Rain or Shine made sure that the game won’t be decided in the last second as it got back on San Miguel, 122-112, in their second-round meeting in the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup, Thursday night at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Unlike in the first encounter where they lost to a June Mar Fajardo buzzer-beater, the Elasto Painters waxed hot from deep early before finishing strong in the fourth quarter to regain the provisional lead in Group B with a 7-2 record.
Beau Belga bannered the balanced attack with 16 points, four rebounds, and five assists in the win that also snapped the franchise’s 11-game losing skid against the perennial contenders.
