                    [Title] => Dondon, Tubid in race to top
                    [Summary] => 




San Miguel Beer hotshot Dondon Hontiveros and Barangay Ginebra backcourt defender Ronald Tubid are two opposing forces in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup finals.


They’re bitter rivals on the court, often matched up against each other. Hontiveros is known for his offense and Tubid, his defense. Their roles are different but they’ve got one thing in common – the drive to make it all the way to the top.

A nagging thought that their lineup could be overhauled at the end of the season served as the biggest factor that motivated the San Miguel Beermen to end a four-year title-drought in the PBA.

San Miguel ace center Danny Ildefonso admitted the core of the team isn’t getting any younger but their Sunday feat has given the coaching staff no reason to think of a massive facelift for next campaign.

San Miguel shrugged off a slow start and outplayed Talk n Text at crunchtime, pulling off a gripping 91-87 victory to wrap up the Gran Matador PBA Fiesta Cup crown.

The Beermen took some time to get their game going but when they finally did, there was no stopping the team in clinching the game and the series to the frenzied celebration of the squad, their fans and supporters at the Cuneta Astrodome.

"Destiny means the title is there for you and you could get complacent, thinking no matter what, that’s your fate," said Banal yesterday. "So I’d rather have desire because that’s what we need to beat San Miguel in a series."

Bentaheng 3-0 ang target ngayon ng Beermen sa pakikipagharap sa Phone Pals sa alas-7:30 ng gabing sagupaan sa pagpapatuloy ng championship series sa Ara-neta Coliseum.

Malaking inspirasyon sa San Miguel ang kanilang nakaraang 81-79 come-from-behind panalo sa Game-Two kung saan bumangon mula sa 20-point deficit ang Beermen.

The Beermen simply dismissed Taulava’s comeback, sustaining the highly competitive games they displayed in ousting the Red Bull Barakos in their semifinals duel.

Obviously playing with physical and mental toughness, San Miguel dominated Talk n Text and made a statement early in the long championship grind.
