Ginebra waxed hot from deep and dealt Rain or Shine easily its worst loss of the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup through a 114-90 torching to bolster its Top Four hopes, Sunday night at the SMART Araneta Coliseum.
The Kings knocked down 21 triples, weaponizing the outside shot to turn things around in the second quarter before breaking the game wide in the ensuing frame to eventually bounce back from a blowout loss to Meralco last Friday.
Ralph Cu himself nailed a pair to help put together a 19-7 blitz toward a 51-42 lead entering the break, and Stephen Holt would hit one crucial one to push the gap to 64-49 early in the third, thus signalling the start of their pullaway.
So lopsided was the bout that the crew had already hit the century mark past the midway mark of the fourth behind Troy Rosario as they simply had their way toward dislodging the Elasto Painters at no. 2 in the standings with an 8-3 card.
Justin Brownlee starred in the win with 40 points on a 54.2-percent clip from the floor alongside eight rebounds, five assists, a steal, and two blocks.
