17-Point Rally Not Enough: Can Ginebra Flip the Script to Force Game 7?

Ginebra faces an elimination game against San Miguel in Game 6 of the PBA Philippine Cup semifinals on Friday, January 16, after losing Game 5 with a 115-109 score. Despite the loss and a 2-3 series deficit, coach Tim Cone expressed pride in his team's resilience, as they mounted a late comeback from 17 points down in the fourth quarter, closing the gap to 109-111 before ultimately falling short.

Coach Cone acknowledged critical turnovers and an off-night for his team but emphasized the fighting spirit they displayed. He has shifted focus to the upcoming must-win Game 6, drawing a parallel to the previous conference's scenario but with the roles reversed, as San Miguel now holds the 3-2 lead. Cone stated that the team's sole focus is on winning Game 6 to force a decisive Game 7.

The game will be played at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao on Friday, January 16.
