In spite of the fact that the Gin Kings leveled the series out, the triumph didn't come simple as the Beermen battled again from 26 point deficit in the first half and kicked the ouster of Marcio Lassiter and June Mar Fajardo to at present constrain extension.
“We played absolutely perfect basketball in the first half. But San Miguel is such a great team, and we have to be at our very, very, very best of our game to beat this team. And that’s it, that’s really our challenge,” he said.
Still, as fearful as Cone is with the forte of San Miguel, he’s glad that Ginebra will be on a leveled playing field when they duel anew in Game 3 on Wednesday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“This is best case scenario, the series is tied 1-1. It’s gonna be a tough, tough, tough turnaround though, going into the game on Wednesday. We’re gonna battle, and that’s what we do, battle,” he said.
