San Miguel vs. Ginebra (Game 3 – June 29, 2025) // PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup Semifinals
The stakes get higher as the San Miguel Beermen look to seize a 2-1 series lead against the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in Game 3 of their PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup semifinal clash.
After a hard-fought loss in Game 1, where Ginebra erased an 18-point deficit to win 73-71, San Miguel bounced back emphatically in Game 2, cruising to a 100-83 victory despite limited minutes from star big man June Mar Fajardo, who’s still managing a right calf injury sustained in the series opener.
With Fajardo playing just over 17 minutes, the Beermen showcased their trademark depth. They dominated the boards, outrebounding Ginebra 49-38, and shot a blistering 48.8% from the field, far more efficient than the Gin Kings’ 42.5% clip.
Veteran sharpshooter Marcio Lassiter led the charge with 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting. Moala Tautuaa, starting in place of Fajardo, added a strong 10-point, 10-rebound double-double, while Kris Rosales, who didn’t play in Game 1, surprised with 11 points, four assists, and four rebounds.
San Miguel’s firepower didn’t stop there, with six players scoring in double figures, proving the Beermen’s offensive depth remains one of the most lethal in the league.
Meanwhile, Ginebra struggled to sustain the momentum from their Game 1 win. Only Stephen Holt reached double digits among the starters, scoring 17 points, while Scottie Thompson was held to nine points and six rebounds in a quiet outing. The Gin Kings failed to get into a consistent offensive rhythm and couldn’t match San Miguel’s intensity for most of the night.
Heading into Game 3, both squads know the importance of securing the series lead in this tight best-of-seven semifinal. For San Miguel, it’s about riding their depth and keeping control even with Fajardo at less than 100%. For Ginebra, it’s a chance to reset and respond with the same fight that stole them Game 1.
