That was with help from Fajardo and Perez, who broke out a massive slump to fire 16 including a four-point shot that gave San Miguel a 52-47 halftime lead.

Fajardo was 11-of-12 from the field after making his first 10 baskets.

TNT fell short of completing the sixth Grand Slam in league history as the wear and tear finally took its toll on the Tropang 5G.

Calvin Oftana finished with 19 points, Kelly Williams had 17 and Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser added 13 for TNT.

San Miguel pulled away led by a high of 20 in the second half as TNT was left to see its dream of a trifecta disappear.
