Magnolia snaps perfect Ginebra bubble run
Magnolia halts a three-game losing skid while dealing Ginebra its first loss in the PBA bubble

Magnolia leaned on a fiery second-half surge to snap Barangay Ginebra’s unbeaten run, 102-92, in the PBA Philippine Cup at the Angeles University Foundation in Pampanga on Sunday, October 25.

Jackson Corpuz finished with 20 points on a very efficient 8-of-12 shooting in his first Manila Clasico as the Hotshots snapped their three-game losing streak for a 2-4 record.

Team effort talaga. Lahat talaga kami tulong-tulong. Hindi lang naman ako yung gumanda ang laro, as a team talaga, effort talaga,” said Corpuz, who led 6 Hotshots in double figures.

(It was a team effort. All of us contributed in this victory. The whole team played well and it was total team effort.)

Leading by only 2 points at the half, Gin Kings managed to extend their lead to their biggest at 10, 75-65, after a Jeff Chan three-pointer with 3 minutes remaining in the 3rd.

Magnolia, however, went on a scorching 13-2 run to seize the lead heading into the final period, 78-77.

The Hotshots continued their offensive onslaught in the final frame and stretched their advantage to 10, 99-89, off a booming Paul Lee three-pointer with 58 seconds left to pull away from the Gin Kings for good. 

Lee and Mark Barroca added 15 points apiece for the Hotshots. Ian Sangalang tallied 14 points and 8 rebounds, while Rome Dela Rosa and Chris Banchero had 13 and 10 points, respectively. 

Stanley Pringle paced the Gin Kings with 24 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, while Japeth Aguilar chipped in 13 points and 8 rebounds as the Gin Kings absorbed their first loss after a 4-0 start.

The Scores:

Magnolia 102 – Corpuz 20, Lee 14, Barroca 15, Sangalang 14, Dela Rosa 13, Banchero 10, Jalalon 9, Reavis 6, Dionisio 0, Calisaan 0.

Ginebra 92 – Pringle 24, Aguilar 13, Chan 9, Caperal 8, Tenorio 6, Tolentino 6, Mariano 4, Devance 3.

Quarters: 25-25, 52-54, 78-77, 102-92.
