Chris Ross is making sure that he walks the talk in the PBA Philippine Cup Finals as San Miguel Beer tries to repeat over TNT and take the series lead.
“I was kinda begging them to play more during the season, so I gotta make plays,” Ross said after leaving an imprint in the Beermen’s bounce-back Game 2 victory that evened the series at 1-1 two nights earlier.
Game 3 is set on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. inside Smart Araneta Coliseum, with Ross expected to build on his important presence since the semifinal decider against crowd-favorite Barangay Ginebra.

From one hobbling TNT Tropang 5G star to another, Calvin Oftana is hoping Poy Erram all the best.
The Tropang 5G saw a scary sight—just another one out of a handful for them in their PBA Grand Slam chase—in Game 2 of the Philippine Cup Finals when Erram was practically carried off the floor.
Oftana, who’s been fighting through nagging ankle pain since the semifinals, explained that Erram’s state after the series got tied at 1-1 with a 98-92 San Miguel Beer victory on Wednesday night was a point of concern.
