Ginebra dominates Terrafirma from start to finish, inches closer to PBA PH Cup QFs


Ginebra inched closer to the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup quarterfinals following an easy 108-77 victory over the also-ran Terrafirma at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Friday.

The Kings raced to a 20-6 start seven minutes into the match and that’s all they needed to eventually turn the game into a lopsided affair toward extending their winning streak to three, in the process climbing up a step in the standings.

From sitting at eighth, the crowd darlings have taken the no. 7 spot from the 4-4 Meralco although the Bolts could regain as much should they handle business against another playoff-hunting team in Phoenix later in the night.

All but one of the 13 players scored in the wire-to-wire win, with six finishing in double figures led by Jayson David with 16 points and eight rebounds.

Norbert Torres and Troy Rosario made 13 points apiece. Japeth Aguilar and rookie Sonny Estil supplied 12 points each while Scottie Thompson did a little bit of everything with 10 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and three steals.
