Gallent's adjustments

Game Two of the San Miguel Beer-Barangay Ginebra semifinal series in the PBA Governors' Cup turned out to be a humdinger that kept fans at the edge of their Smart Araneta Coliseum seats until the last few seconds of overtime last Friday night. San Miguel pulled off a 131-125 win. If that was an indication of things to come, expect a war of attrition in the best-of-seven duel that's now tied at a win apiece.

Ginebra clobbered San Miguel, 122-105, to draw first blood last Wednesday. A barrage of four-point and three-point shots buried the Beermen under an avalanche of baskets. Justin Brownlee hit five-of-six from four and three-of-five from three to lead the rampage where in the third quarter, he scored 20 points by himself and San Miguel had the same total. Brownlee played only two minutes in the fourth period as Ginebra coach Tim Cone went all-local to finish off the Beermen. Ginebra outscored San Miguel from the perimeter, 62-44, had more assists, 32-26 and ran the Beermen to the ground with an 11-0 edge in fastbreak points.
