Barangay Ginebra one win away for its first All-Filipino Championship

Barangay Ginebra “Gin” Kings are one win away for taking home the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup “All-Filipino” Championship.

The Gin King withstand a late run by the TNT Tropang Giga, that saw their 17-pts lead cut down to just 3 with less than 5 mins left in the game. Veteran point guard LA Tenorio helped in weathering the TNT run by answering RR Pogoy three consecutive triples, with a back-to-back triples and a one-handed baseline floater to seal the game away at 98-88.

TNT Tropang Giga are playing without two of their key players because of injuriy, Bobby Ray Parks who have been sidelined since playing game 1 and Jayson Castro, who only played the first 3 quarters of Game 4, but was not able to return in the 4th quarter for aggravating a knee injury.

This latest win gives Ginebra Gin Kings a commanding 3-1 series lead with a chance to close out the championship series on Wednesday, December 9, at the AUF Sports Center and capture its first All-Filipino crown in 13 years.

The Scores:

GINEBRA 98 – Tenorio 22, Aguilar 22, Pringle 16, Thompson 11, Devance 8, Dillinger 7, Chan 6, Caperal 6, Mariano 0.

TNT 88 – Pogoy 34, Erram 19, Rosario 16, Enciso 10, Reyes 3, Semerad 2, Castro 2, Vosotros 2, Washington 0, De Leon 0, Montalbo 0.

Quarters: 17-14; 49-39; 76-60; 98-88.
