PUREFOODS WIN TIES SAN MIGUEL 2-ALL
Quezon City, Dec. 1, 1997 - An import-versus-import strategy resulted in a Purefoods victory against San Miguel Beer, 94-84 last night at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Beefies win brings the best-of-five semifinal series to a tie with two games each, forcing a fifth deciding game.
Mike Jones tightly guarded Larry Robinson from the start of the fourth quarter until almost 3 minutes before end-game, while the rest of the Purefoods team went on a rampage. Pumaren, Ravena, Patrimonio and Jones combined for a fourth-quarter assault which gave the Beermen a double-digit lead.
The teams meet again tomorrow for their do-or-die fifth match.
