[Saba Sports News] The quarter-finals of the PBA Governor’s Cup between Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Meralco have been strained to the core, and Ginebra expects the third match on Monday to be even more intense, especially as Meralco vows to stop Ginebra’s plans for a 3-0 sweep.

“It would be great if we could sweep them,” said Justin Brownlee, Ginebra’s resident foreign aid. He played a key role in Ginebra’s first two games, helping the team build 2-0 leads with 99-92 and 104-103 victories.
“They are a strong team and we knew they would come back in the second game and they did come back strongly. They will be stronger in the next game, so we have to be ready, “he added.
Despite Ginebra’s strong showing in their playoff matchup with Meralco, coach Tim Cone wants the team to stay calm in this potential closing battle at the Ninoy Aquino Coliseum on Monday at 5 p.m.
“We were really lucky to go 2-0 up, but the old saying goes: we haven’t accomplished anything yet. The old saying is true. We found a way to win Game 2, but we still have to find a way to win the series, “Cohen said.
