Marcio Lassiter scored 25 points to give San Miguel Beermen a series-tying win against Barangay Ginebra, 101-72, and force a deciding Game 5 in the ongoing 2016 PBA Governors' Cup semifinals.
'Super Marcio' led the pounding in the pivotal second quarter where he engineered 11-0 run, while his team held the Gin Kings scoreless in the first 7 minutes of the period. Lassiter scored 14 of his 25 in that quarter.
