Ginebra gives NLEX its first heartbreak in PBA Governors’ Cup
Ginebra improves to a 3-1 record while NLEX suffers its first loss against 4 wins

MANILA, Philippines – The Barangay Ginebra San Miguel overcame a slow start to put a stain on the NLEX Road Warriors’ perfect record with a strong 110-97 victory in the 2017 Oppo PBA Governors’ Cup on Saturday, August 5, at the Calasiao Sports Complex in Pangasinan.

NLEX took an early 12-2 lead but Joe Devance gave gas to Ginebra’s offensive engine to power off a strong 22-2 run and end the first period, 26-24.

Ginebra struggled to find rhythm in the second quarter as they were unable to score in the first 3 minutes and gave away an 11-0 blitz to the Road Warriors.

However, LA Tenorio acted like the veteran he is, and showed his usual heroics with a trey and a couple of dishes to uplift Ginebra’s advantage to a staggering 20 points, 86-66.

Larry Fonacier trimmed the lead with back-to-back triples but Ginebra was able to end strong behind Devance and Mark Caguioa’s efforts.

Devance led Ginebra with 25 points and proved to be highly efficient in tonight’s game as he connected 9-of-12 field goals.

Ginebra improved to a 3-1 record while NLEX suffered its first loss against 4 wins. – Rappler.com
