MANILA, Philippines - Dumiretso sa kanilang ikalawang sunod na panalo ang Barangay Ginebra at Air21 para magsalo sa li­derato ng 2014 PBA Go­ver­nors’ Cup.

Bumangon ang Gin Kings mula sa isang 11-point de­ficit sa second period pa­ra gibain ang Meralco Bolts, 95-82, habang gumamit ang Express ng isang 20-2 atake sa fourth quarter pa­ra talunin ang Barako Bull E­nergy Cola, 101-86, ka­gabi sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.

Humakot si import Zaccheus Mason ng 32 points at 19 rebounds para sa pa­ngalawang dikit na tagum­pay ng Ginebra, iniwanan ng Meralco sa pagsisimula ng second quarter, 29-18, mu­la sa split ni import Terrence Williams.

“I told the palyers after halftime that we have to be con­sistent and play defense. Mindset is playing defense and sharing the ball,” sabi ni rookie mentor Jeffrey Caria­so sa kanyang Gin Kings.

Matapos kunin ang 46-43 bentahe sa first half ay pi­nalobo ng Ginebra sa 66-56 ang kanilang kalama­ngan sa Meralco, natikman ang pangatlong sunod na pag­katalo, sa 2:36 minuto ng third period.

Sa likod nina import Terrence Williams, Cliff Hodge at Gary David ay nakadikit ang Bolts sa 70-76 agwat sa gitna ng fourth quarter.

Isang 11-4 atake ang inilunsad nina seven-foot rookie Greg Slaughter, Japeth Aguilar at LA Tenorio pa­ra muling ilayo ang Gin Kings sa 87-74 sa huling 2:54 minuto.

Kumolekta naman si im­port Dominique Sutton ng 24 points, 16 rebounds, 6 steals at 4 assists para sa panalo ng Air21, habang nag-ambag ng 22 markers si Asi Taulava kasunod ang 17 ni Joseph Yeo at 16 ni Mac Cardona.

“It’s a good win for us. We’re successful the last two games because we’re playing within our system and using our strength,” sabi ni Express’ mentor Franz Pu­maren.

Pinamunuan ni import Eric Wise ang Barako Bull  sa kanyang 24 points.
