Brgy. Ginebra def Rain or Shine

Recap

Barangay Ginebra rides the momentum of stirring wins over champion rivals San Miguel Beer and Magnolia as the Gin Kings tangle with the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in a Petron Blaze Saturday face-off, hoping to sustain their charge to be in the Top Four at the halfway mark of the PBA Governors Cup elims.

The E-Painters are among the cellar-dwellers but they set out for the 6:45 match at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in high spirits, having snapped a losing skein on the solid debut of new import Kwame Alexander.

Blasting the Blackwater Elite, 99-82 Wednesday, the E-Painters go for a follow-up to break free from a deadlock with the Elite at 2-5.

But ecstatic as they are with their win over the Elite, coach Caloy Garcia believes they have to be even better to have a chance against the Gin Kings.

“If we wanna make it, it has to be a sweep. But we’re not thinking about that now. We’re thinking how to get better (for Ginebra),” said Garcia.
