Ginebra started strong this time after falling flat early in the series opener but could not sustain it amidst the assault of TNT import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who churned out 37 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.

Thus, the Gin Kings came out on the losing end anew, 84-96, against the Tropang Giga in Game 2 of their best-of-seven PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup Finals encounter.
