Scottie Thompson impressed with a career-high scoring and a triple-double output in Ginebra's Game 4 win over San Miguel in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Sunday, Jan. 11.
After starting flat, Ginebra cracked the code in the second period on their way to a 105-91 win over San Miguel in Game 4 of the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup semifinals at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay Sunday, Jan. 11.
Down by as many as 16 points in the opening period, the Gin Kings went berserk and used a 30-19 second quarter onslaught to make it a close contest and eventually draw level in the best-of-seven series.
Scottie Thompson was the star of the show, dropping a career-high 35 points he spiked with 11 rebounds and 11 assists for a triple-double output.
Ginebra can regain the lead and move a win away from a finals berth when it takes on the Beermen in Game 5 Wednesday, Jan. 14 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
