BARANGAY GINEBRA stayed in the hunt for an outright semis berth
after posting a 111-96 win over Welcoat Friday in the 2008 Smart-PBA
Fiesta Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.
Marc Caguioa scored seven points in a 14-2 run
as the Gin Kings doused cold water in the Dragons surge en route to
posting their ninth win in 17 outings.
Caguioa topscored for the Kings with 26 points,
including 16 in the second half, followed by Ronald Tubid with 24
points and Chris Alexander with 20 points.
Import Marquis Gainous finished with 14 points
for Welcoat, which ended the double-round elims at 4-14.
But Ginebra’s victory will become useless if
Red Bull wins its game against Talk ‘N Text. The Barakos and the
Phone Pals were playing at press time.
Red Bull needs to win of its last two
assignments to formalize their entry in the semis.
