Going up against a well-rested, powerhouse San Miguel squad led by seven-time PBA MVP June Mar Fajardo, the Bolts got the job done on the defensive end in Game 1, becoming the first team to hold the Beermen to under 90 points this conference. With San Miguel already missing the services of its star guard Terrence Romeo due to a calf injury, Meralco also put the clamps on other key Beermen players such as Don Trollano and Jericho Cruz, who combined for just 14 points on a lowly 5-of-17 field goal clip.
Still, the Bolts know they still have a long series ahead against the mighty Beermen, who are gunning for back-to-back Philippine Cup titles and a sweep of the two championships in Season 48.
