Ginebra and Meralco are locked in another playoff series, this time in the PBA Commissioner's Cup quarterfinals.
Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and the Meralco Bolts are set to clash once again in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals, marking another chapter in their intense playoff rivalry.
The Gin Kings enter the postseason as the fourth seed with an 8-4 record, finishing the elimination round strong with back-to-back wins.
On the other hand, Meralco ended with a 7-5 record, dropping its last two games, including a 91-87 loss to Ginebra that contributed to the Bolts missing out on a twice-to-beat advantage.
This will be the third straight conference that these two teams meet in the playoffs.
Meralco won a hard-fought series in the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup semifinals, where it won a thrilling 4-3 series against the Gin Kings.
However, Ginebra was quick to get its revenge as the Gin Kings swept the Bolts in the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup quarterfinals, 3-0.
With both teams evenly matched, this best-of-three quarterfinal series is expected to be another tightly contested battle.
Ginebra-Meralco PBA Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals schedule:
- Game 1 - February 5, 7:30 p.m. at Smart Araneta Coliseum
- Game 2 - February 7, 5:00 p.m. at Ninoy Aquino Stadium
- Game 3 (if necessary) - February 9, 7:30 p.m. at Ynares Center Antipolo
