Coach Tim Cone said playing fire with fire will not be the case for Barangay Ginebra, as it tries to close out San Miguel Beer and set up a showdown with TNT for the championship of the PBA Governors’ Cup.
“If you’re gonna try [to] outscore San Miguel, you’re gonna fail 90 percent of the time because they’re so gifted offensively,” Cone said ahead of Sunday’s Game 6 of their semifinal series set at 7:30 p.m. at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
