San Miguel Beer center June Mar Fajardo refused to make any predictions heading into the Beermen’s title series against the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings.
But the reigning four-time PBA MVP is sure of one thing: Game 5 will be necessary.
“For sure, walang sweep na mangyayari kasi malakas yung Ginebra,” Fajardo said on Tuesday during the pre-finals press conference.
(For sure, there won’t be any sweep happening because Ginebra is a strong team.)

“Pareho kaming ayaw magpa-sweep. Magandang series ito, mahabang series siguro ito.”
(Both teams don’t want to get swept. This will be a good and probably long series.)

The Beermen needed only five games to beat the Gin Kings in their previous meeting in the championship round back in the 2017 Philippine Cup.
