Ginebra, riding a 3-2 record, is coming off a statement 85-66 win over Converge last May 10 in a game where Aguilar showed vintage form with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks, overwhelming the FiberXers’ vaunted frontline of Justin Arana and Justine Baltazar.
The Gin Kings also drew solid contributions from Scottie Thompson (15 points, four rebounds) and RJ Abarrientos (14 points, five rebounds, three assists), showcasing their depth and renewed energy following a stretch of inconsistency.
They’ll look to stay sharp against a Phoenix side that has dropped to 2-4 after a 111-92 loss to San Miguel last May 11.
With momentum and confidence on their side, the Gin Kings are in prime position to build a winning streak and continue asserting their presence in the midseason shake-up.
