Scottie Thompson was the answer Ginebra needed at the buzzer to escape Magnolia, 95-92, and prevail in their Christmas Clasico battle in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on Wednesday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao.

Thompson swished the cold-blooded trey to help the Gin Kings recover from their loss to Converge four days ago in Batangas and put them back on track.

 

Ginebra upped its mark to 4-2.

The Hotshots, meanwhile, slipped to 2-5.
