San Miguel Beer shrugged of a pesky Barangay Ginebra team, 89-86, at the Araneta Coliseum and advanced to the finals to meet the Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters for the 2011 PBA Philippine Cup crown.
Alex Cabagnot returned from sick bay, and made a key three pointer with 49 seconds left in the game to help the Beermen's cause.
Erick Menk managed to tie the game once more afterwards when he converted on a post move and got fouled by Danny Ildefonso.
In the next play, Jay Washington made a reverse layup after an Ildefonso air ball to give SMB another two point cushion.
Ginebra sued for time and then went to Menk once again. The play was broken up by Paul Artadi who managed to poke the ball lose off a driving Eric Menk.
Santos got the ball and was fouled thereafter. He managed to split his charities, giving San Miguel an 88-85 lead.
On the next Ginebra offensive, Caguioa was fouled by Artadi at midcourt. Caguioa made the first free throw and intentionally missed the second for a possible Ginebra rebound.
Santos collared the rebound and was fouled once more with less than 4 seconds left. Santos again split his charities but this proved to be enough to send the Beermen to another PBA All-Filipino finals appearance

Game one of the PBA Philippine Cup finals will be played on January 22, 2011 and will be held at Negros Occidental.
