San Miguel Beer secured the top seed and a twice-to-beat advantage in the PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinals after defeating NorthPort 126-91.

They finished the elimination round with an 8-3 record, guaranteeing the No. 1 spot.

CJ Perez led the team with 24 points and stated that while they need redemption for last year's finals loss to Meralco, "it's a different ball game na" this time.

San Miguel Beer will face No. 8 seed Meralco in the quarterfinals, a rematch of the previous Philippine Cup Finals.

This victory marked the third time this tournament that San Miguel won by at least 35 points, a strong performance despite clinching the top seed not being their main priority.
