RJ Abarrientos struck the dagger in the waning moments as Ginebra took down TNT in a thriller, 93-86, to clinch the no. 2 seed entering the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals at the Mall of Asia Arena, Sunday night;.
The star guard knocked down the booming trifecta off an inbound to push their lead to 91-83 with exactly 48.0 seconds remaining, more than enough to come away with the victory–and finish the eliminations with back-to-back wins.
Troy Rosario would go on to settle the final count with a cleanup of his own miss with 7.9 seconds left as the crowd darlings ended the preliminaries with a 9-2 record, having won seven of their final eight games of the said round.
And by finishing at second, the Barangay will be taking on the seventh-seed in the Phoenix Fuel Masters as the quarters picture has finally been set.
