MANILA -- San Miguel Beer stayed hot right behind the pacesetting Alaska Milk team, walloping Coca-Cola, 107-84, on the road in Cebu Sunday night for a seventh straight win in the KFC PBA Philippine Cup.

Hometown boy Dondon Hontiveros started the game with a jumper making him the 60th PBA player to reach the 5,000-point plateau.

And there was no stopping Hontiveros and his teammates as they dominated the Tigers in the Phoenix Fuel road game watched by a good weekend crowd at the Cebu Coliseum.

The Beermen made it two in a row on the road and improved to 7-2 overall, just half a game behind the Aces (7-1).

Hontiveros and the rest of the SMB gang continued to dish out an A-1 performance, setting a new season record streak of seven games with a whopping average margin of 16.7 points.

Alaska’s own streak was halted to six games by Rain or Shine before the Aces notched victory No. 7 at the expense of the Talk n Text Tropang Texters Friday at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Aces take on the Purefoods Giants at the resumption of play at the Big Dome today, looking to close out their stint in the first round of the preliminaries at 8-1.

Sta. Lucia seeks solo fourth as it plays Barako Bull in the other game.

The Beermen buckled down to work early, taking the opening quarter at 29-1. They kept commanding spreads all the way to the finish.

Struggling minus main man Asi Taulava, the Tigers hardly got into the game, suffering a sixth loss in seven outings. Coca-Cola had never had a previous 1-6 start since joining the league in 2002.

The Beermen broke the game wide open right in the first half while dominating the boards, getting the baskets and also getting the job done on the defensive end.

Mark Macapagal was the lone Tiger doing well in the first half. Alas, he had to sit down after a flagrant foul on a driving Bonbon Custodio.

Macapagal had set a personal season high of 11 points before taking the breather.

San Miguel built a 20-point cushion at 51-31 on a floating shot by Custodio before settling for a 56-39 spread at the half.
