Barangay Ginebra and TNT, two of the most dominant squads in the 2022-23 PBA Governors' Cup, begin their highly-anticipated Finals date when they collide in Game One of their best-of-seven title series on Easter Sunday, April 9 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
TNT reached the Finals after topping the eliminations with its near flawless 10-1 record, smothering eighth seed Phoenix in the quarterfinals, before hammering sister team Meralco, 3-1 in their semifinal series duel.On the other hand, Ginebra entered the playoffs as the third seed after finishing the eliminations with an 8-3 record.
Saved for TNT's 114-121 overtime loss to Meralco in Game Three of its semis series, Lastimosa's charges have been nothing but superb.And Cone can't help but agree.'We watched TNT and studied them. They are a great shooting team. They get to the paint, and they got an import who has been in the NBA for years, and he's not only in NBA, but a top player in the NBA,' stressed the 65-year-old Cone, who has guided Ginebra to seven league titles since coming on board in 2015.
