Box Scores. 

The San Miguel Beermen denied the lowly Blackwater Elite a victorious end to their season as the defending champions held off a gutsy effort by the young franchise, 107-101, to notch a victory heading into the quarterfinals of the PBA Governors’ Cup Sunday at Alonte Sports Arena.

Balik-import Elijah Millsap scored 25 points and 14 rebounds in his PBA return although he got fouled out in the fourth quarter to pace the Beermen (8-3) who, currently at third place, could still end up at No.2 should TNT KaTropa win over Barangay Ginebra in the main game.


Arwind Santos tallied 19 points, June Mar Fajardo piled up 18 markers and Alex Cabagnot chipped in 17. Ronald Tubid also made 15 points on five triples to complete San Miguel’s balanced offensive attack.

Art Dela Cruz scored 23 points and 11 boards for the Elite (1-10) who ended their season with a nine-game losing skid.

Elijah Millsap (SMB) - 25pts, 14rebs, 4asts, 1stl, 3 triples.
