SMB aims to close out PBA Philippine Cup in Game 6

The San Miguel Beermen are determined to clinch the PBA Philippine Cup championship in Game 6 after losing Game 5 to the TNT Tropang 5G, which extended the series to a deciding Game 6.

Despite the 86-78 loss, the Beermen still hold a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven finals series.

Guard Chris Ross acknowledged TNT's strength and fight in Game 5, while also pointing out San Miguel's uncharacteristic low scoring and poor shooting.

June Mar Fajardo attributed their Game 5 struggles to a slow start and numerous lapses, stating the team remains positive due to their series lead.

Jericho Cruz felt TNT played with more hunger and effort, suggesting San Miguel lacked the necessary intensity.

Fajardo emphasized that TNT, a back-to-back champion team, should not be underestimated, requiring San Miguel to give 100% in the next game.

San Miguel's focus is on returning to their usual playing style to secure the championship in Game 6 on Friday.
