Meralco and Barangay Ginebra, among the teams right behind pacesetting Rain or Shine, meet Friday in a game both protagonists consider a good challenge.
Both are raring to come out in their 7:30 p.m. game that they feel could well test their character.
“It’s a crucial game for us to see if we have improved and can compete with teams that have higher standing,” said Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen.
Meralco and Barangay Ginebra, among the teams right behind pacesetting Rain or Shine, meet Friday in a game both protagonists consider a good challenge.
Both are raring to come out in their 7:30 p.m. game that they feel could well test their character.
“It’s a crucial game for us to see if we have improved and can compete with teams that have higher standing,” said Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen.
“It’s a character game for us. If we hurdle this obstacle, we will be okay,” said Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio.
Ginebra is coming off back-to-back come-from-behind wins over Powerade and Shopinas.com while Meralco is back in action after battered badly by Rain or Shine Sunday.
The Kings are now looking to beat a formidable team while the Bolts are determined to bounce back from a humbling setback.
The Bolts are at 4-3 while the Kings are at 3-2, trailing the Elasto Painters (5-1), the Talk n Text Tropang Texters (4-1) and the Barako Bull Energy (4-2).
“The loss to Rain or Shine brought us back earth. It was a game wherein you would like to forget the outcome but not the pain of such a humbling defeat. I hate losing but I love the lessons learned,” said Gregorio.
The Elasto Painters torched the Bolts with 22-of-32 three-point shooting in fashioning out a 139-95 rout.
The Bolts were ripped apart when they’re supposed to get stronger on the return of Macmac Cardona, Sol Mercado and Reynel Hugnatan.
The Elasto Painters, however, didn’t give the Bolts a chance with their torrid shooting.
The Kings, meanwhile, displayed their never-say-die spirit in pulling off incredible wins over the Tigers and the Clickers.
On both occasions, the Kings fought back from a five-point deficit inside the final minute to win. (SB)
