MANILA, Philippines—San Miguel Beer guard Terrence Romeo has been a veteran of the league for quite some time now and he showed why on Friday in Game 2 of the PBA Governors’ Cup semifinals against Ginebra.

When the Beermen needed him most, Romeo answered the call, scoring much of his points in the fourth quarter and overtime to push the series with the Gin Kings back to square one with one game a piece.
