Beermen stake unbeaten record against skidding Batang Pier

San Miguel is fully focused on taking their games one step at a time as they continue their journey in the tournament.

With seven games under their belt, coach Jorge Gallent and his team are now aiming to secure a spot in the quarterfinals against a determined opponent looking to revive their chances in the competition.

The upcoming match between San Miguel and NorthPort at 6:15 p.m. at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig will be crucial for the Beermen as they aim to secure a place in the PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinals. A victory would not only guarantee their spot in the next round but also strengthen their pursuit of a Top 2 finish and a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals.

The Beermen’s recent win against the Converge FiberXers showcased their resilience and determination, with Marcio Lassiter leading the charge with an impressive five three-pointers in the second half. However, the quick turnaround from their previous game poses a challenge for the defending champs as they prepare to face NorthPort on Sunday.

On the other hand, the Batang Pier, currently tied for sixth place with a 4-4 record, is eager to bounce back from three consecutive defeats and secure their spot in the quarterfinals.

The team, which was previously in the second spot alongside the NLEX Road Warriors, now finds themselves in a critical position and in need of a victory to stay in contention.

As the two teams collide in a high-stakes match, both San Miguel and NorthPort are determined to give their all and secure a crucial win to advance in the tournament.
