Defending champion TNT and Barangay Ginebra go at it again on Wednesday in the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals, with the powerhouse clubs looking to bring entirely different versions of themselves from the last time they met.

Coach Tim Cone promptly put the series-leveling 106-92 triumph last Sunday behind as the Gin Kings now navigate a shorter race with their best-of-seven showdown with the Tropang Giga now a battle for two wins.

“All we did was tie the series,” the seasoned coach said. “It’s 0-0 now. We can’t live off the last two games and just feel good about that. We got to keep forward-moving and forward-thinking.”

“It’s a team sport. I wouldn’t have gotten the award without my teammates but I was more so worried about the game and winning it,” said Hollis-Jefferson on Sunday at Araneta Coliseum.
