Defending champion Barangay Ginebra ended the grand-slam bid of sister-team San Miguel Beer with a masterful 104-84 rout of the Beermen Wednesday night in the quarterfinal round of the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The third-seeded Gin Kings, who only needed one win to advance, created some distance in the second quarter when they held San Miguel down to just nine points. They kept the Beermen at bay in the ensuing quarters to pull off the victory and advance to the semifinal round.
Leading the Gin Kings’ victory was import Justin Brownlee, who finished with 37 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots.
The Kings will face in the semis the winner between the Rain or Shine-TNT matchup.
