Ginebra dominates Global Port
Opening day still ended with a bang following a 20-point victory, 110-90, of crowd-favorite Ginebra San Miguel over new team Global Port Batang Pier (formerly known as the Powerade Tigers.)
New recruit and Jones Cup hero L.A. Tenorio was named player of the game after teaming up with reigning Most Valuable Player Mark Caguioa late in the game to fend off a Global Port rally. Tenorio finished the game with just 2 points, but with 10 assists and 9 rebounds. Caguioa led Ginebra with 18 points. – Rappler.com
