MANILA<\/strong> \u2014 Just when everyone thought Barangay Ginebra will be off to a smooth sailing to even up its PBA Philippine Cup semifinals series, the San Miguel Beermen showed them why it is the defending champs.<\/p>\n

San Miguel completed a rally from 15 points down to turn back Ginebra in overtime, 104-102, in Game 2 of their series at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Marcio Lassiter stunned the crowd when his putback with 3.2 seconds left put the Beermen up for good and eventually took a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven clash with the Barangay.<\/p>\n

Ginebra looked solid for most of the first half, eventually opening a 53-38 lead with less than three minutes left in the half.<\/p>\n

The team thought it would retain control of the game until SMB rallied later in the third quarter to cut the lead down to just three, setting up a wild finish ahead.<\/p>\n

The Barangay appeared to have re-established control of the game in the fourth\u00a0quarter, maintaining the lead for most of the period.<\/p>\n

But the Beermen ended the period on a 13-4 run capped by the equalizing putback from Arwind Santos with 11 seconds left in regulation to force overtime at 95-all.<\/p>\n

Joe Devance actually had a chance to win it for Ginebra in regulation but missed a potential game-winning layup just before the buzzer sounded.<\/p>\n

The team thought it already finished off SMB after taking a 102-98 lead with 1:02 to go, but it was all Lassiter from thereon, starting with a quick layup on the next play that cut the lead down to two, 102-100.<\/p>\n

His teammates then forced Scottie Thompson to a tough three-pointer that he muffed, while he forced a 102-all tie with two free throws with 15 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

The Beermen’s defense worked wonders again when they forced Devance to a five-second inbounding infraction, giving them the ball back.<\/p>\n

Lassiter opted for a pick-and-roll play with Junemar Fajardo which came close to fruition as the latter came close to the basket only that he missed the lay-in.<\/p>\n

But Lassiter saved their cause with a tip-in for the win.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lassiter had 25 points to backstop Fajardo, who finished with 33 for SMB.<\/p>\n

Fajardo actually had a double-double as he grabbed 19 rebounds as well even as Santos had his own double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Ginebra’s loss spoiled Prince Caperal’s breakout game.<\/p>\n

Caperal finished with a career-high 26 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and one block.<\/p>\n

Japeth Aguilar led the team with 28 markers, seven boards, five dimes, two swats, and one steal.<\/p>\n
