PUREFOODS TAKES GAME ONE OVER ALASKA
Quezon City, Dec. 7, 1997 - Purefoods took Game 1 of the Philippine Basketball Association Governor's Cup title playoffs over defending champion Alaska last night at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Beefies took an easy 87-76 victory over the Milkmen to gain a psychological edge over the most dominant team of the league.
The Milkmen were not their usual selves during the game, missing and faltering like upstarts and not like the 3-time defending champions that they are.
In the first game, San Miguel won over Sta.. Lucia to bag third place.
