San Miguel Beermen is the 2014 Philippine Cup Champion

The San Miguel Beermen won the Game 7 of the Philippine Cup championship, but not without a scare from the Aces. The Beermen were shooting hot from the outside from the start of the game and were up by as much as 23 points in the 2nd quarter.

After the first half the Beermen outscored the Aces 48 to 27 and also out-rebounded them 26 to 14.

At the start of the third quarter, Alaska Aces intensified their defense by putting up a full court press. Abueva started the Aces’ run by 6 consecutive points. At the end of the 3rd the aces were only down by three after a 32 to 14 run.

Which seems to be another amazing comeback from the Aces, Game was tied at 68 in the 6 minute mark of the 4th, and the aces eventually took the lead with less than 6 minutes left of the game.

The Aces were up, 76-72 at the 2 minute and 47 second mark.
