CJ Perez’s performance for San Miguel Beer in Game 1 of its PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinal series with Barangay Ginebra was evident that the Beermen are not just a team that would rely on the twin front-line combo of import Bennie Boatwright and June Mar Fajardo to win.
“Well CJ is CJ,” said Beermen coach Jorge Gallent, who saw Perez produce a conference-high 26 points along with key plays apart from scoring in the 92-90 win that put them up one game in the best-of-five series.
“When we needed the rebound, when we needed the steal and when we needed offense, he was there. I’m very happy that he played very well in the dying minutes,” added Gallent as San Miguel tries to repeat over Ginebra in Friday’s Game 2 at Mall of Asia Arena.
