Japeth Aguilar had 18 points, and Scottie Thompson finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.The Gin Kings, who won the Commissioner&#x27;s Cup just three weeks ago, had to overhaul a nine-point deficit in the third quarter before out-playing the Elasto Painters in the final period. &quot;We didn&#x27;t panic when we fell behind for that short time and got back into the game with a couple of big 3s, one from him [Pinto],&quot; said Ginebra coach Tim Cone. &quot;He&#x27;s a well-deserved Best Player of the Game today. Really well-deserved.&quot;The Elasto Painters were in control, 81-72, after a Gabe Norwood jumper with under a minute left in the third quarter. But Pinto responded with a jump shot of his own, and Brownlee and Stanley Pringle knocked down back-to-back triples to make it a one-point game entering the final period, 81-80.ROS import Michael Qualls kept them ahead, 93-90, off two free throws with under nine minutes to go but Pinto drilled yet another triple to tie the game.His big bucket sparked an 11-0 run, with Jeremiah Gray capping the flurry with a jumper for a 101-93 lead with just six minutes left. Rain or Shine stayed within striking distance thanks to Beau Belga and Rey Nambatac; the latter hit a three-pointer with less than three minutes to go to make it a five-point game, 108-103. But Brownlee responded with back-to-back layups to push Ginebra ahead, 112-103, with 1:56 to go and the Elasto Painters faded from there.Qualls finished with 23 points and five rebounds for Rain or Shine, while Belga had 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting. Nambatac finished with 18.But they allowed the Gin Kings to shoot a blistering 63.4% from the field, with Ginebra making 24 of their 29 attempts inside the paint. The Elasto Painters fell to 0-4 in the season-ending conference.<div>The Scores:</div>GINEBRA 116 – Brownlee 29, J.Aguilar 18, Thompson 15, Pringle 14, Malonzo 14, Pinto 12, Gray 7, Standhardinger 4, Tenorio 3, Mariano 0RAIN OR SHINE 108 – Qualls 23, Belga 21, Namabatac 18, Yap 11, Santillan 7, Torres 7, Mamuyac 6, Borboran 5, Asistio 4, Demusis 4, Norwood 2, Ponferrada 0QUARTERS: 28-21, 50-45, 80-81, 116-108.<div>PBA Season 47 games can be streamed live and on-demand on iWantTFC with a Premium subscription, available worldwide except PH and US.</div>
