The Ginebra Gin Kings cashed in on their win-once bonus as they saw off the Converge FiberXers in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup quarterfinals.
Fourth-seeded Ginebra refused to extend the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup quarterfinals as it showed No. 5 Converge the exit door, 88-80, Friday, June 20.
The Gin Kings leaned on Stephen Holt and Japeth Aguilar in a 28-15 second quarter surge to seize the upperhand and build some cushion, 49-41, at halftime.
They kept the FiberXers at bay from there to set up a semifinal clash with sister team San Miguel.
Their fellow twice-to-beat Beermen also quickly dispatched defending champion Meralco, 108-97, in their side of the Last Eight earlier in the night.
The best-of-seven series starts on Wednesday.
