MANILA, Philippines — GlobalPort banked on a strong start to dispose of Ginebra, 89-80, and score its second win Friday night in the 2013 PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Batang Pier managed to maintain a safe lead from the Kings, keeping a cushion over 10 points in the final payoff period.

But coach Junel Baculi is not taking any credit away from the struggling Ginebra even in a night when GlobalPort dominated.

“Ginebra is always tough to beat, because of their neevr say die attitude but we have our own version — we never quit,” said Baculi.

Import Justin Williams had a field day with 23 points — all from inside the arch — along with just as many rebounds and eight big blocks.
