It was a mistake that Tenorio said was tough to get over.</p><p>That was exactly what he did in Game 4 of the series, however. Tenorio put up 14 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in over 42 minutes of action, as the Gin Kings routed the Road Warriors 112-93.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a

never worried about Tenorio, stressing that his point guard knows how to get past his mistakes.</p><p>&quot;LA is a vet. I just had no concern for him,&quot; said Cone. &quot;We just kind of ignored the whole thing, we didn&#x27;t really talk it out. We just kind of like it never happened and we just moved forward.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I know it had to be a really difficult thing for him, at home, by himself, or with his wife, discussing it, people saying stuff about it,&quot; he added. &quot;But like I said, he&#x27;s a veteran and he&#x27;s a leader.&quot;</p><p>&quot;He knows as a leader, he cannot dwell on that, he has to move forward to get his teammates to move forward. That&#x27;s what you do as a leader, you move forward,&quot; Cone also said.</p><p>The coach pointed out that Tenorio was having a superb performance in Game 3 before his miscues in the endgame. The point guard had 10 points and nine assists in that contest, and was a plus-15 for the game.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/03/28/22/cone-wants-tenorio-to-move-on-from-late-game-blunder">READ: Cone wants Tenorio to move on from late-game blunder</a></li></ul><p>&quot;He was having a great game and then a couple of things happened to him at the last [minute],&quot; said Cone. &quot;So everybody remembers that but don&#x27;t remember the +15.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I had no worries. I&#x27;m sure some people had no worries, but I&#x27;ve known LA for so long, I knew he&#x27;d get right through it and move on,&quot; he added.</p><p>Tenorio, for his part, expressed his gratitude to his teammates for their support, and was especially thankful to import Justin Brownlee who towed Ginebra to victory with a conference-high 47 points.</p><p>&quot;We rallied together coming to this game knowing what happened to us with that incident that happened. I&#x27;m thankful for my teammates, the whole team. They really supported me,&quot; said Tenorio.</p><p>&quot;They guided me especially right after the game, and then the next day in practice. Laking bagay na ganun &#x27;yung team, together,&quot; he added.</p><p>Ginebra is still waiting for their opponent in the finals, with Magnolia and Meralco set for Game 5 of their own series on Friday.<br/> </p>

After a much-maligned performance in Game 3 of their semifinals, Barangay Ginebra point guard LA Tenorio rebounded in their series-clinching win against NLEX.
