Unleashed in their familiar hunting ground, the Beermen wasted no time in reminding everyone why they sat atop the league’s food chain in the past years.

San Miguel Beer proved to be just a different beast in the playoffs, beating Converge on all fronts to cruise to a 114-96 victory and draw first blood in their best-of-three quarterfinals series in the 2022 PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the PhilSports Arena on Wednesday, Dec. 7.

SMB asserted its might in the first half and built a lead that ballooned to as many as 31 points before it leaned on the clutch performance from CJ Perez who steadied the ship for the Beermen against Converge’s huge fourth quarter storm. Scott also made sure to exact his revenge on Converge which gave him a rude welcome in his debut, posting 23 points and 12 rebounds while Fajardo was in his usual dominant self with a double-double output of 19 points and 16 rebounds.The FiberXers continued to threaten the Beermen in the final frame behind import Quincy Miller who poured in 41 points but their last gasp rally was ultimately foiled by Perez and the Beermen who were just too poised in the final five minutes of the game.
