    SAN Miguel and Magnolia look to stay in the hunt as the PBA Commissioner’s Cup saemifinals resume on Wednesday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

    The Beermen square off against Bay Area at 5:45 p.m. following their Game Four victory last Sunday as they hope to send the series into a deciding game after falling behind, 0-2.

    The Hotshots eye a bounce-back win as they face Barangay Ginebra at 3 p.m.

    The Beermen and the Hotshots had contrasting fates in their previous matches. San Miguel defeated Bay Area, 98-96, to finally get a win after slipping into a 0-2 hole. Magnolia fell to Barangay Ginebra, 103-80, after missing Paul Lee in all but two minutes of Game Four due to a non-COVID illness.

    San Miguel coach Leo Austria expressed confidence about their chances of overcoming their guest team rival.

    “This is an indication that Bay Area is beatable,” said Austria.

    Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone said Lee's status will definitely have an impact in Game Four, whether he will play or not.
