Since that slide, Magnolia has won 12 of its next 18 games and the Hotshots’ defense has been unforgiving. In disposing of TNT in the quarterfinals, San Miguel limited the KaTropa to an average of 85.7 over three games. For San Miguel, retaining the Philippine Cup crown will extend its championship streak in the conference to five. After claiming the last title, San Miguel finished runner-up in the Commissioner’s Cup and a poor seventh in the Governors Cup. Failing to make the Final Four in the previous conference was a huge letdown for San Miguel and Austria wants redemption.
