MANILA, Philippines – Tie the series or force a winning streak?
The San Miguel Beermen are trying to even the series while the Barangay Ginebra is in full alert to win two in a row in the 2018 PBA Commissioner Cup finals Game 2 on Sunday, July 29, 2018, 6:30 pm at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Despite the disappointing effort in the opener of the best-of-seven series Friday night, Renaldo Balkman remains confident of San Miguel's chances in the PBA Finals.

"It's a long finals," Balkman said after finishing with 27 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in his first-ever PBA Finals appearance.
San Miguel hopes to make quick adjustments after allowing Ginebra to race to a big lead behind hot-shooting import Justin Brownlee and fell, 127-99. Brownlee finished with 42 points on 17-of-19 shooting.
Meanwhile, Ginebra Kings coach Tim Cone said they are ready for for SMB's strong fightback.
"It's about mindset. We know they will make adjustments. We should not panic. But we're not coming out doing the same thing either. We'll try to continue keeping them off balance," Cone told pba.ph.
Tip off is at 6:30 pm.
