Barangay Ginebra San Miguel rolled to its third straight win after a 107-95 win over Blackwater in the 2016 PBA Governors’ Cup Wednesday night at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Import Justin Brownlee and LA Tenorio combined for 50 points for the Kings, who upped their mark to 4-1.

“This was a really danger game for us coming from a long break and most of our guys in the All-Star stuff,” said Ginebra head coach Tim Cone.

“The rest of the guys worked really hard. Justin really worked hard in the break to get into better shape,” Cone added. “But all day today I was worried about this game. Really worried. Worried about Dawson, worried about Lastimosa.”

Japeth Aguilar added a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds for Ginebra, which pulled away early in the fourth quarter.

Back-to-back triples by Brownlee and Tenorio put the game out of reach, 103-87, with 3:10 left.

Eric Dawson and Carlo Lastimosa led the Elite, who slid to 1-3, with 26 and 21 points, respectively. Dawson also ripped down 18 rebounds and had seven assists.
