Ginebra survived a late scare from TNT to pocket win No. 6 and secure its seat in the quarterfinals in the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup.
Ginebra displayed steely resolve at endgame to nip TNT, 87-83, and assure itself of a quarterfinal appearance in the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup on Friday, April 19.
The Gin Kings lost hold of an early 21-point lead and had to figure in a nip-and-tuck battle with the Tropang Giga in the fourth before Scottie Thompson delivered a booming triple that shattered an 83-all count in the final minute.
The Gin Kings thus notched their third straight win for a 6-3 card at third while TNT slipped to a share of sixth with NorthPort at 4-4.
