Ginebra and TNT tied in PBA finals series
Barangay Ginebra and TNT will face off again on Wednesday in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup finals. This matchup follows two very different games. One was a high-scoring shootout, while the other was a tough defensive battle. The teams are tied in the series, and the next game will take place at PhilSports Arena in Pasig City at 7:30 p.m. The Ginebra team recently secured a close victory, winning 71-70. They plan to continue focusing on strong defense in the next game. Ginebra player Stephen Holt emphasized the importance of keeping up the intensity after their last win. He believes that TNT will come back prepared and ready to play hard. Ginebra’s defense shined during their last game, effectively limiting TNT's star player, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, and other key scorers. Coach Tim Cone noted that their team finished first in defense this conference. He also mentioned the need for better offensive performance, as their shooting percentage was low. Cone praised TNT’s head coach Chot Reyes for his ability to make strategic adjustments. He acknowledged that Ginebra must be ready for changes in TNT's game plan. Player Justin Brownlee emphasized the team’s determination to stay focused and hungry for success, given their competitive history with TNT. The upcoming game promises to be another tough challenge for both teams.
