A Sunday PBA game with major playoff implications, it couldn’t get better than this.
NLEX takes on Brgy. Ginebra Sunday at the Big Dome in one of the more crucial late-conference duels of the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup.
The Road Warriors are fighting for a playoff spot, while Ginebra is looking to solidify its standing for the quarterfinals, making this matchup vital for both sides.
NLEX, currently in 4th place in Group B with a 4-5 record, needs a win to secure the final spot in the quarterfinals.

With the head-to-head tiebreaker over Blackwater (also 4-5), a win will confirm their playoff berth, adding enormous pressure on the Road Warriors to deliver.
Ginebra, sitting comfortably at 6-3, has already booked a quarterfinals spot.
However, this game will help determine their final seeding, as the Gin Kings are looking at Meralco, Magnolia, or Converge as a possible quarterfinals opponent from Group A.
Coming off a bounce-back win over Phoenix after suffering a shocking 49-point defeat to San Miguel, Ginebra is keen to finish the eliminations strong and regain top form.
