ICYMI: LA Tenorio leads Ginebra's same set of suspects as the Gin Kings disarm TNT of its twice-to-beat advantage. PBAPlayoffs PBAItuloyAngLaban
MANILA, Philippines – Barangay Ginebra overcame a twice-to-beat disadvantage and stunned TNT, 115-95, to earn its semifinal berth in the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Araneta Coliseum on Saturday, March 19.
The Tropang Giga appeared to have rediscovered the formula in beating Ginebra like they did thrice earlier in the season after taking a 29-25 first-quarter lead but fizzled out in the ensuing period. Although the Tropang Giga narrowed the gap to 13 points early in the final salvo, the Gin Kings eventually restored order and brought their lead back to 23 off an Aguilar alley-oop slam with three minutes left, 112-89.
