San Miguel Beermen vs Ryukyu Golden Kings Full Game Highlights

San Miguel Beer eyes an outright semifinals berth in the East Asia League Terrific 12 as it battles no less than defending champion Ryukyu Golden Kings at the end of the group stage Thursday at the Tap Seac Multisports Pavilion here. The Beermen and the Golden Kings tangle in the main game at 7 p.m., needing no less than a victory to avoid any quirks of the quotient system and advance to the Final Four of the tournament featuring some of the top commercial ballclubs around Asia. The winningest franchise in PBA history seized the top spot in Group B after demolishing a gutsy Shenzhen Aviators team, 90-76, to the delight of the partisan Filipino crowd at the venue. Governors' Cup import Dezmine Wells exploded for 29 points while Terrence Romeo finished with 17 points, including back-to-back three-pointers late in the game that took the fight out of the Aviators. The Beermen pulled off the victory despite playing without injured starters June Mar Fajardo (ankle) and Marcio Lassiter (knee), along with Alex Cabagnot (flu). Big man Kelly Nabong will only arrive in time for the game against the Golden Kings after attending to a personal matter in the U.S. #SANMIGUELVSRYUKYU #SANMIGUEL #GREATNATS
