PBA: Bench steps up big-time for San Miguel in convincing win
San Miguel Beer tied the PBA Philippine Cup semifinals series against Ginebra at 1-1 with a dominant 100-83 victory in Game 2.
Mo Tautuaa provided a crucial boost for the Beermen, stepping up in the absence of an injured June Mar Fajardo, who played limited minutes due to a calf injury.
Coach Leo Austria stated that the team's bench felt the urge to step in a big way with Fajardo's limited mobility.
Tautuaa delivered a double-double performance with 10 points and 10 rebounds in 17 minutes, seamlessly filling the starting center role.
Marcio Lassiter scored 16 points, including eight in the first quarter, and Kris Rosales added 13 points to contribute to the win.
