June Mar Fajardo and CJ Perez came up huge in the endgame to power San Miguel to a 111-107 tight win against Phoenix as both teams made their debut in the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup on Wednesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Fajardo, just days after he was crowned with his 8th MVP plum, posted 37 points and 24 rebounds while Perez buried a cold-blooded four-point shot in the final minute as the Beermen went 1-0 in Group B. The Fuel Masters, meanwhile, fell to 0-1 to open their campaign.
Perez responded big, unleashing a stepback four-pointer over the defense of Javee Mocon to make it a 110-105 affair for the Beermen, who led by as much as 13 points before the Fuel Masters staged a furious fourth quarter. Perkins once again trooped to the line and made two charities, 107-110. Phoenix had the chance to take the lead, but Ricci Rivero, who had nine of his overall output in the fourth, missed a potential game-winning four-point bucket.Fajardo sealed the gritty victory with a split.
