Sensing blood, Barangay Ginebra will be shooting for no less than a sweep against sister team San Miguel Beer when both squads collide in Game Three of their 2022-23 PBA Governors' Cup best-of-five semifinal series on Wednesday, March 29 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Gin Kings took the first two games behind their strong start, while demonstrating composure every time the Beermen try to mount a comeback from big deficits.With the team holding a commanding 2-0 series lead, Ginebra guns for a rare sweep and advance to the championship round with a win in their 5:45 p.m. encounter.The reigning conference champion Ginebra took Game One, 121-112, before following that up with a 121-103 rough-housing of San Miguel in Game Two.
But then, again, if there's any team capable of coming back from a series deficit, it's San Miguel. The league's winningest franchise in league history can always go back to the 2016 Philippine Cup Finals for inspiration when the Beermen, then mentored by coach Leo Austria, bounced back after going down 0-3, winning four straight games en route to winning the championship in historic fashion.
