The Ginebra Gin Kings prevailed in the latest installment of their playoff battle with the Meralco Bolts to move on to the PBA Commissioner's Cup semis.
Ginebra quickly got back on its feet to deal Meralco a 94-87 decision in the winner-take-all Game 3 of the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup quarterfinals on Sunday, Feb. 9.
The Gin Kings improved to an 8-2 tally against the Bolts in the playoffs since the 2016 Governors' Cup, but, more importantly, have arranged a semifinal clash against NorthPort.

The best-of-seven semifinal series, though, is set later this month as the league will take a break for the Gilas Pilipinas' campaign in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers.
