Barangay Ginebra narrowly escaped a determined Blackwater squad, extending their winning streak to four games in the PBA Governors' Cup. The Kings held off a late rally to secure the victory, showcasing their resilience despite a shaky finish.
Ginebra appeared in control for most of the game, but Blackwater refused to back down, trimming the lead to single digits in the final quarter. The Kings, however, leaned on their veteran core to weather the storm and close out the game.
Japeth Aguilar led the charge with a strong all-around performance, while Justin Brownlee delivered in clutch moments. The win keeps Ginebra in contention for a top seed, while Blackwater fell short despite a gutsy effort.
