TNT VS. BARANGAY GINEBRA
When: Wednesday, June 10. 7:30 p.m.
Where: Smart-Araneta Coliseum
Ginebra goes for commanding lead
Ginebra will try to step closer to winning its first championship in three years with a win on Wednesday. The Gin Kings came away with a 116-102 victory over TNT last Sunday to claim a 2-1 lead in the finals.
The Tropang 5G, on the other hand, will look to tie the series, especially since in their last three match-ups in the finals, no team has ever led 3-1.
Holt an added offensive weapon
Stephen Holt finally came alive offensively for Ginebra, notching 23 points including five triples and one four in the Game 3 win.
With the Gin Kings swingman on fire last Sunday, TNT has an added man to think of defensively, and may no longer have the luxury to sag off of Holt.
Oftana must respond
Calvin Oftana had a sorry showing in Game 3 when he only had two points in the loss. Oftana only shot 1-of-8 from the field, as he had to overcome Ginebra’s defense fronted by Holt.
