(Eagle News) — Barangay Ginebra brought home the bacon on Sunday, after they beat sister team San Miguel Beer in a nerve-wracking Game 2 at the Quezon Convention Center in Lucena.

The never-say-die team averted disaster when their very own Joe Devance made a bucket right before the final buzzer, taking the game to overtime.

SMB had to rely on one talent less, as Marcio Lassiter was ejected from the game for his two technical fouls–one in the first quarter, and the other in the third.

The final score was 124-118.
