ANTIPOLO — Barangay Ginebra gave San Miguel a dose of its own medicine and ousted its rivals through a 110-94 victory to complete the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup semifinal picture, Tuesday night at the Ynares Center here.
After being on the receiving end of a 22-0 third-quarter assault that ultimately tied their quarters series at 2-2 back in Game 4, the Kings did their own version with a blazing attack in the payoff period to turn the game around in their favor for good.
Game was still tied at 82-all until the crowd darlings found the switch and put together 19 unanswered points—capped by a Scottie Thompson floater—to give themselves a 101-82 lead with 5:40 to spare, eventually completing the comeback from 13 down.
By averting a monumental series collapse, the Barangay have set up a semis showdown with no less than TNT in a rematch of the last Governors’ Cup Finals.
