Ginebra is eager to go above .500 anew in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup.
After a gut-wrenching loss, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel aim to return to the win column when they face the streaking Converge FiberXers in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Saturday, May 10.

The Gin Kings, now at 2-2, are coming off a narrow 86-89 defeat to the NLEX Road Warriors, a game where Ginebra mounted a furious rally from 17 points down, thanks largely to Stephen Holt’s explosive 18-point fourth quarter.
Despite the valiant comeback, Ginebra fell just short — and now finds itself needing to regroup quickly against one of the league’s hottest teams.
Converge (4-2) enters the match riding a three-game win streak and will look to test Ginebra’s depth and composure.
Still, with Ginebra’s championship DNA and Holt finding his groove, expect the Gin Kings to bring their signature grit in a pivotal showdown on the road.
