MANILA, Philippines — Fresh off their blowout win in Game 2, the San Miguel Beermen, this time needed to hold off the Sports Rev Thailand Slammers to pick up a 70-62 road win Tuesday night for a pivotal 2-1 edge in their Asean Basketball League (ABL) best-of-five semifinals duel.

The Beermen, who rebounded from their stunning 60-62 setback in Game 1 at home, drew a throwback performance from 40-year-old Asi Taulava.

Taulava finished with 13 points and six rebounds to back up import Brian Williams, who had 14 points and seven rebounds.
