It&#x27;s just unfortunate that we didn&#x27;t make it to the victory,&quot; he added.</p><p>Del Rosario offered the same explanation.</p><p>&quot;We needed more energy din,&quot; the deputy Ginebra mentor said in a separate scrum.  </p><p>&quot;Christian was scoring, but yung mga guys na pinasok namin, they made the run eh. So we stayed with those guys. Nothing against Christian, we just stayed with those guys,&quot; he explained, while also pointing out how they also opted to bench Stanley Pringle. </p><p>&quot;&#x27;Di lang naman si Christian &#x27;yung di na naglaro, even Stanley.&quot; </p><p>&quot;When you get lifts from guys off the bench, you have to reward them also. Magnada yung pinakita nila so we stuck with those guys sa stretch na &#x27;yon,&quot; he added. </p><p>Moving forward, Del Rosario said that their focus now is to point out their lapses, especially on starting the game slowly much like their previous game against the San Miguel Beermen.</p><p>&quot;We have to figure things out. We need to address this before our next game on Friday,&quot; he said.</p><p>The 3-3 Gin Kings will face the Blackwater Bossing on April 12 at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig. Tip-off is at 7:30 PM. </p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3007061"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script></div>
