Talk N Text continued its juggernaut in the third quarter as it established a huge 23 point advantage, 64-41 on a triple by Kelly Williams, 4:34 remaining in the period.
The Tropang Texters were up, 69-52 entering the fourth. But Barangay Ginebra wasn’t done yet and tried to muster a comeback in the final quarter.
Ronald Tubid and Mike Cortez rifled in triples while Enrico Villanueva added a free throw in a 7-0 assault that brought the Gin Kings to within ten points, 69-59, 9:40 remaining.
But after Jared Dillinger and John Wilson exchanged two free throws, Talk N Text pulled away for good with Reyes and Williams buckling back to work anew.
Reyes even completed a rare four-point play off a foul by Villanueva at the height of a 12-2 blast that gave the Tropang Texters an 81-63 spread, 5:31 left.
“This is our way of paying tribute to our brothers at Philex Mining,” said TNT coach Vincent “Chot” Reyes saying that they spent time bonding with miners in Baguio during the nine-day break.

Williams completed a double-double with 19 points and 11 boards aside from two assists and a steal.
