SAN Miguel Beer’s all-time great Allan Caidic fired a game-high 26 points, highlighted by six three-point bombs, to help the Beermen beat Alaska, 96-86, in the Philippine Basketball Association’s Return of the Rivals at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday.

Down 24-34 late in the first half, the Beermen unleashed Caidic who notched 21 points in the second half to erase the deficit en route to winning the exhibition game organized by the pro league’s retired players for a charitable cause.
