ICYMI: Ginebra rookie Jeremiah Gray drains three crucial triples inside the final two minutes as the Gin Kings deal NLEX its first loss in the PBA Governors’ Cup.
MANILA, Philippines – Jeremiah Gray knocked down one big shot after another and Barangay Ginebra completed a 114-111 comeback win over NLEX in the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, February 8.
NLEX looked on its way to its fifth straight win after grabbing a 108-101 lead off a Kevin Alas triple, but Ginebra erected a win-clinching 13-3 run powered by Gray and import Justin Brownlee. Alas had a chance to regain the upper hand for the Road Warriors after Gray sank his final three-pointer, but he turned the ball over underneath the basket after being suffocated by Jamie Malonzo and Raymond Aguilar.
Reigning MVP Scottie Thompson flirted with a triple-double after putting up 12 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds for Ginebra, which also received 10 points from Stanley Pringle.
