Ginebra is through to the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup quarterfinals.

This as the Gin Kings nipped erstwhile co-leader Rain or Shine, 102-100, in their Season 50 Philippine Cup match at the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Bahrain early Thursday, Dec. 18 (Manila time).

 

At 6-4, Ginebra clinched the last playoff spot and ousted Titan Ultra before they even square off Sunday, Dec. 21.

Match tips off at 7:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao.

Rain or Shine, which already secured a twice-to-beat edge, slid to second behind San Miguel (8-2) after absorbing its third loss in 11 outings. 

Like most sportswriters, Jan Ballesteros once dreamed of becoming a professional hooper. But he learned the hard way that it’s not for everyone.

He continues to be involved in the sport he loves, but this time as a member of the PBA Press Corps. Aside from primarily covering the PBA, he is also assigned to cover Gilas Pilipinas.
