THE San Miguel Beermen ended their
winless streak, torching GlobalPort Batang
Pier, 120-109, on Friday at the SMART-
Aranta Coliseum.
“It’s a good win for us considering we’re
pressured to win kasi kami na lang team
na walang panalo,” said SMB head coach
Leo Austria after the game.
“I’m thankful for all our players. Our
import with 52 then Marcio (Lassiter)
nagpaulan ng threes.”
Tyler Wilkerson posted the league
season-high 52 points along with 11
rebounds. Marcio Lassiter, meanwhile,
had 28 points with eight triples.
“Marami kaming players na nasa
sidelines,” Austria added.
“I’m happy to see June Mar getting back
to his usual game.”
Fajardo seems to be recovering
quite well after being sidelined late last

conference. The big man had 15 points
and five rebounds, giving his team the
much-needed boost with Arwind Santos
sidelined by an injury.
“Arwind, supposed to be, he’ll not
play in the first game,” Austria disclosed.
“Ngayon di sya makagalaw ng maayos,
tightened muscles sa legs. Lower body
nya walang energy e; mina-manage ng
mga PT (physical therapists) namin yung
namumuong mga muscles baka ma-pulled
muscle pa e.”
With his absence, Santos ended his 305-
game playing streak — the third longest in
PBA history.
Calvin Warner led GlobalPort with 27
points and 17 boards, while the 1-2 punch
if Terrence Romeo and Stanley Pringle
hit 22 and 19 points, respectively. n Renee
