PBA: Jordan Adams scores 50 to power SMB past import-less Blackwater

Jordan Adams was unstoppable the entire game as the American import powered San Miguel to a 128-108 blowout of undermanned Blackwater in the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup on Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Adams poured in 50 points highlighted by an impressive 6-of-10 shooting clip from the three-point area. He also added 11 rebounds, four assists, and three steals to help the Beermen keep their unbeaten record at 2-0 in Group B.

He buried four triples in the second half as San Miguel turned a 63-56 halftime deficit into a lead as big as 22 in the fourth quarter on the way to the 20-point victory.

The Bossing, who were without an import following the exit of Ricky Ledo, fell to 0-3.

The Beermen had to overcome a slow start, trailing for the most part of the first half with Troy Rosario and rookie Sedrick Barefield leading the way for Blackwater with 14 and 12 apiece after the first two quarters.

But San Miguel returned to its old ways in the succeeding periods, regaining a 94-83 cushion at the end of the third before opening the payoff period with an 11-2 rampage for a 105-85 spread thanks to a better shooting from downtown.

Even reigning eight-time MVP June Mar Fajardo got his shooting going with a triple of his own to send San Miguel to a 113-92 lead.

Adams then knocked down another basket from the rainbow country while a putback bucket from him had San Miguel enjoying a 122-102 advantage on the way to the win.
