As if he was making a statement, Jordan Adams erupted for 49 points to power San Miguel past luckless Phoenix, 139-127, for an emphatic return in the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup, Friday at the SMART Araneta Coliseum.
Reprising his role as their import after the one-game Sheldon Mac experiment left a lot to be desired despite winning against NLEX, the former NBA pro already had 42 after three, 19 of which he produced in the third quarter alone.
He capped off that fiery showing in the said chapter with a four-pointer from the top for a 103-88 lead as the Beermen went on to cruise to their third win in a row, improving to 5-2 to get ahead of Ginebra (4-2) and go no. 2 again in Group B.
Adams shot 16-of-27 from the floor, including a perfect 2-for-2 clip from beyond the arcs, and also collected 11 rebounds in the triumph.
