PBA 2023: Ginebra Wins Game 3 Convincingly

Barangay Ginebra regained control of the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals with a 117-103 victory over TNT at Smart Araneta Coliseum on Friday, aided by a fourth-quarter three-point barrage.

In the best-of-seven series, the Gin Kings led 2-1 after Jamie Malonzo and import Justin Brownlee scored from distance to halt a Tropang Giga comeback earlier in the period.

Stanley Pringle emerged from the shooting with a perfect night as one of the heroes in Ginebra’s victory, which prevented coach Tim Cone’s squad from claiming a third consecutive season-ending conference title.

“We struck the ball exceptionally well from various angles tonight, headed by Stanley. Cone stated, “He kept us in the game, put us ahead, and kept us in the game during the first half, and gave us some huge baskets in the second half.”
