| Ginebra vs San Miguel QuarterFinals Game1 Part11Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:10:11 -0800 by yanpacsSAN MIGUEL WINS GAME 1 THRILLER OVER GINEBRABeermen mentor thanks wildcard stintCoach Siot Tanquingcen is convinced their wildcard journey has been a blessing.San Miguel Beer rode the momentum of its wildcard stint, seizing control early and holding off a Barangay Ginebra challenge at the finish in pulling off a 78-77 thriller of a win in the opener of their 2008-09 KFC PBA Philippine Cup best-of-three quarterfinal showdown at the Araneta Coliseum Wednesday."The wildcard really turned out to be a blessing for us. The experience we had there toughened us up for this game," said Tanquingcen after the victory sending the Beermen on the threshold of the semifinal round."We're not yet out of the woods but we now have a good chance to make the next round. We just have to stay focused. Ginebra is very much capable of coming back," Tanquingcen added.Tanquingcen and the San Miguel gang, who needed to hurdle the Coca-Cola Tigers and the Air21 Express in knockout settos to make the quarters, now have two cracks at nailing a berth in the semis.They take their first shot at it Friday at the Cuneta Astrodome.Lordy Tugade, Dondon Hontiveros, Olsen Racela, Bonbon Custodio and Danny Seigle took turns in carrying the cudgels for the Beermen as they overcame Billy Mamaril's 22-point explosion.Seigle scored on a short stab on a dish-off by Custodio for the go-ahead basket with time down to 47.9 seconds.The Kings, who picked up their game in the second half largely behind the efforts of Mamaril and Ronald Tubid, had a chance to salvage the game but Jayjay Helterbrand didn't get a decent shot in the face of Custodio's tough defense in the dying seconds.Helterbrand' s buzzer-beating attempt went awry, to the disappointment of the predominantly Ginebra crowd that watched the contest.The Kings came alive in the third quarter and threatened to steal the game in surging ahead, 75-74 and 77-76, in the last two minutes of play.The Beermen, however, kept their poise and confidence, going to Custodio and Seigle for the key plays to hold off the Kings.Ginebra played catch-up basketball most of the first half as the Kings struggled with a 27.5 percent field-goal shooting brought about by the Beermen's resolute defense.San Miguel outscored Ginebra, 21-16, in each of the first two quarters with Tugade leading the way for the Beermen with 15 points on two triples, three twinners and three charities.Hontiveros was held scoreless in the first half but broke his silence in the final half, scoring 12 straight points to close out the third quarter at 61-54 for the Beermen. (NC)The scores:San Miguel 78 - Tugade 15, Hontiveros 14, Racela 11, Custodio 10, Seigle 10, Pingris 6, Pena 6, Washington 4, Pennisi 2, Calaguio 0.Ginebra 77 - Mamaril 22, Tubid 14, Valenzuela 9, Helterbrand 8, Artadi 7, Salvacion 6, Menk 4, Pacana 3, Wilson 2, Crisano 2, Escalona 0, Cabatu 0.Quarterscores: 21-16, 42-32, 61-54, 78-77.
