Brgy. Ginebra will try to avoid going down 0-2 to defending champion TNT as the PBA Governors' Cup Finals move to the Big Dome.
Barangay Ginebra will be seeking redemption in Game 2 of the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup Finals against TNT Tropang Giga after a disappointing 104-88 loss in the series opener.
Justin Brownlee led the Gin Kings with 23 points, but his efforts weren’t enough to spark a comeback as Ginebra trailed by 12 after the first quarter and never managed to take the lead.
Despite five Ginebra players scoring in double figures, the team struggled to find rhythm, with former MVP Scottie Thompson and rookie standout RJ Abarrientos combining for just 12 points.
Down by as many as 20 in the second half of Game 1, Ginebra will need a more energized start and consistent play from key contributors if the Gin Kings hope to level the series.
Tip off for Game 2 is at 7:30 p.m. from the Big Dome, with Ginebra going for the chance to make this highly-anticipated rematch competitive.
