MANILA, Philippines—Barangay Ginebra pulled away late to zoom past TNT in the PBA on Tour, 81-67, at Ynares Sports Center, Pasig, on Friday.

The Gin Kings led after three quarters, 56-55, in what seemed to be a down-the-wire affair in the offing.

However, Jeremiah Gray, who finished with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, had other plans. He scored 11 of his 18 all in the final frame.

“I just came out really aggressive in the fourth quarter and started looking for my shots a little more and luckily for me tonight, it just fell in that quarter. It was a good one for me,” told the sharpshooting guard.

Tropang Giga even tasted the lead at one point, 62-61, before the Gin Kings shut the door on them with a 13-3 run sparked by a Von Pessumal triple to take a 74-65 lead with 8:48 remaining.
