SMART CLARK GIGA CITY — Barangay Ginebra San Miguel continues to have the number of Meralco.
This, as the Gin Kings dominated the Bolts anew, 96-79, to decisively take Game 1 of their 2020 PBA Philippine Cup best-of-five semifinal series, Wednesday night at the SMART 5G-powered AUF Sports and Cultural Center.
Stanley Pringle led the spread-out attack with 19 points, nine of which came in the second quarter where the Barangay started to break the game wide open that saw them flip a three-point lead to a 48-36 lead at the half.
Scottie Thompson flirted with yet another triple-double, finishing with 13 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists. One of his dimes led to a Prince Caperal trey that pushed their lead to a game-high 25 points, 90-65, with 4:46 left to play.
Rookie Arvin Tolentino made 13 points as well. LA Tenorio and Aljon Mariano each produced 11 points, as Caperal chimed in 10 markers as a total of six Gin Kings scored in double figures in the impressive win.
Allein Maliksi led Meralco with 24 points.
