’t mind playing a lesser role especially with his team chalking up wins.

Lassiter said he had no intention of hurting Cruz and the foul was […]
San Miguel Beer is all the more cautious following its lopsided triumph in the series opener Friday night.
A step in the right direction: That’s what San Miguel has been doing all season long.
For coach Alex Compton, Game 1 of the 2015 PBA Governors’ Cup boils down to one reality. “I got outcoached,” he said after Alaska’s 30-point defeat at the hands of San Miguel, 108-78. “Looking at the stat sheet, unfortunately, there’s no stat for being outcoached.

Even on the heels of another great shooting night, Wendell McKines emerged from the dugout with a different aura. After all, Rain or Shine was on the brink of elimination from the 2015 PBA Governors’ Cup after a sorry 114-108 defeat to San Miguel Monday night. READ: No collapse as San Miguel takes 2-1 lead […]
