Ginebra faced TNT for the first time since ceding the PBA Season 49 Comm's Cup crown. The Gin Kings made sure they will emerge triumphant this time.
Ginebra got some measure of revenge against TNT in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Sunday, June 8.
Loser in their battle for the Commissioner's Cup crown last March, the Gin Kings exacted their revenge via a 97-78 crushing of the Grand Slam-seeking squad at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate.
Ginebra leaned on a scintillating 30-11 start to set the tone for its commanding win, their seventh against three setbacks.
The Gin Kings thus moved closer to clinching a twice-to-beat bonus in the quarters.
