They would extend the lead to as high as 23 points, 70-47, late in the third quarter. Meralco, however, threatened another comeback, drawing to within nine, 87-96, with 53.9 seconds left.

Fajardo finished with 29 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, and one block for the Beermen, whose finals series with the Tropang Giga will begin on Sunday ni
