San Miguel displayed the poise and heart of a five-time defending champion as it rallied past Meralco, 89-82, to stretch its winning run in the PBA Philppine Cup.
The Beermen turned on the switch in the fourth quarter, draining a barrage of three-pointers to turn around a game where they trailed by as many as 13 points late in the third.
The reigning champion then finally surged forward when Von Pessumal hit a trey that broke a 71-all deadlock.
San Miguel has now won three straight in a row to improve to a 4-2 card in a tie for third place with Barangay Ginebra.
