Ginebra is inching closer to a playoff berth in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup with a fourth win in eight matches.
Ginebra turned it up a notch after a so-so opener to cruise past Blackwater, 103-85, in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Wednesday, Dec. 10.
The Gin Kings dropped a 40-point bomb in the second period and left the Bossing in ruins for the rest of the match.
Ginebra fired nine three-pointers in the second, including one from Scottie Thompson that pushed its lead to 23, 63-40.

The squad thus jacked up their playoff aspirations with a 4-4 record, while also dealing Blackwater an eighth straight loss against a sole victory.
The Gin Kings will only have a day to prepare before returning to the court against Terrafirma Friday, Dec. 12.
