The clash marks the league’s first out-of-country game in its golden anniversary season — and both teams enter hungry for redemption.
Ginebra (1-2) is coming off a painful 75-89 loss to Meralco, where the Gin Kings squandered a 16-point third-quarter lead.
Abarrientos led Ginebra with 14 points, while veterans Japeth Aguilar and Stephen Holt added 13 and 12 markers, respectively.
Jeremiah Gray also chipped in 10, but their offense dried up late as the Bolts stormed back for the win.
Now, coach Tim Cone’s squad aims to steady the ship against a resurgent San Miguel side (1-2), which is fresh from a 111-93 rout of Rain or Shine.
With both teams looking to climb back to .500, fans in Dubai are in for a high-stakes matchup between two PBA giants under the international spotlight.
