ANTIPOLO — Rain or Shine made great use of its win-once incentive by giving the more experienced San Miguel the boot through a 113-104 victory to reach the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup semifinals, Friday at the Ynares Center here.
Big shots from deep proved to be the difference, with Andrei Caracut nailing a four and Caelan Tiongson hitting a triple in consecutive fashion to highlight a 9-0 run toward a 108-97 lead with 2:35 left, effectively putting the game away
“Alam namin na kapag umabot pa sa Sunday ‘to, malamang sa malamang hindi na namin tatalunin San Miguel,” offered head coach Yeng Guiao.
Caracut starred with 29 points while Tiongson fired 23 points as the tandem combined for 13 of the team’s 19 threes that indeed drowned their foes.
