Twice a day practices, staying at the hotel, not being home, it was a tough week. Then to come here to play five days just a testament to their character,” said Cone.Aside from that, Cone also has the likes of Christian Standhardinger, Nards Pinto, Jeremiah Gray and Stanley Pringle, who all stepped up in the absence of injured Kings like Japeth Aguilar and LA Tenorio.“There&#x27;s really been a lot of guys contributing,” said Cone.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/03/05/23/meralco-stays-in-twice-to-beat-hunt-after-tough-win-vs-phoenix">PBA: Meralco hacks tough win vs Phoenix, stays in contention for twice-to-beat</a></li></ul>Ginebra will now have to win at least one of their last two assignments for a sure clinch on the twice-to-beat bonus.“We knew this would be a big game in terms of taking us over the hump and getting to the top four. We have to get one of our next two to qualify to the top four. We have a game on Wednesday (against Terrafirma) and we have to make sure we take care of that,” he said.<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>
